As mentioned, I couldn't trace back the exact date it started because I hadn't hit it with the workload concerned (gaming) in a while.

My above description is making me think that this is some kind of scheduling issue with windows or a (graphics) driver problem. FPS momentarily (1 minute every few minutes) drop to an unplayable fraction of the norm Haven't done a Windows rollback because those are a pain in the a**. Prime 95, Furmark and both at the same time): Doesn't happen during it. Xperf (no new intelligence, might just be too inexperienced with it to retrieve it though) Changed power plans (drops occur on both balanced and high performance, maybe a little more often on the latter, not sure)

Reinstalled all drivers, installed all seemingly useless ones from Dell and the accompanying software on top Safe mode DDU and graphics driver reinstall Generally the frequency of events seems to be higher after the first occurrence which would point towards thermals, but I have already ruled those out as the root cause. It happens in every game from Portal to Need For Speed with different levels of intensity, all of which being very noticeable. The problem first occurs after ~5 minutes, then it repeats every 2. Video and audio encoding for Parsec et cetera don't seem to be impacted. Here it seems to happen in two steps, with the intermediate one being 10 fps for 10 seconds on both start and end of the drop. Assassin's Creed Unity/Syndicate: FPS drop from 60+ to 3, if someone is connected via Parsec and Discord, they can see it too. Rocket League: FPS drop from 250 to 5, Happens after 20 minutes.

It occurs for the first time after ~10 minutes. Minecraft Server (3 Clients) & Client running on Laptop: FPS drop from 200-2000 to 50, participants notice no server lag or audio buffer crackling in voice chat. As I only ever play on AC, I cant speak for battery mode in terms of whether it occurs there. Interestingly, the system remains perfectly responsive, no audio crackling et cetera occurs. Meanwhile the GPU Utilization doesn't seem to change. When looking at the task manager, I can see the game's CPU utilization drop from a normal value (24-75%) to <=8% (coincidentally that is 1 thread). For about 1 1/2 months I've had this problem (can't tell exactly when since I haven't been gaming lately) where, in every single game I play and every 2-5 minutes, my FPS will be drastically lower (3) for a minute, then come back up.ĭuring this my temps are fine (seen it happen at 70-80☌ CPU and 70☌ GPU) and the clocks stay at max turbo. This can improve slightly/significantly mouse movement and performance.G5 15 5590 laptop here.

So the lower the resolution the higher performance.Ħ) Disable Full screen optimization for "AoKHD.exe" in the compatibility tab. A resolution of 1680x1080/1680x1200 performs way better than 1920x1080/1920x2000 and the difference is not that big tbh.

Only turn on windows update when there is a new update or at least once a month.ĥ) Decrease Desktop Resolution. I have had a great experience with those as any paid security suite is guaranteed to be top notch performance.Ĥ) Disable Windows Defender/Update. Or if you can afford buying an a security suite, I would recommend Kaspersky/Panda Internet Security. If you would like to use a good free antivirus I would only recommend Comodo Internet Security. Those are the most CPU hogs you can ever find besides that they include an adware. Once you are done playing turn UAC back on.ģ) Uninstall CPU hog Antivirus: I do not recommend using Avast/AVG family antivirus.

I myself would not disable UAC so be very very careful not to do something stupid like downloading a file from the internet/torrent or running an unknown program as that might be a malware. But i would still recommend to restart your computer anyway).

Rename it from 'New Text Document.txt' to 'xmusic1.mp3' (game will crash if there's no xmusic1.mp3 in the music folder, unlike non-HD AoE2).” That's itĢ) Disable UAC (Risky): only when you want to play the game (disabling UAC may require a restart for windows 7 users. 1) Disable background music (suggested by Ariota and originally the idea of Devang):Ī) Go to - 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\sound\music'ī) Create a new folder called 'Backup' (or anything you want).Ĭ) Move all the music files to this folder.ĭ) Create a new text document.
