Might want to run the game in windowed mode and start Task Manager while your game is running " 27-30 FPS" and take a screenshot of the active Processes,Then take another screen while its running “7-10FPS” to compare.

Interesting idea. I’ll do a couple of tests later this evening.

Yeah that’s what I thought it may be also, but the fact that it suddenly Jumps back up to smooth gameplay for a couple of mins makes me think otherwise. It sounds much more like some kind of memory leak, not a bottleneck.

I should note I do have my M11X laptop on a Chill mat with 2 fans extra, so it doesn’t get hot that often.

I will however keep an eye on it next time I play, but still I don’t think it’s the case here.

If he let the Queen die, then the Charr and Humans would still be at war, and many more would die on either side. Just keep that in mind.

I’ve been having this issue since release.

I’ll start playing the game at a 27-30 FPS. After playing for a couple of minutes the fps wil slowly start going slower and slower, over a period of about 5 minutes, untill it reaches 7-10fps.

It will then stay there for about a minute or two, before suddenly jumping back up to 27/30. It’s ok again for a couple of mins, and then the process repeats again.

As you can imagine, this is very annoying, especially when in dungeons.

I have an Alienware M11X with core i5 and 8gig ram, and akaik I do have the latest drivers.

Hoping someone has some advice,
Thanks
