Game is lagging and doesn't have the fps it had before, I hate this error and want to get it fixed.

About 2 months ago, I was modding gta 5, and then the Data (D:/) is suddenly gone. So I used my Windows (C:/) Drive, and the performance is absolute trash. Like when I'm driving a car, I've stopped pressing the W key and it goes on for like 5 seconds more, this happens with a character or anything. And I also could exit with the windows key, but now I can only exit with Ctrl + Esc, and whatever quality the game is set to, the system gets set to that quality, please fix this.

I believe your problems extend beyond the game. I doubt anyone here will be able to help you, it sounds like a problem with your computer, and not the game.
-
@transport Make sure you are running the game on a HDD at least. A SSD if you have one. Externa; HDDs are not the best for running games as the read/write rates. If it is on a HDD or SSD then I am not sure how to solve this issue.
-
@Kieran_S, I'm using the primary HDD, (C:/) I've encountered this on the first time I installed it. Thing is that I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.
-
@transport Ah OK, I'm not sure then. I make sure:
- There are no unneeded scripts as they can slow the game down.
- There isn't malware or anything on the PC ofcourse.
- If you have graphic mods then try without them.
If none of that works then maybe try looking on YT or I know there was a couple times reinstalling windows fixed it for me but that is a long and awkward process.
-
@Kieran_S, Almost of those apply, I don't have malware, I didn't have graphics mods and it was still slow, and there are no unneeded scripts.
-
@transport Hmmm OK, I'm not to sure maybe try verifying game file if you are using steam and if not then maybe try reinstalling the game. If that does not work then I have no clue. What hardware do you have?
-
If you have downloaded cars that has 2k n up resolution with 32 bit textures and you have weak gpu then you will end up getting fps freezing problem like you are experiencing.. you need to optimize those textures in photoshop.
-
@MurkyMamba, Sorry if I seem a little unintelligent, but what is a hardware name?
-
@transport It is the specs of your PC so the CPU, GPU etc.
-
@MurkyMamba, my GPU is Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 GPU. My Processor (the CPU, right?) Is 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (2.60GHz 6MB), and the ram is 16 GB DDR4 2133Mhz. This is the correct info, right?
-
you must try uninstalling openiv.asi and load the game without mods first , now if it gets back with normal fps without freezing then it is confirmed that it is some add on cars you downloaded which causing it that I am talking about.
-
@jamesays, Ever since I installed it on C:/ the issue started. Plus, I had 300+ car mods and it didn't lag on the D : \ drive. So it's not the amount of cars I have. ._.
-
because basically the game needs big free space in your hdd which suppose it to be installed. , the game needs at least 30gb+ free of space enable to run it smooth, also if C drive is a System OS partition then it also needs to breath ,so if your drive :C has lesser space then you should not put gtaV game folder there.
-
@jamesays, I had no option but to install it on C:/ Did you read what I wrote?
-
well , in that case you still need to free up space in drive C , win10 OS needs 15gb + of space to breath and your gta5 needs 30gb+ free of space enable to operate properly . if you don't follow that ethic then it will have fps lag forever. . that is standard for triple AAA gaming, no free enough free space no good permorfance.
-
@jamesays, Darn, the Data (D:/) was the only one to handle the game.
-
Ok. I just fixed it, here's how I fixed it.
This was a very strange solution, so I decided to turn off microphone access. (for voice) When I got back to GTA 5, The keys synced so well with the game. I just turned it back on to make sure it was that. And when I did, the game lagged, and the keys did not sync with the game. I was now sure that it was that and I quickly turned it off. I now can play the game with a little sacrifice of not allowing the microphone.
