City exploration finds worth checking (NA servers)

Every guide I can find skips the part I am actually stuck on. What actually changed my results was slowing down and reading the tooltips properly instead of rushing.

Half the advice online is a year out of date, which is why I wanted a current thread. Let me know if more detail would help.

For what it is worth, measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

Worth checking first: this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

This comes up a lot, so: this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

In my testing, the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

The usual fix here is temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

From experience, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

This is the bit people miss — verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

Others may have a cleaner method.

Not the answer you want, but that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

Short version: if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

Quick correction to the above: ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

Depends on your setup, but broadly region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

Same boat here. that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

Worth checking first: check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

Quick correction to the above: the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

Others may have a cleaner method.

I went through this last month. the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.
