FPS and Disconnects

[Souls Of Mischief]

My game randomly closes within 1 hour or so. Shouldn't be the internet, connection isn't disrupted or anything. Happened yesterday, too. Any ideas why?

GLKjack I had problems similar to your when PR 1.0 was first released where FPS would take a plunge and the return to normal. Here is what I did to correct it.

1. power cycle router, simple but effective and most people overlook it.
2. Run a disk clean up
3. De-frag the hard drive you have PR installed on.
4. Start the game until you are at the main PR screen the CTRL+ALT+DEL go to processes and set PR's priority to "high" or "real time" this will help the computer use the processor more. Since your processors are so high spec i suspect that your computer many not be fully utilizing it and instead be using the graphics card and RAM to do most of the work.

Sometimes running virus scans seem to help. My guess is that they delete "temp" files that may be causing some sort of conflict.

I will try the disk defrag. but I have come to the conclusion that my video card is crapping out on me. Im gonna take it to the computer guys to see if that is the problem.]

i tried it on arma 3 on completely low graphics and its doing the same thing, i used to play arma with pretty good settings. starting to think something might have happened when i wiped it

I dont know

Does this also happen with Battlefield 2?

[GLKjack]

it happens with all my games, i think its the thermal paste for the processor, i detached the processor to check the serial number and i dont remember any problems before that, then i started playing again and i get this stuttering so im going to try that.

So yea...it was the thermal paste...
