Hello

I have been playing ME2 now for a good 20 hours or so. During that time I have tweaked like crazy. First I solved a frequent crash problem, a graphics bug that "underclocked" my graphics card, I also managed to get the sli working on my 295 gtx with the latest 196,34 beta drivers and the EVGA sli-patch.

However there is one issue that I cannot fix. Normaly I have a solid 60 fps on my high-end gaming rigg, but during certain conversations/areas the fps drops to a weak 20. The engineering bay being a good exampe. Standing near the male and female engineers drops my frames. Another good example is at the krogan homeworld, standing near the enormous Jeep-thing next to the mechanic yelds great fps-losses aswell. This also occurs randomly during conversations with companions or comfrontations with NPC. The fps drop is especially bothersome during conversations with The Illisuve man, my fps drops around 10 fps which makes every encounter with him a real pain.

This is not a sound related problem which many players seems to encounter. The audio is bang on, more so than the graphics. It is not a permanent fps drop, just momenteraly and requires no restart or reboot. After a couple of seconds, or a scene change, the game pops up to 60 fps again.

I am not forcing AA, and I haven't messed around too much with the config.

I've added these lines:

triliniear=True
MinShadowResolution=512
MaxShadowResolution=1024

These are my system speccs:

295 gtx at standard speeds, I increase the fan speed to reduce the heat.

intel i7 920 (1366 chipset) @ 3.6 ghz, The overclock is stabile Haven't had a crash since I started using the overclock 2 months ago.

GA-EX58-UD5, Gigabyte motherboard.

6gb 1600 mhz corsair dominator.

Intel ssd x58 g1 80 gb, ME2 is installed on this harddrive.

DirectX are up to date, graphics drivers, Bios well practically everything is up to date


This issue dose not make my game unplaybale, but It would certanly not hurt the experience to get rid of it.
Any help is much apreciated, even a confirmation that I'm not the only one havning these problems wold put me at ease!

I have a similar problem, and almost the same set-up, except a i7-950 and radeon 5870.

If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, there is probably no solution for your problem yet.



The later Nvidia drivers are known to malfunction in combination with Windows Vista/7 and the Unreal Engine 3. Wait for Nvidia to release a fixed driver or downgrade to Windows XP.

Also, any user made changes are questionable. So try without OCing as i've heard many reports of that being unfriendly with ME2. Also, try removing your changes as well and see if it helps.



Also, I would validate your game files (digital) or re-install (retail) to make sure you don't have any corrupt files.

Thanks guys!



Removing the added lines in the ini-file did nothing and I'm pretty sure that the issue occured before I alterd it as well.



If what you say about the malfunctioning drivers is true neckron, then the problem will be solved in about a week or so. I sure hope it doesn't persist, that would be a bummer.



A reinstall can't hurt, might as well try it. The sooner my problem is solved the better!



Once again thanks for the awsners.

I started encountering similar problems after I formated my computer from Win 7 RC to Win 7 Professional. Before that it was running on steady 60 FPS, now it drops to 20-35 FPS during every conversation and couple of areas. One thing that is now different than when I played this on Win 7 RC is that now I have 1.01 patch installed which I didn't have back then.

My rig:
Gigabyte EX-58 UD3R
Intell Core i7 920 @ 3,5Ghz (totally stable, been like that since last summer)
6Gb of OCZ DDR3
ATi HD4870 512Mb

What 1.02 patch? Am I missing something?



The problem with the low framerates my be this in your coalesced.ini:



[Engine.GameEngine]

bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE <-------------------

MinSmoothedFrameRate=22

MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62

m_bPlayLogoMovie=0

m_bIsLogoMovieInterruptable=0

m_bPlayScaleformOverLevelLoads=true



Try copying the code and putting it in to your gamersettings.ini and then change the true to false and reply back about what happens.

Oh sorry, meant 1.01 of course.

I will try
that .ini tweak tomorrow.

EDIT:
Decided to try it right now. No effect sadly. FPS still drops to low 20s when talking with Yeoman Kelly when I know it from experience that it used to be steady 60 before formatting. I have latest ATI Catalyst drivers installed which I didn't have before, I think I hadn't updated them for a month or two.

Did you change the true to false?



This could possibly be a driver issue, try reverting to your old driver. Before you do that, close back groud applications that you don't need running.

[Terrakki]

I did try both true and false. Didn't have any difference.



But doesn't matter. Driver rollback to Catalyst 9.12 fixed my problems. Should have tried it earlier but I didn't, since I thought I had these new 10.2 drivers also before the format. After putting some thought to it I remembered I actually couldn't be arsed updating my drivers when 10.2 was released because I knew I'd be formatting soon.
