[SA:MP Issue] FPS Locks down on low numbers for several minutes

[AK47]

Check your PM. Sent you a solution regarding FPS but can not share it here.

Honestly? Because it's a pirated crack, merry cringemass :p

Not really, but because it's an advantage over other players mod and maybe that can solve his FPS problem. Nothing to do with piracy here

EDIT: The strange part is that it can happen randomly, flying, driving, walking, standing still, there doesn't seem to be any cause of it, I've had it while I was flying above the sea alone, and I've had it in the middle of Pershing, it seems to lock down the FPS between 2-3 numbers (I.E 11-12-13) and doesn't go above or below it, and then suddenly it releases its lock, and continues like normal.

If it is occurring randomly then there is a possibility of some services that are consuming your memory. Try monitoring Resource Monitor when it occurs.

Issue still occuring, stats usage when it occurs

Personally, I'd try this:

1) Using win7 over 8/10. This should eliminate OS version faults.

2) If #1 isn't realistic, try loading up a VM with 7 and clean install. This should help eliminate hardware faults and OS faults.

3) Of course move to different drivers (I know you said you do weekly, but BETA drivers or OLDER drivers may provide more stability, as opposed to CURRENT drivers), eliminating drivers as being buggy.

4) And, running the game in Windowed mode (from Alt-Enter). This should point towards DirectDraw or similiar kind of culprit.

Chances are its a DX12 issue, my understanding is that the game is a direct console port and is terribly optimized from a coding standpoint for PC. San Andreas was a DirectX9 game, so you can always try 9, 10 or DX11 without having to (usually) overhaul the entire system.

Of course, I haven't tried running older DX's on a newer system, so it may not even be possible. Just offering some insight on how it sounds that no one has suggested.

Run Display Driver Uninstaller (https://www.wagnardsoft.com/)

Try installing an older driver for the card and see if it makes a difference as Vaeldious said.

I think this issue has been resolved, not sure what the culprit was but it's working alright now.
