Issue with SWBF2 performance after installation FPS drops significantly once the game reaches 3070 seconds
The title clearly indicates the issue. I experienced a crash while shooting at 200fps.
The title hints at possible issues. Have you swapped in a newer card? Did you uninstall the old drivers via Display Driver Uninstall? Is there a BSOD or black screen error? Are your drivers current?
The title gives you the gist, but details are incomplete—missing specs, driver data, and other important info.
Start with DDU and new drivers first. If that doesn’t work, try Windows Compatibility Mode and turn off DirectX 12 in the game settings—this only helps if the issue is specific to this game. For problems across several games, reinstall fresh windows. If that fails, we’ll look into hardware issues head-on.
Only SWBF2 consistently performs well across all tests, maintaining an average FPS above expectations. It was 200 now at 90-100, hoping someone else shared the same issue. I’ll upgrade to the new master MB and perform a clean install of everything. If it resolves the problem, I’ll back up images daily to compare results after the update. Perhaps we can identify the root cause together. No one is certain yet.
Have you attempted to play the game using DirectX 11? It's an older title from an era when DX12 wasn't widely supported. There could be a simple way to launch it in DX11 as well. Several titles from that time period offered this option.
