Reviving a 2 year old thread here but, hey, it's 2021 and new solutions might apply
Since at least 2 weeks ago I've been having issues with FPS stability only while playing COH2. I didn't have this problem ever.
Took a look at task manager and saw memory usage all the way up to 80-90%. Overall temperature was hot, not too much. Either way, this morning, opened up my desktop and did the maintenance. Applied a new layer of thermal paste, vacuumed, did a complete system reset and windows install and installed all the drivers. This didn't fix it.
Played a 4v4 today on lowest settings to test it and around 30min mark the issues returned. I played the whole 1h25min of the match (and lose, lol) without crashes. The game does freeze for 10-15secs during high activity but never crashed so I know it's my system acting up.
I did some research and learned this game uses a lot of RAM but I know for a fact that my system did not use all 8GB of my RAM before. I only have my browser open on YT playing music during my gaming sessions, like I always used to be able to do. Didn't even dare to stream with OBS.
System Specs are:
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor 3.5 GHz
GPU: Radeon RX 570 Series
RAM: 8GB HYPERX
I used to be able to play COH2 with medium/high settings while playing music in YT, keep a call going in discord and stream simultaneously.
I'm sorry if my post lacks more technical information such as benchmark tests and accurate FPS measurements. Shoot me the software to run those and I'll be happy to update
Looking for assistance here, really wish I could go back to "normal".
Thanks in advance!
