    I've got a FPS issue in the game. The FPS would drop to 6 during THWH and it would be only 20 outside of ESD. I think this issue came because yesterday, my laptop entered battery saver mode while I was playing STO. Today, after my laptop has been turned off and back on, the game has this low performance even though the battery is fully charged and I have set the power mode to best performance.

    I also notice now when I play this game, my laptop fans are MUCH quieter and my laptop doesn't get as hot when playing the game.

    Ok this is the weirdest way I've solved my performance issue. Before, I kept restarting my laptop and the FPS was still really low. Then I decided to purposely drop my laptop's battery to initiate battery saver mode without the game running. Then, after charging it up I restarted my computer and STO is now running at 60 FPS outside of ESD. Smile

    Do you run a third party antivirus and windows defender? If so I've found that adding an exception for the STO folder in Windows Defender stops FPS drops in the game, at least for me. Might be worth a try.

    I made an exception for my logs folder. Found whenever I turned on parsing to run ISE my machine nearly stalled recently but the AV protection exception helps.

    The FPS drop only occurred after my laptop went down to about 10% battery and thus went into battery saver mode. The issue was that the FPS continued to be horrible after I charged up my laptop (STO was still running while I charged it). I think STO bugged my battery saver mode to make it ALWAYS be on, even when I reset my laptop. When I ran STO, my fans would be much quieter even in the middle of combat.

    So, when I purposely allowed my laptop to enter battery saver mode without STO running (99% of the time I keep my laptop fully charged) and charged it back up, the issue was fixed and my FPS came back.
