The game struggles to maintain around 33 frames per second.
I was enjoying Just Cause 3 last evening and encountered poor FPS performance. The average hovered between 25 and 33 frames per second. Upon investigation, it became clear the game isn't capped at 30 FPS, and Vsync remains disabled. My setup includes a 1440p display with Gsync at 165Hz, but on my older monitor (3440x1440, 100Hz ultra wide), I experienced smooth 100 FPS. Switching to windowed mode reduced it to 10-17 FPS. I adjusted settings to low, lowered resolution to 1080p, and even further to 720p, still maintaining 25-33 FPS. I ensured Vsync was off in the Nvidia control panel. The unusual behavior started after about 45 seconds: the game initially ran at 120 FPS, then gradually dropped to 90 FPS and finally stabilized around 25-33 FPS. The game is updated, my drivers are current, but it seems the performance issues persist despite these changes.
