RDR 2 - Sudden FPS drop. LML to be the cause?

[Skad von Schalburg 0]

Hello gentlemen,

First of all, thank you for the work you put in for the mods in this game, RDR 2 is not that mod friendly game as others.

I want to apologise if I put this topic in the wrong section, if so, please let me know and you can move it to the correct section.

 

I have finished RDR 2 twice, I have over 650 hours played on it.

Lately, I have started the game for the 3rd time to play it all over again, but this time with mods.

 

The mods I have installed are : Basic Needs ( needs.asi, needs.ini, needs.dat )  LML, scriphook, nativetrainer,asi , a mod that lets you sit down on almost any chair/bench and thats about it . Nothing about outfits, bank robberies , no graphics overhaul whatsoever.

 

However, since I have installed those mods, I have been getting this strange out of the sudden FPS drops. my normal FPS rate is I think around 30-40 fps , and then suddenly it gets to maybe like 3-5 fps, that keeps only 5 seconds long and then gets back to normal.

its just like in this Reddit post video, same problem : https://www.reddit.com/r/PCRedDead/comments/olpzf5/ive_been_getting_sudden_fps_drops_in_the_game_for/

 

 

Is it possible that there are some conflicts with the LML ? or Scripthook ? Or any mod in general that been causing this ? 

Because never, not even once while playing the game twice have I ever experienced something like this.

 

Here are my system specs:

  CPU Brand:  AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics

  Speed:  2895 Mhz
    16 logical processors
    8 physical processors

Operating System Version:
    Windows 10 (64 bit)

    Desktop Color Depth: 32 bits per pixel
    Monitor Refresh Rate: 144 Hz

Memory:
    RAM:  15789 MB

 

Storage :

Number of SSDs: 1
    SSD sizes: 512G
    Number of HDDs: 0
 

As solutions I already tried the next things : 

Lower my graphics a bit ( not much lower that I used before)

Set CPU affinity CPU to 4 and not all of them marked.

Disabled/Enabled some settings that might had caused the problem but to no avail.

 

 

Thats about it , would be really glad if someone could help me with this ..

 

Thank you !

LML might cause performance issues on slow disks since there is an I/O overhead. Since you are on a SSD, this should not be the case, though. To verify, you can remove vfs.asi and see if it helps your framerate.

Hello,

 

I have done for now something that as weird as it might sound, it works a bit better, at least for now.

I have disabled my cloud savings , completly deleted the folder and let the game save on my own PC , not on Cloud/One Drive, also once again set my affinity of CPU's to 4 and for now , during 1 full hour of gameplay, I have experienced the issue only one single time, to be honest if its happens just one or two times per hour I dont mind it, but not every 5-10 minutes.

 

However, I will keep playing it and let you know how it progress, if starts once again like before, I will remove the vfs.asi.

 

Thanks !
