CoH2 - FPS

Posts: 4630 | Subs: 2
Yesterday I launched CoH again and it was fine.
But today I just finished a game which was unplayable for me from around 18min. FPS was terrible.
Is it me or CoH2? Why it happend so suddenly, I mean I was playing with quite nice FPS but then someday it dropped so hard.
i7 4270HQ 2,6

If it just suddenly drops in an instant, then I don't know. To me it usually starts out with 80-ish FPS and then drops to 40-25 depending on map, game length and player count.

I used to play on this laptop for over a year without any issues.
Not to mentions that I run plenty games on high details. It was for a year, now sucks - whole other games still work fine.
It's sudden drop. Everything is smooth and cool then suddenly I move cursor and it "sharp" move with like 50% less FPS and it remanis like this till the end of the game.

Nothing to do with playing on a laptop. I play on an i7 laptop with GTX 760M on medium-high settings and it runs better than on some PCs set to potato graphics. FPS are not that high but don't go lower than 30 except during off-map strikes like incendiary bombing etc.
That was issue with my older laptop (drop when off-maps).
I just wonder with someone noticed similar problem 2-3 months ago.

This game is a pile of unoptimized garbage. It all got worse with performance after WFA release.

if it started to happen recently, that is a mind boggler. i'd say sudden drop in performance is prob something on your side.

Yesterday I got drop again, but it lasted for like 20-30secs and came back to normal :/

if it is a sudden drop, it can be heat throttle
This is what I'd be leaning towards. Might be worth checking whether you have a dust buildup in the fan system. A good blast of compressed air might help.
Also, I'd have Process Explorer running in the background. It will help you determine whether something is suddenly bottlenecking, and covers more hardware than Task Manager (such as aforementioned VRAM).

Thanks, I'll check this Explorer.
As for dust, not a chance. I opened laptop like 2 months ago and used compressed air to clean it a bit inside.

Ok. Laptop cooling can still be a bit tricky though, so maybe also grab RealTemp to see how your CPU temperature goes. I'd also be curious about GPU temp. I guess at this point, the more things you can rule out, the better

Obviously a second monitor would make this stuff a lot easier to check while you game.

I've played on an i7 + 950M gaming laptop before, but CPU temps hover around the mid 60s and GPU high 50s when I have a laptop cooler running. Getting an external laptop cooler may solve your problem.
