Sudden fps drop

Hi guys.

I am experiencing some technical issues, which a ticket support correspondence couldn't resolve. Hence why I made this thread.

In short: my game will sudden up and drop to the low 20 fps, and stay like that until I hit Alt + Tab (which fixes it), and afterwards the frames will return to their normal (60+). Side question: what is the maximum frames one can achieve, and how?

Disclaimer: my rig is more than capable of DBOG, client launcher and dbo.exe is whitelisted and allowed through my firewall, all my drivers, OS etc. are up-to-date.

Thanks in advance!

Bumping, as this issue still occurs everytime I play.

Note: I have tried to disable the Windows 10 Defender's periodic scan, which did absolutely nothing on this matter.

Bumping again

Anyone have similar issues, or know of a possible fix?
I can provide my full specs and pc setup if that will help any.

Hi Oroshimitsu.

Alright. I think so too, because my high-end pc with a 165Hz monitor also can't exceed the 60 frames point.

My issue isn't lag. My game runs silky smooth without lag, until from time to time (and seemingly at fully random times) the fps will just drop down to 20, and then stay locked there for whatever reason. It's just really annoying, so I was hoping someone have experienced it themselves, and have found a permanent fix for this.

Alright. Still an annoying occurrence for sure!

If anyone know of or have the exact same issue as my opening comments, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi EsDeath.

Thanks for your reply, and for linking the lag fix.
Unfortunately, as I also wrote up above, it didn't do anything for me. The problem is not lag, as I have zero-to-none of that, but rather that for some reason, the fps will randomly drop to around 20 and stay locked there, until I alt + tab in and out of the game window (which then normalizes it). During some gaming sessions of DBOG it happens rarely, and then during other game sessions, it can happen every 10 minutes or so.

The only idea of the problem I have (although testing didn't resolve it) is due to my 165Hz overclocked IPS monitor, and / or the enabling of my G-sync. Any ideas?
