FPS drop after playing for a while? | mastercomfig | Page 1

My frames eventually drop from constant 144 to 120ish. Doesn't matter the map or playercount. Using custom High preset.

#

And have tried all presets

#

huh, could be stand by list

#

never had a problem with it, but sounds like it

bleak hedge Oct 24, 2022, 2:28 PM

#

Would that effect only tf2?

runic sapphire Oct 24, 2022, 3:08 PM

#

Not sure, not using standby list cleaner

#

@runic sapphire has leveled up! (6 ➜ 7)

runic sapphire Oct 24, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

Based

#

But i heard it helps if you have below 8gig ram

bleak hedge Oct 24, 2022, 3:13 PM

#

I have 16gb ram

bleak hedge Oct 24, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

I looked into standby list and it doesn't seem to be that

What makes you think memory leak specifically? This is just frames dropping by what I'm reading
Do you observe unnaturally high and perhaps climbing memory usage by hl2.exe?

You mean like this

#

example

#

this is like leak looks like

bleak hedge Oct 29, 2022, 6:13 PM

#

Doesn't look like that, wasn't sure what else to call it

#

The performance will drop after a few games sometimes

#

Maybe something with the particle table?

bleak hedge Maybe something with the particle table?

particle table is server only

#

and they disappear after time

bleak hedge Oct 29, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

No clue then, it happens regardless of map or playercount

#

It's just like the game decides to shave 20fps off

#

And it's always 20fps

#

The only fix for it so far is closing and opening tf2 again

#

Maybe it's a problem with my lan server?

runic sapphire Oct 29, 2022, 8:08 PM

#

Idk, see msi afterburner numbers on cpu

#

Is the usage higher, or temperature, something in your system works slower in game after time

#

And it would be more noticeable if you had cap

#

To see if cpu usage on 1 core goes higher or is clock goes lower.

bleak hedge Oct 29, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

Temps and usage are the same

#

If i had cap?

bleak hedge Oct 29, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

i checked ram usage, gpu usage, and cpu usage + temps for all of the above, its not those

#

apparently reconnecting fixes it too

#

maybe dxvk?

bleak hedge Oct 30, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

happens regardless of dxvk

#

now i just reconnect with retry command and that fixes it

bleak hedge Nov 4, 2022, 2:56 AM

#

now retry command doesnt help

#

fun times

#

tried all presets and same problem

#

and its not dxvk

bleak hedge Nov 4, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

it looks like disabling texture stream makes these drops more frequent

#

and apply_overrides will always create this drop until reconnect

runic sapphire Nov 4, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

You could try clean up the game if it's a major problem, then reinstall masterconfig to see if the problem is gone.

#

Other than that, it could be the hardware and not TF2.

bleak hedge Nov 4, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

its only on tf2 though

#

i did a clean up and its still here

bleak hedge Nov 4, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

it has something to do with dxvk, looks like

#

its a trade off, because dxvk is giving me 30+ extra fps

#

so its either be under my target fps or get these drops

#

oh well

runic sapphire Nov 4, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

maybe your tf2 uses core 0, and after some time it just gets used more?

#

would be useful to see how much ram is used in the beginning and the end

#

by tf2

bleak hedge Nov 4, 2022, 8:55 PM

#

The ram usage for my pc caps at around 5.6gb, according to task manager

#

Being a 32bit game, tf2 only uses 4gb, right?

runic sapphire Nov 5, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

it could be also gfx files of the game

#

that's supposed to be in Vram, but the engine is too old

#

to handle them

#

or even use gpu to the max
