Horrible FPS drop after 30 minutes of play.

in TERA PC - General Discussion
Hey guys, not entirely sure where this should be posted, so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum.

After about 30 or so minutes of play, I start to get sub 10fps which slowly drops even more. This fps drop stutters my whole system and the only way to fix is to restart Tera. This is the only game where this happens so I'm positive it isn't hardware related.

Specs:
i5-6600k
16GB DDR4 Memory
GTX 1060

If anyone can shed some light on this issue I would appreciate it.

    I've said this in a number of threads, and it may not be the case for you, but in case you have a game controller plugged in, try unplugging it. There is a memory leak in TERA that impacts certain USB game controllers, and usually the memory leak goes away right away simply by unplugging the controller (no need to restart the game or anything).

    Like I said, it could be something else... but this is by far the most common cause I've seen for this problem.

    Hmm, I do have an adapter for Gamecube controllers plugged in. I don't actually use the controller, though. Thanks for the suggestion, I can give it a shot.

    I've been having low fps problems since this patch. And only thing plugged in is a mouse.

    The controller/USB memory leak issue isn't for general performance, just this specific kind of marked degradation over time. If you're getting overall performance degradation suddenly after a patch, I'd be inclined to disable Windows Defender and temporarily disable your anti-virus to see if that helps, and also to try downgrading/upgrading your video card drivers.

    As counterpoint said, this is over time, I had the same issue and counter pointed it out for me that its my controller, after unplugging it it works and tera ran at the normal fps

    Tera is Just broken... It's not your PC from your specs it looks decent enough. Developers have not modified the game to run with high end PC hardware. I have the same issue I run w7 i7-6700HQ 16gb Ram Nvidia 970M.

    As you can see my specs are amazing! yet I still get 30-40 Fps... Yes, that's low for a $1900 laptop.

    TERA Sucks!!
    It's always nice to have technical versed people here in the forums helping you out. Oops, I quoted the wrong one. This one didnt help out but only wanted to show off his money. Funny thing is, this poster mentioned in another thread that apparently he cant afford a $15 Elite subscription. Life must be damn hard with a $1900 laptop.

    Well I'll have more or less the specs of the OP in 2weeks (same nvidia card 6gb vram but i5 6500 - 8GB ram DDR4)

    Currently playing on a I5 2410 - 4GB RAM - GT 540 for years (run fine, with a few fps drop in raid dungeon like DFHM/WH but i rarely go in these dungeons anyway) hope i wont have the same issue Day1 :( or i'll cry T.T

    Have you tried disabling the .bik intro videos?

    It remains unclear just how much of an impact they have, but I certainly noticed a performance boost (or rather, a lack of performance loss) over longer sessions of play.

    Also topkek @ that guy trying to flaunt his ebin 970M and HQ processor. It sure is a mystery as to why his fps is in the shitter B)
