Hello people,

since a couple of weeks, I'm experiencing weird random FPS lags in SA-MP. Once I enter a server, the FPS gradually decreases until it hits nearly 0 which forces me to quit the game. This, however, happens totally randomly. There are also times I start the game and everything is fine. The lag ingame seems to be caused when too many objects are nearby. I've been monitoring my CPU and haven't seen anything worrying.
I have tried setting the graphics ingame to their lowest settings and it still didn't increase the FPS. Multicore is of course enabled. Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be?

Cheers,
Manyula

First of all, what is your specs? CPU, RAM, GFX. And what OS is you running?

Did you installed some mods?

The first thing that struck me in mind was disk swapping due to over exceed ram. Give more info

- Intel Core i5
- 8GB of RAM
- XFX Radeon HD 7850 (2GB memory size)
- Windows 10

Try removing the Xbox app from Windows 10, it's known to cause issues like this: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-unins...in-windows-10/

Thanks for the advice, but that didn't work. The lags seem to increase the more objects are loaded. I also tried reinstalling the game, but that was of no use either. And no, I don't have any mods whatsoever installed.

Here's more information. I just realized that not only the game starts lagging terribly, but my whole computer aswell. While the game is running, the CPU load is at about 35-40% and it takes about 0.3MB of RAM. I'm taking a closer look at the temperatures now.

Close all the unnecessary background programs. Try this options>display setup>advanced = lower draw distance all the way, frame limiter = off, widescreen = off, visual fx quality = low, anti aliasing = off, resolution = low( whatever works best for you).

Not bad specs.. More than good enough for this old game

I recommend to:

1. Check background processes that looks suspected.
2. Check CPU temps. They will throttle down if its too hot. Ex 80-85-90C
3. Maybe new BIOS on your motherboard will fix it?
4. Is your HDD acting normal?
5. What type of PSU and how old it is?
6. Having excessive amount of gadgets connected in USB ports? If to.. Take them out and test

I already posted that I tested playing on the lowest settings possible, and that obviously it didn't help.
I just now played the game and it worked like a charm. I also took a closer look at your points, Brainles5, checked everything twice and those are certainly not the problem. I find too high temperatures, however, to be the most likely reason. I'll have my computer cleaned up the next couple of days.
