Low framerate issues [I followed the trouble shooting guide yes]

Hello, thanks for checking out my problem.

I am a beginning speedrunner for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and I record my runs and upload them to YouTube, showing my road to becomming a better runner.

I have quite a good PC, but despite that everything is running at perhaps 30-40 fps.
This is quite bothersome as a lot of tricks require precision and can be hard to perform at a choppy framerate.

Here are the things I tried:

- I updated the game
- I updated my drivers
- I closed as many background programs as I can

For some reason playing on highest and on lowest settings makes no difference.
I also always have OBS running and Livesplit, but closing those doesn't make a difference.

I always run the game on absolute lowest settings possible (Everything is either low or off) and yet I barely go above 40fps.

Here's my specs:

- Intel Core i5-8300H
- Nvidia GTX 1050
- 8GB of DDR4 RAM
- 500GB HDD
- Windows 10 Pro
- 1920x1080 Screen

The HPL log file is attached too if it helps.

Spoiler below!

- Romulator, putting this in a spoiler tag.

That machine should have no problem running the game. So there must be something in the background that blocks it.
Have you tried running the game in windowed mode?

Good suggestion, I usually run it in windowed mode. It still barely makes a difference.

RE: Low framerate issues [I followed the trouble shooting guide yes]

Did the game crash in the Prison South level? That's where the log stopped abruptly, or you didn't copy the entire log file.
If this is a consistent issue, I suggest running the game for the shortest amount of time until you encounter the issue, then shut it down and copy the log. That way the log won't be bogged by a lot of irrelevant information. As you can see, your log file is very large, and because the ending is missing, there are some framerate statistics not included.

Do you also get this low framerate in the menu itself?

Can you try checking your startup programs that start with your computer, see if you can (temporarily) disable some, then restart the PC and run the game before anything else? Does that still give you the low FPS?
