#Walk causes FPS drops

Right now i'm playing a game, ok? Everything works well, FPS is about 102.

By the time my character starts moving, sprinting or running, the fps goes all the way down about 10-15.

When they stop walking, FPS go back to 100-200.

Why does this keep happening? I was told it could be fixed by restarting the laptop, and so i did, but nothing.

Any mods enabled perhaps? Does it happen without them?

# gleaming pumice Any mods enabled perhaps? Does it happen without them?

I have same problems even without mods, lower versions etc. Game can even die in main menu, mostly when i trying to change the settings. Even changing everything on low-spec doesn't help.

FPS drops are unfrequented and it doesn't matter in which place/situation.

In the menu, it feels like the game is choking on the sheer number of variables I'm entering. The problem is, I don't change many options, and sometimes I don't even have time to change anything after entering the settings.

This is very weird for me, because I had already played over 100 hours before problem.

# gleaming pumice If it happens without any mods, can you share your logs.zip file found in %UserP...

I'm not sure if that will be the right logs, cause i was swapping versions yesterday to check if older ver. would perform better, and i was clearing whole PZ folders.

But i can try to force the fresher settings-crash on current (new) version, or try to log in-game problems.

I had two more suspicions:

  1. Incorrectly assigned RAM (it's probably not that)
  2. Discord's influence on the game (same it's not that probably, but i feel that i had to put him there :D)

Can you try doing a full reinstall?
First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.
After that, go to “%UserProfile%\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.
Then just install the game again and see if that helps.

More ram does not mean more performance

It just means more headroom in cases of running out of RAM, which decreases performance

i've done that when i tried to repair it in past

yesterday i cleared and installed the new update to check playability

  • folder in night: gameplay was ok, kinda smooth etc. like without problems
  • folder 'fresh' contains actually crash after loading screen (i mean game loaded and turned off. i did not even press continue). In that moment i was streaming on Discord. Without of that, i would probably be able to play it but im not sure

I will back soon to PC, i will do full clear step by step with ur guides, then i will try to give you more official states and logs

@west hazel hope it's not a problem if i pinned there? :p I can move thread to more personal section. I was hoping that something might be helpful here

@woven ivy @west hazel did any of you figure it out how to fix it? I have the same issue when it drops to 20 fps when I'm moving
