Massive frame drops with v5.2

[HankyPanky]

Hope I found the correct place for this. I upgraded from v5.1 HF1 to v5.2, fully, in running the setup and overwrite my existing installatin. Everything was fine, no problems, no errors.

But after upgrading I foun dlots of sceneries now with a massive frame drop. Usually I have locked my fps to 30, which I reach with most of the addons. NOw it went down, e.g. HEGN from 30 to 0.3 (!), FSIA only at night to 7, day is still fine. And so on.

Are there any switches not mentioned in a readme that we need to adjust, any setting that needs to be changed?

TIA, also for comments of other users who don't have this. Maybe there is something wrong with my installation?

Your problem is this: "overwrite my existing installatin"

You cannot do that. You have to either:

1. Uninstall the 5.1 client only and then install the 5.2 client only, or

2. Uninstall v. 5.1 completely and then install v. 5.2.

To clear up your situation, try option 2 above.

Thanks for your reply Jorgen.

Yes I overwrite my installation. And I can do that ;-). I restored my previous version due to a good backup I made this time.

Then I restarted the v5.2 setup, asking me for uninstall or repair, I choosed repair.

The "secret" is to clear the shader cache. After doing this everything is fine and runs as expected.

It is not the recommended method, Dieter, but if it works for you I shall not complain!
