I decided to download a few games from my Direct2Drive account so I could play them once more. The games are a little older (Condemned: Criminal Origins, F.E.A.R. and Thief: Deadly Shadows).
In both Condemned: Criminal Origins and F.E.A.R., I have strange FPS problems. I will load up the games, begin playing at buttery smooth framerates (60-100), and then all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, at random times, the framerate will drop between 5-15.
I am absolutely sure that it has nothing to do with my computer. My computer can run games like Bioshock, Crysis, Empire: Total War, Mass Effect and more at high settings with few problems. I thought maybe it was a problem with my power supply, but after testing Crysis it's not. Here are the specs:
Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHZ, 4.0 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+
I'm wondering if the problem is the games or simply Direct2Drive. Regardless, I'm not using Direct2Drive anymore and haven't been for years because of Steam. Thanks very much for any assistance.
