Fps drops after one hour playing

[PanzaAa]

I've got an I5 3570k, a gtx 670 2gb, 16gb ram and my problem is that after playing perfectly for an hour at 70 fps in "good" settings , my game starts stuttering a lot. So i have to quit the game, restart etc. What I tried is: - reinstall rust - verify cache integrity - change Nvidia drivers ( 3 differents, I've got the last one atm)

with no success

If you guys have an idea please let me know.

Thx

When the performance starts getting really bad, try typing "gc.collect" without the quotes into the console (F1). There will be a 1 second burp, and then it may bring framerate back up. If it helps, type "gc.interval 60" into the console whenever you start playing.

This made the game playable for me again, otherwise I start with 50 fps and then it slowly decreases until I crash.

Its just you RAM filling up over time just restart your game to fix it it also depends on your build i can play for about 10 hours before my ♥♥♥♥ start dieing.

Right, and gc.collect will allow you to clear the unusused ram without quitting the game.

Unfortunately that's not the only reason for the crash since the last couple of patches. The "you should update steam popup" crashes me to bluescreen (even though it's not supposed to trigger while in game) every single time.

Update: switching from the higher quality settings to Fast helped stability a lot, even though I get roughly the same framerate on higher quality, and used to have no issues.

Step 2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management in the editor.

Step 3. Find ClearPageFileAtShutDown and change its value to 1.

Step 4. Restart the computer. after the resest you memory should be below 30 %. if o your good if not then try another way

I'm on Windows 7 x64 do you think I can try that?

The problem I have to restart every hour,

[Hold da Cold]

Hi. I have this problem. I have been playing for a year without any problems. After the latest update, I have to restart the game every hour. There are no problems with RAM, as well as with video memory. CPU and GPU are not loaded at 100%.
Interesting observations: FPS drops only when manipulating the keyboard (even looking at the wall and pressing forward) and the mouse (even the cursor with the inventory open). Movement in a passive state (for example, standing on a train platform) does not cause a drop in FPS. That is, lags begin only when using input devices. The drivers and system update are the latest. Reinstalling Steam and Rust did not give positive results.

You just necroed an 8 year old post that has absolutely nothing to do with your post. Clearly this op's hardware was insanely underrated for the game then, and absolutely is now.

Why would you even do this? lmao

Just to avoid starting a new thread when there's already an existing one.
By the way, I solved the problem (if you can call it a solution). It was not obvious. I had to enable Steam overlay. The problem is somehow related to the new video recording feature. It occurs to those who play on Proton.
