    Half of my games are suddenly running at exactly 1fps


    Hi guys, hope this is the right board for this question, as it appears it could be PC-software-related as opposed to any specific game or hardware.

    In the last couple of days I've had a bizarre issue where many, but not all, of my steam games have started running at 1fps, where they normally would run at 60fps fine.

    I've had a really hard time trying to troubleshoot this. I've tried sfc/ scannow, I've tried reinstalling NVIDIA drivers with DDU, I've tried rolling back to older graphics drivers, I've reset all my hardware to factory clocks, I've done all windows updates, I've reinstalled the games, moved them to a different drive, updated my BIOS, disabled steam overlay, and wiped steam download cache.

    Games such as Fall guys, Assetto Corsa, Rocket League and Killing Floor have this problem. CS:GO and Warzone do not.

    Assetto corsa, as a racing game, has a lap time stopwatch that counts up in-game. Weirdly, this stopwatch showed that ever frame that I was getting was EXACTLY 1 second apart. I.e, the stopwatch would show 30.554, 31.554, 32.554, and so on.

    I'm running on W10 Pro v2004, with a gtx 1660s and an i5 4690k.

    Do you guys have any ideas for troubleshooting this issue? I'm really at a loss for ideas.

    :)

    Wanting to run old games

    Hi Jameson,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

    Explore Windows 10 OS, Computers, Apps, & More | Microsoft

    You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
    Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.


          • Right-click on the game setup file and click on
            ‘properties’.

          • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
            ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

    Unable to run a game on Windows 10.

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    - When you say 'ive tried troubleshooting', what are you referring to?

    - Did you check in compatibility mode?

    I suggest to run the game in compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the game and click on properties.

    • Under Compatibility tab, check the option for ‘Run in Compatibility mode’.

    • Select Windows 8.1 from the drop down list.

    • Click on Apply and then OK.


    Please revert with all the necessary information and we will be happy to help you.

    Games folder suddenly empty Windows 10

    Using Windows 10. This morning the games folder was suddenly empty. I found instructions that were for Windows 7 on how to turn on games, and tried to use the same method, but when I went to "turn windows features on and off" in the Windows 10 control
    panel, 'games' isn't on the list. Any suggestions?
