sudden fps crash

[indigo cloud]

So you mean it all the sudden starts to lag by "fps crash" ?

[meager sundial]

Do you have any mods enabled?

[wet quarry]

yes it goes from 90 fps to 0 real quick and slowly increase rinse and repeat

[wet quarry]

i have but it never affects my fps before

[tawny musk]

Does the issue persist with all mods disabled?

[meager sundial]

Have you tried it without mods though?

If not, try it without mods.

Mods update all of the time virtually everyday, so just because it worked before, does not mean it will work tomorrow, and if you are running mods, the TIS team cannot check the issue as your game is going to be a different version.

Try it without mods, then see if you are losing FPS, if you are not, then it is the mods, if you are still losing FPS though, then yes, by all means, it is another issue.

[wet quarry]

Ok ill try without mods and send a result asap

[meager sundial]

[wet quarry]

yep no mods and i still suffer constant fps drop

[wet quarry]

yes

[tawny musk]

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

[wet quarry]

what file in logs

[tawny musk]

There seems nothing wrong with the logs, can you record a video of the FPS issue perhaps?

[wet quarry]

ok be back in a sec

[wet quarry]

here u go

it decrease from 90 fps to 30 up and down in repeat

heres an mp4 sry

and it would suddenly drops to 0

[tawny musk]

Could you switch the game to Windowed mode and open your Task Manager while moving around?

Check your CPU and Graphics usage

[wet quarry]

Will do

[meager sundial]

Are you Nvidia or AMD?
Drivers all up to date yeah?

And your PC meets the requirements to run?

[wet quarry]

here u go

[wet quarry]

nvidia geforce gt 640

yes drivers are all updated

[tawny musk]

Well, your CPU does seem to be maxing out as far as I can tell

Did you try lowering your resolution and turning off any background programs?

[wet quarry]

only zomboid obs are running i tried returning to 1280x720 but the problem still persist

[tawny musk]

Well, can you check your system tray? It is unlikely those are the only two running

[meager sundial]

Minimum is 660

The 6600 series

What CPU are you running?

[wet quarry]

only zomboid and obs

[wet quarry]

intel core i3 4170

[tawny musk]

Can you screenshot the tray? Just to confirm

[wet quarry]

this is system tray right?

[meager sundial]

You are running a 4th Gen Intel CPU, current ones are 13th Gen.

There is no surprise why your CUP is maxing out, it just cannot handle the game, your CPU is 8 years old.

I would bet most of the issues you are having is due to your hardware.

Your GPU does not meet the minimum requirements of the game either

I would highly recommend in investing in some new hardware.

Otherwise as Beard is saying, turning everything off pretty much
