Ravenholm stutters and low fps

[И побей и обоссы]

Just got to Ravenholm and FPS got extremely terrible.
When i watch on large campfire right beneath Georgy first meeting point fps drops to 40.
There are a lot of different places where this happens.
Also even in main menu it shows somewhere around 60 fps (i'm trying to run it in 90).
No fps/stutter issues in other games

Have you, by chance, set anti-aliasing to 8x? If so, lower it. It is insanely expensive.

Other than that, fire is among the most expensive entities in the game for the CPU, especially laptop CPUs, although I have played through Ravenholm on similar specs just fine. If you have installed any mods like graphical overhauls, you may need to experiment with disabling some of them. As a last attempt, you can also try setting r_dynamiclights 0 in the console.

Thank you for response
I have my AA set to "No")
Same FPS with and without mods
I'll try r_dynamiclights 0, thank you)

Problem is that it's still lagging in the same spot even if I turn the valve off and have no flames. Hope it's just some weird single core issue encountered only in hl2, not the episodes.

I am on a highway 17 rn, no problems here as well as in mines after ravenholm

I also noticed a large dip in frames whenever there was fire present. I realize its an expensive effect to have in VR. I was able to manage just fine however.

Same thing and I was hoping to get some kind of solution here. It shows 59-60 like it's locked to this value. Can't get anything above. Graphics setting don't matter. Whereas Alyx - no problem - 72, 90. There's something rotten in City 17...
