I started playing mass effect 1 (couple of years late, I know) and I am getting mad fps drops to like 7-10 fps. Its working for about 2 or 3 minutes at around 20 fps when i start to play (800/600 low settings) and drops everytime I start fighting or look at the galaxy map. The fps then always stays below 10, no matter what I do. Often happens that it doesnt want to load the next level, it just says loading forever. Then I restart my computer and it loads 1, maybe 2 levels (like landing on different planets or exiting a building), and then again stops to load.

my specs: amd athlon 64 3500+ (2200mhz), geforce 8800 gts 384mb, 1.5gb ddr 400 ram, WD 500 GB.
I have absolutely NO spyware or any other malware on my computer. I have 22 procceses running while playing the game, all esseintal to OS, like drivers and stuff. I updated my graphics card drivers and it still doesnt help. Or is it just the computer is to bad for this game? highly unlikely, since crysis works fine on medium settings 1280/1024.

tnx for any help.

Try defragging and clossing down all un-necersary programs. Disconnect from internet and shut down anti-virus.



If not it might be a memory leak issue.



ALSO: Try patching the game to 1.02 if you havent already :P



Hope i helped :)

I have the same issue with ME1, i get about 10FPS tops during the opening scene.

I patched it manually to 1.02 but im not sure how to check the current version.

It was bought through steam so it should be updated by default.



Is it possible to check if its a memory leak?

What OS you running seb? I"m asking because 1.5GB on Vista and 7 would be bearish for you. XP may get away with it. Let's check this-- when fps slows down is your hard drive thrashing when it happens?

I've got something similar on both mass effect 1 and dragon age. I play for about an hour, and then the fps drops like a rock and the game becomes unplayable.

Rgr that-- back to my second question. When fps slows down is your hard drive thrashing when it happens?
