I bought dying light 2 on launch and could not play it due to technical issues with my rig. Its been about a year and I booted it up to see if it would work and it still has the same issue it had a year ago.
My issue is this. I am playing the game for 30 minutes with no issue. Smooth 60 fps on High settings with no problem. After around 30 minutes, the game tanks to like 20 fps, until I restart the game or change in game settings to force a restart. Its really annoying, and this does not happen on any other games I play (cyberpunk, hitman, RE4 remake, dead island 2, etc.)
Ive all but given up. I have deleted temp files, verified game cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the game on 2 different drives, updated my pc, drivers, turned off all overlays, and have also tried lowering graphic settings to no avail. At the lowest setting possible, after 30 minutes my fps still drops.
Im on an alienware aurora R12, RTX3080, with 32 gb of ram. I have an I9 processor.
I have tried also turning off raytracing and it did nothing either.
