So ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 the NL1 simulator has been nearly unusable due to FPS drops. It seems to consistently drop to 30 and hold there but it will dip lower with complex scenes. Before Windows 10 it was always pegged at 60 (with V-sync). I can make it come back up to 60 by pressing the Windows key on the keyboard but it will drop again when the train comes into view. I assume it's a driver issue because it's never been a problem before. I have a GTX760 if that info is relevant. Any help would be appreciated because I kinda sorta want to start building coasters again and I do all my work through NL1 and port it to NL2. Thanks in advance.

Try disabling the xbox dvr thing; it has been known to cause performance issues.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

That fixed it. Thank you.

Also I got 84 rides on Boulder Dash yesterday.

Actually might have spoken too soon. It's definitely better but it's still dropping in some parts, but its holding at 30fps and pressing the Windows key makes it jump back up. Is it a theme thing?

Smooth but the train is riding like garbage. It needs to go back to PTC.

Also the first drop to the second drop (curves 3-4-5) is gonna need some work next year, it's getting violent.

This is definitely a V sync issue. When I turn it on it locks at 30 in complex scenes, off it's at ~55. I run dual monitors (though the game only displays on one), would that make a difference?

It still runs the same PTCs it's had since 2008 which were originally on the Hershey Wildcat. (LC's) Wildcat got new GCI trains this year though.

Wow you do have ideal values! I only have around 15 (20 at best lol!) specially when a "really" long Intamin track is in the screen! xD
