Hi there everyone,
first off all, i really enjoy the game, for hundreds of hours since five years, great game!
I never had any bigger performance issues, rarely fps drop but i was fine with that, but since alpha 18, maybe 18.2 oder 18.3, i dont know exaktly, i got rarely high fps, constantly arround 20 fps, unplayable.
While playing singleplayer the fps are a little bit higher and but hosting an multiplayergame, was terrible.
There where only a few seconds every two or three minutes, the game runs smooth on 60 FPS.
So i opened Afterburner to take a look what the Problem exaktly was and i was suprised.
While playing the game everything seems fine, but my GPU was only at 20% usage and very uneven history?!?
But AFTER! is switched on the Afterburner and 7DTD runs behind the usage went up to 90-100% and 7DTD shows up to 60FPS and even more without V-Sync.
I repeat switching between 7Days and MSI Afterburner with the same result
7DTD in front = 20fps and around 20% usage
Afterburner in Front, but 7Days visible in the background = 60fps and 100% usage.
It seems that 7dtd was not able to use my GPU without help, i tried a lot to fix that, reinstall, change drivers, overclocking and more, but nothing helps.
Then i tried the same with the Windows Task-Manager and it worked fine, so i set a mark at „allways in front“ put the Task-Manager as far as possible on the bottom of the screen under the toolbelt, switch on 7DTD and since then i can play the game with constantly 60fps (without v-Sync up to 90) again, not a small single Drop in the last 10 hours of play.
I hope i could explain understandable and it helps other players and the Devs to find out what the problem is? Maybe a rare issue with the Hardware?
I have no idea whats going on, maybe someone can explain that to me?
I play on a Windows 10 System
Intel Core i5 4690k
16GB Memory
MSI Geforce GTX 970 4G Gaming
Some may say, that this is far away from a fix and they are right, but it works for me and i have no problems with the small white stripe under the toolbelt/Water and Food bar.
best regards!
