[Error] RO2/RS FPS Degrading Issue

[Bwamo]

Previously, I used to run RO2/RS at 50-60 fps no problem, but now it seems after a few minutes of playing, my game's FPS will lower to around 20-30...

I did more research into and found out that having the game alt-tabbed/tabbed out seems to make it run faster, and tabbing back it put's it back to it's original 20-30 FPS state.

Specs:
OS: Win 7
GPU: Geforce GTX 765m 2GB VRAM
CPU: Intel Core i7 4700MQ @ 2.40 GHz
RAM: 16 GB

You sure it isnt overheating? (dust free, graphics card fan runs well?). Another thought, try a system rollback, if this change accurred after a recent system update or other event.

It isn't overheating...

Like I said, I noticed something quite odd with the game while it's alt-tabbed/windowed.
If I don't have the window selected, the game itself runs at 62 fps, but as soon as I tab back in, the fps goes back to 15-20.

I've changed my settings both in the Nvidia Control Panel and in-game many times, yet I've found no solution.

All this graphics stuff is way above my knowledge level, but i THINK that what you are talking about is "normal" for this game/graphics engine/OS etc, see, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlik...5_why_do_some_video_games_alttab_quickly_and/

The problem is, I get the "Lost Devices" effect mentioned in the Reddit post, but it is the complete opposite; when I alt-tab, the game runs faster, but when I tab back in, it goes back to it's slow speed.

[url]http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/107028/is-there-a-difference-between-running-games-in-windowed-or-fullscreen-mode[/URL] does this somewhat answer your question?

It does not answer my question. You seem to have lost track of the main topic here.
After running the game for a short-while, I get the same effect as if the "device was lost" or if I alt-tabbed out of the game.

When I do alt-tab out of the game(or clicking out of the window) after the lag takes effect, the FPS seems to return to the standard 62 FPS. Tabbing back in(or selecting the window again) causes the FPS to stay at around 20-30 FPS.

Good luck, then.

I think your attitude scared away anyone who might have helped you....
