[TECH] Looking for support as I experience fps drop/stutter over time.

[Naryu]

Stutters over time are usually linked to memory leaks,  or overheating.

 

You can use HW Monitor to check your computer's temperatures, and more specifically,  your graphics card temperatures.

I have started to notice this too.  I feel like it's a rageMP bug.  Sometimes there is really strange lag, like if you're walking and move the camera to change direction, there is about a 1-2 second delay (normally it's very smooth).  And if I rapidly move the mouse around there will be these stutters.  This is in places where normally everything is very smooth.  FPS in interiors has also dropped recently.

You guys, try turning your texture shadows down to Normal if you haven’t, I know that helps alot

[Ketamine Kowboy]

Can speak from my own experience disbaling the typical laptop bloatware (McAfee, Norton, Etc) helped a lot, as it occupied lots of RAM and also prevented Rage from working properly.

 

Atop that, as mentioned above cooler temperatures helped a lot as well, using compressed air to blow out my fans and heatsinks have led me to once again have a smooth experience.

Hey, thanks all for offering your ideas but I believe I may have fixed it.
I came across a fix late last night and thought I'd try it out.. I've done one test so far and it seems to have fixed my issue.

 

The fix was turning my mouse polling rate down from 1000Hz to 250Hz.. Right? Weird. I think the addition of the new GPU may be working the CPU more than it used to so when the mouse wanted to speak to the CPU, it couldn't grab whatever it needed.. 

Now I've only tested it once and lasted just over an hour so I'll do some more testing, but that change helped a lot!

can you explain how do I change my mouse polling rate to 250hz?

If your mouse has its own software it is done within there. I have a HyperX mouse so it has software called HyperX NGENUITY.

This might sound weird and might not work at all, but whenever I log in and I'm experiencing texture loss and lag, I open task manager and usually find a process called RAGE MP UI Sub Process that runs separate of the group processes of RAGEMP, terminating it doesn't affect anyting in my experience and stops the lag for me:

 

The processes group

 

The single process you should stop:

 

It sometimes continues running even after I quit RAGEMP

Make sure you manually close  RageMP_UI process in your task manager if the game is already running. Sometimes it keeps running but it is not supposed to(I THINK). Long TAB'ing also makes me lag and I have to restart the game.

It's the one that is not in the sub-process group, it pops up outside of it
