Repeated Crashes, FPS Degradation - fuzzout - 09-10-2013

Hello!

To start, I will just put out my specs e.t.c.
Windows 8.1 (up to date)
AMD FX-8350
GTX 680s SLI (2 graphics cards)
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (1600)
Many Hard Drives (Amnesia is in a 1TB fresh hard drive)

Programs currently running:
ESL Wire
Origin (with in-game overlay enabled)
Steam (with in-game overlay enabled)
Battle.net launcher
Open Broadcaster (streaming software, attached to the game)

I will try to do some testing by disabling origin and OBS to see if it still crashes. I don't think its OBS as my friend Samteddeh is running OBS fine without a single crash in decades.


What happens:
It seems initially the game runs beautifully, but then as time passes the performance degrades to sad levels (framerate spikes, mini-lockups and crashes). I've adapted the approach of saving and quitting and re-entering; the game has crashed twice during a save now (thankfully no corruption).




For now I will leave you with this:

Step-by-step:
1) Disable Origin-Steam in-game overlay.
2) I can't see a reason to open Battle.net launcher, I suggest you to close. You can open it again when you finish playing AAMFP.
3) Close ESL Wire.
4) I don't see any problem with Broadcaster, but I suggest you to close it and try again.

It seems origins ingame overlay was causing the crashes Smile

Smile Overlays can cause issues easily, I'm glad that you solved this problem Smile
