FPS Lag
« on: May 04, 2013, 09:37:27 am »
Hey guys, since 3 days ago I'm having terrible fps lag, my fps drop from 60 to 10 during 4 seconds.

I didn't change anything from my San Andreas folder and I don't find anything that could be the problem; I reinstalled the game like almost 3 or 4 times and the problem stills there.

Any ideas?  :-X

defrag your hard disk.

Check for spyware/malware things

Take a look at CPU/GPU temperature , it may be an overheating problem.

I have already defragged my hard disk and the problem stills working.... I'm going to do what snoops say  :)

EDIT: I cleaned everything from my computer and the fps drop stills ruining my races  :-\

if those drops happen with other games , maybe your hard disk has some problems. download hd tune and see if there are sectors damaged/reallocated.

a format won't help, although it might ease it a bit.
a broken hard drive remains a broken one, at best you could try to disable the bad sectors(doesn't help 100%), but the failures most likely will keep happening, so prepare for HDD switch.
back up your data asap and get a new HDD, they're relatively cheap at least.
