OK, so touch wood... my FPS is consistently about 60 now.
With A18 I had around 30-40 FPS. I'm not a much of a gamer and was willing to live with that... And then A19 dropped and I got a nice little boost, it was closer to the 40-45 FPS mark.
Then after I think the second update it suddenly became dismally bad. I saw lots of reports on bad FPS so I just left it at that and trusted that whatever TFP "fixed" would get solved before A19 stable came out.
Today I decided to actually read some of the FPS threads (I avoid these because these tend to be about people's own very specific situations) and I saw some suggestions to just drop terrain quality to low as that is often a quick fix.
So I decided I'd give that a bash. But one of the posts had specs fairly similar to mine, and I decided to go over all the settings and compare them.
The very first item to check was vsync => off. I always have it off, but being meticulous I decided to check it in any case, and what have you, my VSync had somehow gotten turned on! I don't know WHEN this happened or why it took me so long to check this, but since that is often an issue for me, I stopped at this point:
I then went with the following:
1. Select the "High quality" profile.
2. Set Terrain to "Low"
3. VSync off as it should be.
4. Motion blur OFF
5. DoF OFF
And for the first time ever I get FPS over 50 with 60-ish being consistent now and sometimes momentarily as high as 80!
I'm of course quite happy with this result so decided to share!
My computer specs, for what it's worth - I don't have a "real" computer, only a Laptop. xD
MSI Leopard 8RE
i7 8750 H
24 GB ram
First drive is 256 GB M2
Second Drive is 1TB SSD
Nvidia GeForce 1060 6GB
I bought it as a workstation for software development. Like I said I'm no gamer, but I do enjoy 7 Days, I just die a lot.
