Hello, I would like to comment an issue I'm having. After several troubleshootings, I'm running out of answers and maybe someone here can help me.
I have a decent desktop pc (AMD Ryzen 5, GTX 1050, 8gbs RAM) with Windows 10. It works pretty well, and it can handle modern games with no issue. As a matter of fact, I've just played with FIFA 18 with no issues at all.
This problem started a few days ago. There is an old game (FIFA Manager) I'm playing which was working correctly on windows 10. A few days ago, out from nowhere (or at least, I didn´t installed anything), the game started to drop fps after some minutes of use. If I closed and start the game, it would run fine for another 10 minutes. With the days passing by, the problem started to increase, and now even in the beginning the game is performing really bad. For example, loading an old save game took me 30secs a few days ago. Now, it takes 3 to 5 minutes to load the same game (and after that, the game is almost unplayable because how slow it is).
As I've said before, a few hints and things I've tried:
- An uninstall and reinstall of the game does nothing.
- It's not a temperature / dust issue on the GPU. I've tried modern games and they work perfectly. But just to be sure, I've checked both things and no issue found there.
- GPU's drivers are updated, Windows 10 it's also updated. A scannow gives no errors.
- I've tried to run the game with different compatibily modes (or even without). No results.
- It's a game that runs directx 9. I've heard that disabling full screen optimization or playing it in windows mode could help. Nothing.
- I'm not seeing anything weird on the taskbar, no unknown process, etc. (just to be sure, I've scanned it for virus / malware and nothing, it's a relatively new pc and I didn´t messed around too much).
- I've disabled Game Bar, Game DVR, xBox mode or the Geforce Experience (I even uninstalled this).
- I've tried to make some custom configurations for the game in the GPU's option page (disabling vsync, antialiasing, etc).
- I've tried to raise the .exe priority in the task bar with no good results. I've also tried to use only one processor via affinity.
- I've uninstalled any software or driver that I've installed after the issue started.
I'm running out of ideas about what can be done to fix the issue. Since it seems to be isolated to this specific game (no new patches, no info from EA Sports, etc) I'm just having to try and fail until I hit the nail. As I've said, the game did indeed work perfectly with Windows 10 until a few days ago. Now it's unplayable. The rest of the time the pc works great, and I can player newer games with no issues at all. I'm lost at what can be creating problems.
Thanks for reading!
