wayofthinking 0 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Hello, I have two problems. The first one is, I have fps problems. My PC should handle this game easily, but I have fps drops every few seconds. I dunno why, maybe you can help me. PC specs: i7 7700k 32gb RAM GTX 1080Ti 144hz display Second problem: The objects ingame are popping up constantly, even cars are popping up. It feels like theres a really short render distance. Graphics setting is the highest. Is there any way to fix it? I hope you can help, because I really want to play this game. Best regards, wayofthinking Edited June 13, 2018 by wayofthinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bloo 43 Posted June 13, 2018 The fps thing is with everyone it seems, just the servers being doody from the DDOS lately. As for stuff popping up..I have no idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is, I already tried the game many times. And everytime I have these fps drops. I think it's the third time I wanna try out the game. Between these tries were a few months I think.

PoshDoll 93 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) unpark your cpu's cores, that could help. Edited June 13, 2018 by PoshDoll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayofthinking 0 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) It's running on a HDD atm, but I can play games like The Witcher 3 on my HDD too, without any objects pop ups or fps drops? Edited June 13, 2018 by wayofthinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobii 346 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) That's called optimization. Something APB's been struggling with for quite some time. I would try to move it over to your SSD if you have one, and see if that helps. There used to be a lot of guides on the forum, but I don't remember exactly what they suggested.

wayofthinking 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Alright, game is on my ssd now. Objects, cars, NPCs are still popping up, it's like the render distance is capped at 100 meters. FPS drops are still a thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alani 475 Posted June 13, 2018 the game uses CPU power more than GPU, so if your CPU is doing multiple things at once it will hinder APBr. the object popping should really only account to NPCs because they sort of just spawn. I would recommend using the advanced launcher as it can stop the pop ups afaik. I have used the launcher since forever, and I don't get any sort of pop ups.

IRyanI 15 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) What Nvidia setting are you set with in the control panel. I had similar issues when editing the advanced settings. Most of the time when I think about objects popping up its based off the LOD and the view distance setting built in the game.

Do you have any temperature monitoring on? Also not sure this place is correct for this kind of question, seeing as it's prob a bug/issue of some kind. Should maybe get it moved.

Here is a picture, I hope you know now what I mean. As you can see, on the upper picture you can't see the car. I moved 1-2 meters forward and the car popped up. I dunno if it's just the game, but it's strange how short the render distance is. Specially while driving these pop ups are a bit .. well, not beneficial. I tried both fullscreen or windowed fullscreen, no difference. Temperatures are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayori 311 Posted June 13, 2018 Have you tried to "reapply" the settings? It's definitely something on your end because I'm running it on 8700k@4.9GHz stable 101fps 1080p ...and old old mechanical drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You ignored me asking if you have any temp MONITORING software running.. but well. I guess neither of us read. You didn't mention what Windows version you're on either. Seeing as someone suggested you should try and unpark cores. I would reinstall the game, check if that makes a difference. If not, remove drivers with DDU. If it's the same, Malwarebytes. And if nothing whatsoever works, format your PC. Edited June 13, 2018 by Tobii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the options menu, select a different graphics quality option, apply, restart the game, see if this makes any difference. If not, try what Tobiii said. I've tried MSI afterburned with OSD on after Battleye patch and there are no issues. I'd not go that far to reinstall Windows though.
