ME3 framerate degrading

[Luke]

I've been having some issues with ME3 lately. That is to say, the first day I got it I hadn't a single issue.

The next day however, I noticed that after maybe 45 minutes of playing I was getting noticeable lag. To my surprise, it had dropped to about 24 FPS, and it kept dropping until I quit the game.

Each time I start it up I get a consistent 60 FPS, then it drops to 50, then 40, then hovers at 30 for awhile, then 28, 25, 23... Etc.

It's dreadfully annoying, does anyone have some kind of insight to this or a fix available? It'd be greatly appreciated.

I am not familiar with ME3 however it sounds like either overheating, or a memory leak.

Sounds like a memory leak, though I can't say I've ran into this at all. Steady 60 FPS for hours at a time.

Yeah it feels like a memory leak as well, however it didn't happen on the first day (and nothing changed or updated AFAIK) and I have plenty of memory (Not that it's using it, wonder if I can force it to use more memory)

It's just odd considering I seem to be the only one having this issue, google search seems to reveal nothing. Don't know what I expected putting it up on here, old sage advice maybe?

I'm getting the same problem, although windows has been a bitch lately.

The game is also deleting itself as a shortcut from steam. Really annoying.

EA strikes again. I mean what?
