FPS Drops Suddenly

Postby Tchkinjiu » Tue Dec 25, 2007 3:20 pm

Ello all; well heres the issue.  The game will start fine, start up a mission and get going just dandy.  About 5 minutes (more or less) into the flight, the frames will drop from 25, which I have it set to, to around 8.  After expecting the weird hiccup to fix itself, it drops down to 2-3 and back and forth between that and 8 fps.

Any suggestions as to what causes this?  Only way I can fix it, which only lasts for a couple minutes, is to minimize it and bring it back up (after several tries).  It goes back up to 25 and then just repeats the problem again.  Any help to get me flying again?

It could be linked to the memory consumption (meaning your computer might not have enough RAM), but it also looks like hardware overheating.

In my case, when my videocard starts overheating, the FPS drop, the AntiAliasing switches OFF et shortly after, the computer reboots :/
