Constant low fps and low gpu usage

[Winter Shyvana]

Greetings,

I've been on and off APB for the past few months. Last time I played was around 3 months ago. A few days ago, whenever I try to play apb I get very low fps for my specs, with gpu usage hovering around 18-20%.

 

My specs are: Ryzen 5 1600 non OC

16gb ddr4 2400mhz

Gtx 1070 8gb

Apb on ssd

 

Now here is the weird part: I've tried reinstalling apb and it fixed the problem, I got 70-80 fps on high, then on my next reboot, the problem came back. Now, having to reinstall the game each time I wanna play is not a viable option :/

Did anyone experience this problem? how did you fix it? Any ideas on the cause?

Thank you kindly
