frame rate drops when the game window is on focus. - Tasoulios - 01-30-2016
My problem is that whenever i have control over the game (focus on the game) the frame rate goes like this: 60 fps for 10 seconds, 30 fps for 3-4 seconds, 60 fps for 10 sec, 30 fps for 3-4 sec and so on. Its perfectly timed and not random.
If i press alt-tab and the game loses focus, i can see it behind the menu window running full speed without the frame drops.
I tried disabling vsync or full screen and doesn't help. So what is the issue here please?

RE: frame rate drops when the game window is on focus. - Tasoulios - 01-30-2016
I tried it on Windows 10 and the situation improved a lot. I don't get timed slowdowns anymore. However, i still get slowdowns every now and then that don't happen if i don't use fullscreen. Basically, when the window isn't on focus it seems that there are less slowdowns, if any. But i can't play because the controller won't work.
Anyone else have this problem?
