Dark5eiD Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi all i am using an alienware m15x laptop. i have never had a problem running warframe. bus is 1333 8 gb ram, ssd and gtx 260m vide card ( also internet speed is 12Mbs dwn 2.5Mbs up. i know this is not top of the line by any means, but like i said i have not had a problem playing the game for the past year. about 2 weeks ago after a hot fix update i noticed my fps in the menus was ruffly a third of what it normally was. i did not change anything, im just wondering if anybody noticed this as well. atm i am unable to play as my fps is at snails pace. i have tried everything most recently formatted install clean you name it. it got better but im still ridiculously lower fps. has anybody else noticed this or is it just my pc? thanks for your help sincerely warframeless man ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryp2Nite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 or is it just my pc? PC =/= Laptop, really :p Are you sure you're running Warframe with the 260M and not with a integrated graphics card? That could happen after a graphics/chipset driver update. Are you using the latest drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark5eiD Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 i have updated my chipset driver as i just formatted the machine. but in device manager it shows gtx 260m. if i click to upgrade driver it says newest driver is installed. i have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. i take it you have not noticed an fps drop at all in the last couple weeks?

botbot123321 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ever since U13 I had lower fps but not really low. Try defrag gin download cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryp2Nite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Take the latest Gforce drivers here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers Device manager only verify the drivers via the windows update site, they are usually not the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaVrataski Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 i also got fps spike lately, sometimes randomly crashing. I bought an entirely new pc for this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtRobby Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 For me there is a setting involving the rendering. if you are getting bad fps, first I would mess a bit with the advanced settings. Also, locate your warframe exe and after installing the latest nvidia drivers/software, right click on the warframe exe and make sure it is set to launch with the video card instead of the integrated one. This is a common issue I have seen with steam games and nvidia cards. Also, Another problem I have found, is with any AMD hardware at all. Sometimes on reboot you just plain get crappy performance in anything you play. My build has a AMD PhenomII x6 in it right now and sometimes it takes a few restarts to make it actually kick in. Just my experiences, Thought I would share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice when people "buy a new gaming pc" it isn't always what its cracked up to be unless you build it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admat Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This happened to me last couple of updates and has affected my laptop as well. When the window that checks for updates is finished and before pressing the button to play the game. Click on the gear symbol and remove the checks out of the boxes "Direct X 11", "64bit Mode" and "Multi-Threaded Rendering". I cannot be directly credited for this as I read it somewhere else but it has reduced stuttering and and lag in general. As always be cautious of what you do because I am not certain of any drawbacks that may happen to your game. Seems harmless to me however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
