Fps Drops to 30 while driving and sticks there without moving

[Lankbouv 6,347]

BEFORE this topic I will say I posted a topic on the Help Site a week ago and it wasn't approved, also I can't find any answers in other topics.

 

ANyway, this problem came since a routine Windows update.  

 

1) Does anyone know how to reverse a standard windows update?

2) Does anyone know how to fix this fps issue?

 

Previously I had 60 fps all the time.  Bear in mind I'm using the TO Client which has always been fine

 

Thx all

 

Extra Info:

 

Uninstalling two flash player updates seemed to make the problem better, but the problem resurfaced

More Info: has been observed happening directly after I re-enter fullscreen

Thx for suggestions, but I am an old hand when it comes to FPS issues, but none of those fixes are relevant I think, as this came as a result of an update

 

 

Considering uninstalling 1 or both of those flash player updates which I think were the ones that made the change.  But if I uninstall them will it return to a previous version or will it remove Flash player entirely?

No they were not the ones that made the changes, depending on what you said: "you tried to post a topic in the help site a week ago" And appearantly from the screenshot that those updates were installed only 3 days ago so they must not be the cause of the lag.

 

Try to open your task manager while running TO and do the following: Head out to the process tab and try to stop any unecessary processes while you monitor your FPS in the game this will save up some workload of your processor & free some space in the RAM.

 

Point is that you should consider that there are some programs in your PC that are working in background...

[Lankbouv 6,347]

Twas an exaggeration, it feels like a week lol. Anyway I installed one of those two, and the fps is permanently 60 now :|

[Lankbouv 6,347]

Ah well unfortunately I got the drop again, so might try uninstalling the other one

Also I can tell u there is 100% direct correlation, the update led to this.

Uninstalling the flash player will remove it entirely, so you won't be able to play through the TO client as it will ask you to (re-)install the flash player in order to play. Keep in mind that Google Chrome has built-in in flash player, so you don't need to have flash player installed on your system in order to play TO (but of course it's nice if you do have it installed). I used to have 60 FPS on TO client, but recently my FPS has dropped to 30-40 (only on client), so I had to switch to Google Chrome where my FPS is back to normal again - so yeah, maybe we have the same issue, who knows. For now try playing on a browser and tell us if your FPS improves.

It didnt ask me to re-install anything when I played on TO client.

[Toby 2,938]

That's because you didn't uninstall both flash player updates.

[Lankbouv 6,347]

I did, and what I said still applied

[Toby 2,938]

Both at the same time*, so that you don't have flash player installed.

 

Anyway, have you tried playing on a browser?

Yes it's better, thx, but I used to play on a browser, and it deteriorated in fps over time

Ditch Standalone Flash and just use Tanki client.

[legenddestroyer 824]

Lank, there is a way in the settings to go back to a certain update your computer made. I'm not positive where to find it, but i've done it before. lets say you updated your PC on November 1st, and then you updated again on December 1st. And this new update is causing fps drops. I beileve it's in the control panel, but it allows you to reset your PC back to the same features it had on November 1st and get rid of the December 1st upgrade ( this is an example) but that's how it work. will edit this post once I figure out how to do it again.

*edit ; Not sure if it will work for your PC but for mine it's under control panel, system and security, backup and restore. Press restore and select a date before the certain update that made you have fps drop and it will reverse the update.

Another solution is to do a recovery on your PC, it's like a refresh on a phone. It doesn't affect any of your files ect. But to do this you go under System and Security, Review your computer's status, then at the very bottom it should say recovery.

I had this strange drop in FPS aswell when I turned full screen on. This is exactly what triggered the massive amounts of fatal errors before they fixed them a few months ago. Since them I am finally able to play the game without getting disconnected literally every 15 seconds or so.

 

I use mouse controls all the time on the Standalone Flash Player. When you enable them the game will go into full screen automatically when you click on it. This solved my problems with a fixed FPS rate of around 40. It says it's 60 now.

 

However; after 10 minutes or so, the FPS starts to deteriorate even though the counter still says it's 60 FPS. I think the amount of jittering can be felt as something as 30 FPS. When I disable and enable mouse controls again it goes away for the same 10 minutes as before all of this.

 

----------

 

Anyway this has nothing to do with your RAM, GPU or CPU. I don't know the exact cause but It certainly has to do with the way Flash is handling the game on full settings. I don't get any lag in the client for example. I use the Standalone because mouse controls only work there.

The core problems to me seems to be that there's something wrong with the mouse control movement, full screen mode and the high graphics adjusting to full screen mode.

Still no solution guys.  I'm playing on the Chrome browser version, but the fps isn't solid 60 there, and it greatly affects my aiming in XP

 

One guy suggested turning adaptive fps on and off and it works some of the time but then it comes back later.

Try client or internet explorer in-private. No cache, no cookies, no lag.

You do realise the problem in the OP was playing in client.

[Spy 14,760]

Try changing your screen resolution, make it littler than usual, it may help. :)

Incognito then or use in-private of Internet Explorer. Edge is also good.

This makes some sense, but there's more to gain in the client settings.

Lank, have you tried to uncheck the auto-DPI scaling?

Maybe u PC is not for Windows 7 Try to Change to 10 or 8

I am fine with my laptop not supporting windows 7 but yet I am having 60 fps here.

 

When I use Bandicam to record, either using GPU or CPU, the FPS drops to 30 and stays there permanently until I switch recording off. Does not matter what I change in settings of Bandicam/Client/......./, it will remain there. 

 

You have 30 fps, I have 30 fps. We might suspect that our problems are from the same origin. I hope IT experts below will figure it out :)

I believe Bandicam is optimizing your FPS while recording; it chooses 30FPS as refresh rate where everything will still be smooth. You're putting more strain on the processor when recording. Other recording software like Fraps lock into an optimum FPS rate aswell. I might be wrong because I don't know your specs; the bottleneck might just as well be a HDD if you still got one in your system. That'd mean that the write rate is limiting your FPS rather than GPU or CPU.
