"Random" FPS drops

[romabysen]

Since updating to 1.15.0.3s I'm experiencing random FPS drops. It happens anywhere and any time; driving in the city or in the countryside or just parked at a hotel looking at nothing but the wall. After a short time the FPS drops from the usual 25-30 FPS to a horrible 12-14 FPS and stays there. Here's the kicker though; if I go into the graphic options and turns MLAA or HDR on and off the FPS are back to normal when I go back to the game.

Thermal issue, nothing to do with ETS2. Removed redundant game.log

Since 1.14 and including the 1.15 beta I experience hickups that are not related to autosave.
These usually comes 3 at a time and they don't come at any specific interval. It also feels (but this might just be my imagination) like the FPS is slowly decreasing until one of these triple hickups are encountered, at which point FPS goes back to normal.

If I had to guess I'd say it's from streaming new parts of the map.

[ohaha]

Topics merged. Let's keep it in one place.
Thanks

[romabysen]

These are two different issues though. The triples stutter is different from the random framedrop.
The triples stutter only lasts for a few seconds while the random drop lasts until I make the change in the graphics options.

[romabysen]

It turns out that the '"Random" FPS drops' was due to thermal performance limiting in the GPU and was elegantly solved by turning on Economic vsync. Hopefully no-one wasted any time on solving this.
The triple stutter is still a real issue though.

[Reece]

I get this as well but I blamed it on Win XP (32 bit), I notice you have Windows 8, isn't 6Gb a bit low, I would have thought 8Gb minimum.

[romabysen]

6GB is just fine.
I don't think it has anything to do with XP or memory since Sabr has also noticed this issue. In fact, I think it's possible that people think this and the autosave stutter are one and the same and that's why not more people have reported it.

[SabR]

I'm on Win 7 x64 with 8gigs and since yesterday i'm playing on a deliberately set, constant 24fps. The game's quite smooth till these stutters strike. The cause of these stutters are unknown to me coz on few occasions the console displayed 'storing cvars' and at other times there was nothing when they attacked. This was on both 32bit as well as 64bit. I noticed VM on 32bit didnt go past 2900 approx and 3350 on 64bit. Dont know if having physical RAM more than 4GB is of any help. This makes me wonder if that VM stands for virtual memory or video memory? If virtual memory, wouldn't the game benefit from using the speedier physical RAM than an allotted amount of HDD space? --> need to google on this point.

Later today I'm going to check for these stutters in a complete offline mode.

[SabR]

The autosave on v1.15.1 is super smooth now. No more hiccups in the five minutes of gameplay. Think I still experienced brief pauses but that could be my hardware. Will confirm later.

Thank you SCS.

[JESAN]

I had this stuttering issue too before but switching from I3 3.6ghz to I5 3.5ghz 4690 solved it almost completely.I can hear turboboost (Intel ventirad noise ) when the game autosaves
Now that SCS worked on that I have no pb at all (thanks)
I purchased a SSD first but it only makes loading faster
