Ever since I upgrading to windows ten there seem to be a huge decrease in game performance when playing games and i have tried to rule out my computer as being the issue.
Just a look at the rig I am running:
AMD FX8370 OC @ 4.6ghz nice n cool
16 GB DDR3 1866 RAM ripjaw
GTX 980 SLI
and ALL SSD drives
all held together on msi 970 (killer) board
For instance, counter strike go. everyone knows it can be run on almost a phone by now im running 30 FPS when before windows 10 i would run 200 FPS
h1z1 before windows 10 was always over 130 FPS
now 20 FPS
and the list goes on.
Here are a few things ive done SINCE my FRESH windows 10 OS WIPE!! (don't tell me to run a file checker like Microsoft did via chat)
uninstall and reinstall more then 4 nvidia video drivers from the newest to a couple older ones hoping for better results & yes i made sure to get rid of all old drivers.
take out one video card hoping it was sli issue
check for ram leaks ( i know not likely due to problem occurring after windows 10 )
try another video card, installed proper drivers and got same results
And finally a clean OS wipe, played around with quite a lot of settings and still no go
I had five games installed on my son's laptop before upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. These games were all running perfectly before the upgrade, but now only two of the five will launch.
The ones that won't open, are Gardenscapes, Mortimer Beckett and the Lost King, and Mortimer Beckett and the Crimson Thief.
They are all still in the Games folder. Is there a way of getting them to launch, or will I have to uninstall and then reinstall them?
I am having major problems after upgrading free to windows 10. I upgraded just around 30 minutes ago after posting this and my screen has gotten more blurry and whenever i want to play any of my first person shooter games, i run into extreme lag that renders the entire game unplayable. My games were running fine before i have upgraded. In fact, they ran better then fine, they ran great. Not sure what to do but i am thinking it might have something to do with the increased blurriness. I have also noticed that everything seems slightly bigger on my screen after the upgrade. The extreme lag is definitely not being caused by my computer. It is a custom built gaming desktop and the lag only started immediately after i upgraded.
I did upgrade to windows 10 from windows 8.1 but found that my favourate games would not run on full screen but only in a window.... (X2 the Treat, X3 games....)
Did find a few anoying problems with the start menu but can see there would be improvment so could live with it.
But the fullscreen problem drove me mad so reverted back to 8.1.
I recently reinstalled Fallout 3 but noticed every time I saved, they weren't detected in the Load screen. I checked the folder (C:UsersAlien2DocumentsMy GamesFallout3) and my saves were there! So the game is saving, but I'm unable to load any of them cuz they aren't getting detected.
I have Windows 10 which warns me the game is not optimized, but it runs fine. Also, I want to note I did not have to install Games for Windows Live when I installed fallout 3 through Steam, but when I click the warning Windows 10 gives me about the game not running properly, it sends me straight to an install link for GfWL which I decided to reinstall.
I had hoped to use the migrate method where you'd move the save files from My Games/Fallout 3 into whatever profile folder there is made from GfWL but after reinstalling and logging into my old account it didn't work.why I can't load my games?
I've been having this issue for nearly a year now (probably around 9 months). It started after my little sister made me get a virus by her trying to download something onto my laptop. I've since taken it to a reputable computer shop as well as followed instructions from other computer wizs and I think it's no longer there. Issue is, my computer has kind of developed another problem after that. It freezes on it's own sometimes, when I pick it up or even when it's on a desk and immobile. It would also freeze when I play a game sometimes, loud buzzing sound as the game continues in loops I believe. I had BSOD problems earlier this year that was solved (Apparently. I haven't gotten any in about 4-5 months) when I had Windows 7 but this issue still persists.
When it would freeze and I manually turn off my computer and turn it back on, the laptop would sometimes say no wifi could be detected. At all. Not mine, not my neighbors, nothing. I've never really taken it out of the house so I don't know if it'd act the same elsewhere. I would then shut it down and take out the battery for 30 seconds before putting it back in. Sometimes the wifi would work then or I'd go connect it to my Internet Modem and the wifi would start working over there too.
So I'm not sure what's causing this problem. It's not overheating as I had it cleaned less than 4 months ago by a professional. I've had this laptop for two years and I really wanted it to last me at least 4 because I'll be going into an animation program soon and to get a laptop of the same caliber costs $1000+.
Is there anyway I can solve this freezing issue/loss of wifi on my own? I'm thinking of taking it back to the computer shop (they've had a hard time trying to find out what's wrong with it) but I'm sure they'll charge me again and I'm not willing to end up paying a lot to get this fixed. Might as well buy a new one if it costs more than $500 to fix...
P.S. I'm also having issues with my sound card where I'd plug in my headphones and it would work but when I take it out, my laptop would say it's still plugged in. Addtionally, my CD Rom Drive makes a loud sound when I try to skip through CDs and DVDs. Sometimes it won't even skip and just continue making the sound. I don't know how my laptop has gotten to this state as I've taken very good care of it (minus allowing a younger sibling to use it but you live and learn). These issues don't bother me much as I can use a DVD player for my DVD's and the sound issue isn't an issue for me. I don't really care for it since I use headphones 90% of the time or have the sound off.
So I know the drivers are new for Windows 10, but i have a significantly low amount of fps for games I've been playing. I have an i5-4590 and a r9 280x. I use to max out fps on CSGO and now it maybe gets 40-50. Also, when i play rust i get 20-30 fps. I was talking to some guys I was playing CSGO with and they are getting maxed out fps with gpu that aren't much better than mine. I can't even get GTA V to run at all. I redownloaded the drivers too.
When i alt tab from a game to desktop it should be pretty much instant like with windows 7 but now with windows 10 everytime i alt tab out of a game there is a black screen for 3 seconds, its not instant like before. It is the same when i open up the game again it takes a long time.
When i upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 i really noticed lag when alt tabbing from games. When im alt tabbing from games the screen goes black 2-3 seconds compared to windows 7 which the alt tab were instant from games. This also occurs when opening, the game takes 3 seconds to open. This is really annoying and i have tried disabling programs and updating my graphic driver.
I load a pc game from disk or on steam, I lose the mouse pointer, so cannot play. This happens on windows 7 and 10. My system is as follows: Intel i5 Cpu at 3.1 ghz, Amd Radeon HD7770 graphics card, 12 Gb ram, currently windows 10. When I move the mouse, it seems to be running behind the video, since icons on the game light up as it passes.
I know nothing about computers other than how to get games on steam. WMI provider host is using 10-100% of my cpu. Can i just disable it, or do i need it for something? I end process, it starts again, people saying it might have something to do with CimWin32
Ever since upgrading today I started getting fps drops in games. In csgo and league I drop down to 190 which isnt bad but when it fluctuates between 300 and 190 it starts to stutter and is very hard to play. I have a r9 290x and might go back to win7 if I cant fix it.
I am having a problem with games freezing on my windows 10 pc. The games that have been freezing are GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and Team Fortress 2. GTA V is working fine without any freezes. if i reboot my pc all games are working fine, the freezing usually happens when the pc have been on for a few hours and happens randomly. the games actually start but is really slow, i can skip the intro cutscenes but after that i cant do anything. I can Ctrl + Alt + Delete and close the games and the pc is working just fine its just the games that wont work.
I have an Old Dos Game that I was able to find in bin format and was trying to figure out how to play it on Windows 10. I was trying to figure out DosBox but maybe it's just me but it's too complicated.
I have been having an issue for a few weeks now where my computer will BSOD or freeze whenever I play certain games.
At first I thought it was a specific game (Xcom 2) that was doing it, but it has since started happening while playing other games that didn't have that issue in the past (One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 and Sonic Racing Transformed).
I included the file as requested on the posting instructions.
Note I ran the program today, but I havent had a crash since yesterday so I am unsure if the information will be there? If necessary I can run Xcom 2 for a while to force a crash, but for obvious reasons I would prefer not to if it isn't needed.
A few months ago I installed a windows 7 security update, and my computer basically turned to crap. Most programs couldn't be run unless I opened them in compatibility mode for vista, and games were very laggy. I fixed most of the problems by updating to windows 10, but the game lag is still here. I've updated all of my drivers, but I still can't seem to find the issue. Admittedly, my graphics card is quite bad, but I could still run a lot of games at low settings decently, but now most are abysmal. Oddly enough, there a few games that run just as well as they did before the update. They are Sniper Elite 2, Diablo III, Elder Scrolls online, and nearly all single player games. However, no other game, at least that I've tried, can run. What's causing this lag, and why these games in specific run fine?
Here is my System: OS: Windows 10 CPU: I5 2500K MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 GPU: MSI 980TI PSU: OCZ ZT series 750 PSU RAM: 2X 4GB Kingston hyper blue 1333 SSD: OCZ Agility 3 128 GB (OS drive) HDD: samsung 1TB, WD black 1TB both are 7200 RPM Cooler: CM 212 EVO Case: Rosewill Blackhawk
When I am playing certain games, my pc will randomly reboot. no BSOD, no warning, nothing. Iv'e done the following to try and discover and troubleshoot the issue ...
-Monitored GPU & CPU temps: stays stable, happens at many different temps, but nothing high, roughly 55C or so
-disabled all overclocks: set my CPU back to normal profile and disabled GPU settings back to default
-Updated video drivers: Currently have 361.75, problem persisted on older version as well
-ran memory test: no errors found
-performed GPU stress test: never rebooted, did this for an hour
The games ive had this happen to are: borderlands 2, Firefall & GTA V (single player)
-I checked my logs and i seem to have a Kernel-power event 41 error happening.
I would like to avoid wiping my system and starting over, this is my last attempt before I go this route.
So I recently installed GTA 5 through Steam and started playing it with no audio issues, however for some reason now the sound does not work at all when it loads even though I didn't make any changes to my computer or install anything that may have caused an issue. I looked up the problem online and many people have the same issue but most of them seem to at least get sound during the loading screen, I don't have any sound in this game at all now.
I also had the same problem with World of Warships, one day the sound just stopped working. I tried playing with my playback devices, turning off the 'allow programs to take exclusive control of this device' for all the devices, reinstalling my audio drivers, direct x and now I'm pretty much out of things to try. Other games in Steam still work fine with no audio issues.
I am having a really annoying problem when playing games. After about 10 minutes my screen will turn black and the light on my monitor goes orange as if it's not connected. When I installed Windows 10 I had the exact problem, but this was because it was defaulting to my on board graphics not my Graphics card and I fixed this.
