Please help - FPS Lag ingame ONLY

[Goldberg]

The fps could happen when the game get's "moved" to the second core.

I know it's possible to disable that and let the game only run on one core.

Otherwise, it could be your HDD/SSD/SSHD. It's easy to check if you have a second monitor, otherwise start the game in window mode and keep a eye on the HDD workload. (Taskmanager) If your HDD/SSD/SSHD goes up to 100% it could give you lag spikes, because the hdd is to slow to load the stuff from the game.

Is Freelancer running on more than one core of your FX 6300? You might have better luck changing its affinity to a single one, as I had to do that with mine. Otherwise it sounds like it isn't using your GPU, but rather the integrated graphics on the CPU.

I've honestly, never done this before so wouldn't know how to do it.

Go into task manager , processes, right click on disco ( it has to be running), set affinity and then select the number of cores.
