The Witcher 3 Has suddenly begun lagging
So this recent Windows 10 update made all my other games lag as if my hardware was on fire. Before the update happend, everything ran like a knife through butter. And this annoyed me,so i unistalled Win10 and reinstalled Win7 64, The installation went perfect. Thanksfully i was able to figure out why that was the case (game settings) However, despite all my technical effort, The Witcher 3 still keeps on lagging. I remember disabling GOG overlay which i believe to have caused the game to missing the intro and going straight to the main menu. Reinstalling The Witcher 3 hasn't changed anything. The menu and the loading screen runs perfect. Once it is about to load the ingame it will start to slow down. Like i said there were no performance problem with The Witcher 3 prior to the update. I played it at 60 fps with a mix of medium-high stettings. Now it's not really "lagging" it is more like as if the game is drunk and slow like slowmotion. Since Reinstalling doesn't work will i have to rebuy The Witcher 3? This update must have changed something. Perhaps an unkown setting? Missing driver? Registry? Should i reinstall Win10?
Here's what i have tried;
-Changing the graphic options to no avail
-Changing the 3D options in Nvidia Control Panel
-Changing the user.stettings
-Deleting user.bak
-Verify/Repair
-Reinstalled Witcher 3 multiple times
-Reinstalled two different nvidia drivers in safemode (August and latest)
-Unistalling/Reinstalling Graphic Card Driver at device manager in safemode
-Set it to run Witcher 3 in high priority
-Set it to run Witcher 3 in Win7 compatibility
-Set The Witcher 3 to run with dedicated graphic card
-Enabled/Disable CPU cores usage
