Opening main menu can fix FPS drop
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When game have FPS lagg (i think when its loading new objects) if you open main menu, it increase FPS back to normal, but if you close it again, FPS drops back down.

Funny is, it can do this "fix" when standing on one place OR ALSO if you flying in helicopter or plane.

Screenshots are from multiplayer, but same problem is in singleplayer (tested with plane)

PS: I have FPS drops when leaving EVERY building on altis, even looking out of windows does lagg and game is instaled on SSD {F21984} {F21985} {F21986} {F21987}

Steps To Reproduce

in MP (drop1 on screenshots):

  1. i played insurgency (but im sure mission doesnt care + i was on base, so only some friendly AIs loaded)
  2. move inside white building with ammoboxes
  3. and go back outside - FPS drops to half
  4. open main menu and see a miracle! fps is back in normal
  5. close main menu and cry again :(

in SP:

  1. just fly jet
  2. when game starts loading new parts of map, open main menu - it should give you more FPS
