Fear 1 low performance

Nevakonaza · 26 Dec 2013 at 18:52

Started playing Fear,The first one.

Getting bad performance with only 20 ish fps and according to MSI afterburner OSD its only using 29% of my GPU power?

Anyone know whats up?

You`re getting better performance than I was. Spent a good few hours googling and then gave up. Apparently just a really bad engine.

Edit: I do remember some found an issue with logitech keyboard and mice. Wasnt any use to me though

Interesting,I have both Logitech mouse and keyboard.

I think F.E.A.R runs better on ATi / AMD cards (that isn't to say it runs poorly on Nvidia gpus), though I've never had anything like that poor level of performance on any card.

I'd ask on the Steam forums :

That fixed it,cheers!

Its now using 80 odd % Gpu usage and Just under 300fps

smooth.

Bit of an annoyance if il have to disable them all the time before i play but at least it works.

Great, great game with an excellent story line. Probably in my top ten all time favourite games, and one I like to replay at least once a year. :cool:

The first expansion has the same issue with Logitech mice but it was resolved in the second one.

I must have been lucky, as I've had no issues with my G400 and the main game.
