Hello All,

I have tried to get back into this game to give it another try since I didn't have time for it when it came out a few years ago and I am experiencing frame dips from 60 to low 40's when playing, specifically inside buildings and towns. I get a solid 60fps (i have it capped to this because I actually get more) with most settings on high or ultra and playing on 1440p. I thought it was my settings at first so I lowered every single setting to low or off and it didn't help at all, even tried lowering the resolution and still nothing helps. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help here as I'm trying to enjoy this game but it's not letting me with these frame drops.

Here's my specs:

CPU: Intel i7 7700
GPU: GTX 1070 Ti
RAM: 16GB

Hello gencoupe13,

Have you taken a look at your temperatures via hwinfo64 and looked at temps for the GPU and CPU?

Also, try re-rolling back to an older GPU driver and see if that makes a difference.

Check the RAM% and CPU % in task manager and let me know the usage during gameplay.
