Extreme fps drop 1st person mode only

[ddub30]

Hello everyone,

 

i7 2600k oc to 4.8 ghz

EVGA GTX 570 sli oc to 850 core / 2100 mem (latest beta drivers)

Ripjaw X 1866 cas 8

Asus Maximux Extreme IV

OCZ Revodrive 120gig

Asus Xonar Essence STX

Win. 7 64 bit / 1920x1080

 

I have tweaked basic ini settings to allow trees and rocks to draw shadows and perhaps one or two other ini tweaks, nothing crazy. Additionally, I have a lot of texture packs and shader packs. I tested each add-on one at a time to ensure that they weren't the cause. Also, I reset the ini files to default as a debug attempt, which didn't fix the problem either.

 

Now, my problem. The game runs flawlessly in every location, 60 frames, except first person mode indoors when i am near / looking at candles, flames, or any light source. My frame rate and GPU usage drops from 60 to ~10 frames and 80-100% to ~50% gpu usage. Exiting first person mode immediately fixes the problem, 60 frames and high gpu usage.

 

Perhaps i should record it and post it via youtube so you can visually see what i am talking about, but i feel that is unnecessary. My explanation is literal of what is occuring.

 

I'm sure reinstalling would undoubtedly fix the problem, but thats the last option on my list.

i have exactly the same problem and as iv beens earching on google , several other people have the same problem too, when in first person the game would lag and fps drop but if switch to 3rd person , game run flawlessly , exactly the same spot , no matter where

Many people have this problem. Reinstalling and or removing your mods will not help. As of yet i have found no solutions.
