i’ve more recently been having my fps drop from 120 down to 10-20, causing the audio to stutter really bad. there is no indication that anything on my pc is running that would cause this, and i’m inclined to believe it’s a game issue because i can fix it during a song by pausing and unpausing. doesn’t matter how long i’ve been paused for, either, it just instantly fixes it. i wish i had more info to give, but it doesn’t even happen consistently. there’ll be times that i’ll play for 2 hours perfectly fine, other times (like just now) i’ll have it happen in a song, then not even 10 minutes later have it happen in the menu.

What hardware are you on, and what OS are you running? Sounds like Windows doing something stupid.

i am running windows 11, ryzen 5 1600AF, 2060 super, 16gb ram

Hmm

#

Try disconnect from the net and playing withtout it.

#

If Win11 is sending up telemetry, that could be an issue.

#

afaik i disabled as much of that as i could, but i’ll try it

#

i’ll report back if it happens again, but its been so inconsistent that it could be a while

Hmm

#

Did you install any of your files in something that sync'd to onedrive?

#

i used a local account with this computer

#

You have to go out of your way to not put it in a one-driver folder, and you can't turn the synch off becuas "hurr durr I'm Microshaft fuck your settings"

yarg is installed on a second ssd

#

I don't think that'd matter unless your mobo is ancient, and with that CPU, I don't think it's that old.

radiant pendant Jul 31, 2025, 3:42 AM

#

i dont even have a microsoft account signed in on this computer

#

its not that old, maybe 3 years now

#

Random drops like that sounds like Win11 trying to do something in the background. My guess is updates or trying to send all of your info to Microshaft so they can sell it, but if you're on a local account, then IDK

#

i just genuinely am lost, because it didn’t happen for the first time until maybe a month ago

#

nothing changed between then and now

#

there’s actually less stuff running in the background now, cause i initially thought oculus might’ve been doing something and stopped that process from running at startup

#

but it’s happened again since i did that a week ago

#

hmmm

#

Weird.

Despite being mainly for measuring GPU performance, tools like presentmon can be helpful for figuring out what's bottlenecking..

radiant pendant Jul 31, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

thats the thing, i dont think its a bottleneck because it runs fine the majority of the time

spiral panther Jul 31, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

Are you mobo and GPU drivers up-to-date?

radiant pendant Jul 31, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

idk about motherboard, but my gpu is currently on nvidia driver 572.83

#

which is from 4 months ago

#

im updating that now

radiant pendant thats the thing, i dont think its a bottleneck because it runs fine the majority...

i mean, it clearly is, just not always, lol..like it could be that your CPU (or GPU) gets hot and throttles itself and then cools off some and starts working better (to pick one obvious example that probably isn't actually the issue)

#

it could be, but the thing is when it has happened during gameplay, even if i accidentally immediately unpause after pausing, that fixes the issue
