Heavy frame drops. Need help.
Posts: 71
My Name is Icestrike and I really love CoH2. For a few months now I have to deal with frame drops down to 2 FPS. No need to say - it makes the game rather unplayable.
First my PC-Data:
First things first: It's a Laptop (I know that's a problem)
HP
Intel core i7
Geforce GT 650M 2GB
8GB RAM (2 x 4)
Windows 8 64 bit
No idea about my Soundcard.
Unfortunately no Porschemotor for me
All my graphic-settings are low, V-Sinc off and physics off. In fact everything at low. Even the soundquality.
After running the FPS-Check I get results like: Max FPS: 40, Average FPS: 20, Lowest FPS: 2
And its the lowest FPS I am worried about.
I've tried turning of Anti-Vir realtime-scanner. I currently have recording replays at off. I do not run things like Fraps or other games or programms, that are unneccesary, in the background. I've been on forums, which offered solutions. None of that worked. I do not need 60 FPS as avarage. I just need like 10-15 FPS as lowest.
I got no solution at hand, Kameraden.
Uncle Icestrike wants you! for solving the problem

My specs are:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 2.60GHz
8GB RAM
But I play the game in 800*600 (100%) and I have turned replays off. Everything else is on low.
I'd say try to turn replays function off and check if this helps. It gave me a huge fps boost, maybe that will fix the minimum fps. How to turn off replays.
Are your drivers up to date? OpieOP
EDIT: I'm using a cooling pad, maybe that does the job

Ofc if you run it on ssd no care is needed in that regard.

To Stafkeh: I am not recording replays. I found the same side you gave the link for
Drivers are up to date as far as I know. So both things seem not to be the problem
To ferwiner: I am gonna try that one

Do you get reasonable FPS in the beginning? Do your frames drop after some time, say 10-15 minutes into the game?
Is there a way to fix that? Or make the fps drop less?

Yeah.. If this is happening then your laptop is overheating. Your CPU/GPU will start throttling after a certain temperature threshold to reduce the heat. If you get FPS drops after some time then monitor your GPU/CPU temperatures. You can use MSI Afterburner and Coretemp for this. If it's overheating then the best option would be to get it serviced or something. The most common culprit for overheating is excess dust, especially in laptops. Age also causes overheating.

To computerheat: I in fact already adjusted my power setting to optimize my Laptop for games. I think it might have something to do with computer-heat (forgive me that one)
To Khan and pigsoup: Actually FPS are fine early in the game. 10-15 minutes in the game delivers the problems. So it might be overheating. I'll try to fix that problem. Is there a way to fight overheating without getting my Laptop serviced?

Permanently Bannedset power management mode to 'prefer maximum perforamnce'
close it and see where you stand now.
A laptop always will be inferior for gaming, because it will overheat pretty quickly and thus creating a situation where the GPU and CPU will throttle down to ensure nothing will fry out. It might be an overheating problem as well!

To Sandreas and pigsoup: Gonna keep that in mind in case a normal cleaning won't help. Thanks for the advice.
To Squeaky Door 96: I changed the settings. Wow, it changed a lot. I got up to somewhere around 10 FPS as lowest. Thanks alot Squeaky Door 96 Awesome!
I am trying all you tips, though. For a game like CoH2 you have to fight on many fronts, just like ingame
