Greetings, 'warriors.

I experience FPS drops from time to time on certain CW maps. Some maps lag, some don't. Don't know the reason. Looks like something is loading up from HDD, but I have 8GB of RAM and 2GB of VRAM - should be enough, considering I'm playing with not maxed out settings. Tried to lower the textures to medium. Same drops.

Ingame it looks like this:

or this:


CPU is Intel Core i5 4210H (2 physical cores, 4 threads), It's pretty much enough for stable ~30+ fps.
GPU is 2GB GeForce GTX860M. Not much powerful, but MWO depends on CPU more, then on GPU. Also, I have almost all settings minimized except for textures and couple of others:


So, what's the problem? As for now I think only of bad coding by PGI. Any thoughts/suggestions?

P.S. I play in full screen mode. This "Windowed mode" is only between rounds, when the match starts I press ALT+ENTER and play fullscreen

There are definitely a couple of points on some maps where crushing blows to your frame rate seem pretty consistent - for instance the left exit (alpha gate side) of the defender spawn on Sulfurous. Every single time I go that way there's a momentary lag.

I haven't paid much attention to other spots, but I know they're out there and I'm not yet certain what's causing them. Environment is a setting that hits the CPU kind of hard (particles and shadows also do this). You might want to set that down to low. It might help (I know it'll help your overall performance just a little bit, but might help the weird issue, too.
