very unreasonable fps on West Coast, USA

Hello!

So I have this weird issue, after playing on west coast map for couple of minutes, fps suddenly drops below 10, and stays there after changing graphics settings, and resetting everything. I have this issue only on West Coast. not on other maps, not even on the Italy, which I believe is much bigger and has more resources.
PC specs: I5 4690K
GTX 770 Classiffied 4GB
8GB ddr3 1600mhz (corsair Vengeance)

P.S game is running on SSD.

screenshots are taken with same settings, same settings.

 

It looks like that your GPU is responsible as there is such high GPU delay.

So if you let car be in place for few minutes, FPS is ok at first and then after few minutes goes to 10 or so?

What your GPU temps show during that time?

 

Yep. once i spawn in and drive around for a bit its fine. then its starts lagging like crazy.

Temps were the first things that i checked, cpu wont get above 60 degrees, and gpu stays around 65-70 even though its OC'd, and 70 degrees for 7 series card is pretty normal. So temps dont have to do anything with it.
i also have tried using older drivers, still same.

 

Does it happen if you launch game in safe mode?

 

Just tried it, yes it does

 

Do you have any game controllers or steering wheel plugged in, does it happen when those are not plugged in?

Issue you are having is rather odd, so need to chart all kinda of possibilities to find out what it even could possible be.

 

I very rarely use xbox 360 controller, and if I'm not using it its always disconnected. it happens all the time, doesn't matter which controller i'm using

 

Hmm, when you press ~ key you should see console, is there lot of errors coming there when you get under 10fps?

Also does less than 10fps happen on certain area of the map, is there are where it does not happen or is is constantly happening?

Does it happen if you keep ssao and dynamic reflections off or with lower graphics settings? Thinking if something is bugging out more than hardware performance as with your hardware under 10fps just should not happen, should be impossible.

If nothing of that has any effect, then I think that @Nadeox1 need to ask support ID from you so he could see from the logs if there is something that would point out what is causing this issue to happen.

 

I don't get any errors when it happens, and no its not just a certain area, its all of the map, and yes I have tried fiddling with settings, turning everything down to the lowest possible, fps only gets above 30 when its down to 800x600 on lowest settings. I will reinstall windows this afternoon, and will launch the game in offline so repository wont download anything. If that doesn't do anything, there is something wrong with the game

 

Quite strange because I run smooth 40-50 FPS on WCUSA and around 25-40 FPS on Italy with MSI GT1030 and Intel Core I3-2100 with 4Gb RAM. I hope you find a solution, because it`s quite weird and interesting at the same time.

 

This explains how to do clean reinstall, so that everything is cleared, just reinstalling might not help with the issue, if it is in files that are in documents folder.

It certainly should run better with your hardware, not really sure what causes that as have not heard anyone else experiencing same kind of issue.

 

Check if your PSU cooling is up to snuff. It may be causing your issues.

Also, you may be getting dirty power or something like that.

 

How? I had a computer just like that, and it couldn't run any of those maps

 

Double strange, man

 

I know right? im more interested of what's causing it lol

Power Supply is new, and its 80+ rated evga supernova 750 G3, so its the most unlike thing to go wrong. Pc itself is 100% free of dust, i always clean it, even little dust participles drive me crazy lol. cooling is not an issue here i think

I will reinstall windows just in case as soon as I finish work stuff.( small 3D models, should be done pretty soon)

I will keep you guys updated

So I did some investigation. and turns out app called ''wallpaper engine'' was causing it. its a pretty cool software which allows you to change wallpaper to animated stuff, interactive wallpapers, music vizualiser and etc. I had bmw e46 wallpaper which was flashing high beams, low beams, and fog lights to music. now with that gone, or even paused everything works perfectly...
still no idea how that little harmful thingie messed up beamng

 

Interesting, it is bit odd that it started messing only after some time and only on one map, but seems to be that anything is possible. Great that you found a solution to issue though!
