I noticed a slowdown around Sept 20th. I dropped to lowest settings, but the game still had periods of noticable slowdown. Now the game runs like a slideshow even on the lowest setting whenever I begin combat.
Did something change for you ingame, like that there now are more fnix bases than before?
What about your system specs?
Try to measure cpu, gpu and memory load and temperature.
It appears that the GPU is what’s causing issues, but this game on the lowest setting should not eat up 100% of a NVIDIA GTX 1060.
Then again, maybe it’s time for an upgrade.
If you don’t set a maximum framerate (with V-sync for example) it will draw as many as it can utilising about 100% GPU.
Have a Dynamic Frame Rate set to 30, still runs like a slideshow at the beginning of any combat encounter.
This is weird. I played GZ on GTX1070 @ 2560x1080 @60fps, all settings maxed with no problems
