FPS Drops making game unplayable

[ThePlotChickens]

For some reason over the last 1-2 weeks, I have been getting horrible frame rate drops. I run on medium/low settings and can easily get between 110-150+ frames most of the time. It's ran like butter for close to a month now. But now I'm getting insane frame drops down to sub 30 at random intervals. There's no rhyme or reason, And have really noticed it bad over the last week or so.

I'm not normally bothered by occasional frame dips, or really most technical issues. But what the heck is going on? I love the game. But I'm about to uninstall and put this game down as a result, it's occurring like 1-4 times per minute and it's driving me absolutely up a frickin wall.

I'm on an SSD, and I've tried modifying my settings, changing the frame display (windowed -> borderless), changing frame rates, vsync, other graphics settings, I've updated my driver, installed and uninstalled the game itself. But nothing seems to be working. I haven't/did not change anything prior to this occurring, and it's really come up out of nowhere.

I'm not getting any kind of issues in other games (like HLL), and I booted that up just in case it was a hardware issue, but I'm noticing anything out of the ordinary.

Ugh. I'm so pissed off with this, and instead of having a chill evening before work tomorrow, I've been dickering for the last 3+ with this, and I'm still no closer. WTH.

change max fps to 60 and use lossless scaling to double it.

Same, I also have stuttering. I have changed graphics settings, driver settings, BIOS settings, can't seem to fix it. I hate it, makes the game feel horrible to play.

If you have AMD CPU/Software, try switching to performance. quality has image sharpening stuff. only tried this for a hour or 2 but seems to work better. guessing intel may have similar stuff if your not AMD. My graphics card is NVIDIA and i haven't played with that really.
