Was there a change in the game?

I'm getting lower FPS than before. I know the game is CPU heavy, but my god my turbo-boosting gaming is at 91 C, with 48 FPS.

Are you sure that you do not have some resource hog running in the background?

Aside from Chrome, not really.

I have 260-300 ping now on American server. Its the same as Europe. Hell cant hit lights.

They moved something.

With each update the fps gets lower and lower.
If the processor is weak, the most effective solution is to reduce the quality of shadows and particles.

If you've got youtube running while playing, that's your issue. If you have any adblock going, youtube is an even worse resource hog. Google's war against adblock is real.

No, that is not necessarily true.

I kinda fixed this, by clearing the shader cache, and reused Vaad's tweaks. Thanks guys.

Altho, yeah, I can see the game being even more spaghettified down the line.

[LordNothing]

if you havent played in awhile purge your shader cache.

nvm. im stupid.

The game runs on one core so if its spiking your temps to 91c that sounds like its time for a repaste.

And a thorough cleaning of the heatsink itself. though.... I think he may still be on a laptop though. - Acer Aspire V3 574G - though both dismantling, new thermal paste and clearing out any dust buildup would help. And.... in 2019 he was looking for a new laptop, and he posted that he had replaced the thermal pasting. Dang, is he still running that Acer, which should be approaching 10 years old.

Do you disable Turbo boost back then? Or did you re-enabled Turbo Boost? With some Windows update, if you did have it disabled the settings may have been changed back to default.

Disable Turbo Boost setting to 98% or 97% - https://www.tautvida...el-turbo-boost/

And if you haven't yet, potentially utilize a program to manually control your fans - such as NoteBook FanControl.

A ten year old laptop that is spiking to 91C playing mwo absolutely needs a repaste and cleaning of the fan and sinks. Good thing is there will most likely be a video showing in detail exactly how to do it.

Pretty sure that doesn't have turbo-boost. I've been gaming in a Predator Helios 300 2020 for 3 years now.

Have to go a lot older to when Turbo Boost didn't exist. Non-Pentium CPU systems actually had a turbo button to boost the CPU speeds. Turbo Boost works with 2008+ CPU., And Acer Aspire V3 574G had Turbo Boost
Max Turbo Frequency 2.70 GHz
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Frequency‡ 2.70 GHz
Processor Base Frequency 2.20 GHz

So you did purchase a new laptop!! Basic theme from the mfg forums to Reddit. Laptop-wise, CPU hitting 90*C isn't the issue, it is how that heat affects other system components and degrading them, especially the battery.

I have Acer Predator and it had this problem from the start. Only way to play games is to turn off the automatic overclock for CPU (so your cpu will only run on 2.8 GHz). For that you can use ThrottleStop or like previously stated change maximum processor state to 99% ( which also turns off processor turbo)

Predator Helios 300 The following will vary slightly version/year of the laptop.

i7-7700HQ Processor (2019 i7-9750H max Turbo is 3.5ghz)

Total Cores 4
Total Threads 8
Max Turbo Frequency 3.80 GHz
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Frequency‡ 3.80 GHz
Processor Base Frequency 2.80 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB

I already reduce it to 94% to increase longevity.
