Hello,

This issue happened since the new update.
Although I get more frames I get these annoying fps drops / freezes.
It acutally stopped happening for a few days then started again.

Its really fustrating as I play this game alot.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Update to the newest driver if you haven't already. If that doesn't fix it and you have textures set to "high" put them on medium, as it's one of the only games I've played that exceeds 4gb of VRAM.
 
i'm playing with a i5 2400 + 1050ti just fine on high, so i don't think that's the problem :eek:

RAM: if it's 4 GB, that's expected, u'll need to get a 8GB instead
Driver: make sure u're running the latest one available for your GPU
Settings: tweak some out while watching the VRAM usage (high is still possible for a GPU with 4 GB VRAM)
Space: if ur HDD is almost full, free some space, might help easing up the system :)

for more info, try to use apps like MSI Afterburner + Rivatuner to check for your hardware usage during gameplay :) we might be able to help u instead of speculating if u provided the extra info (that + ur whole system spec)

In the settings menu under the grahpics option, the amount of video memory used is more then my gpu.

how's the background process on your system (u open up anything else other than the game when u play? try to close those down) and kill all the unnecessary background apps :)

So turn down settings like textures and whatnot so it goes below. Your card has 3.5gb FYI
 


well if the usage is already over the available VRAM, u gotta turn things down (not necessarily the texture, but it is the biggest variable there) if it's only over about 100-200 u might get away with lowering the shadow / other things instead
