Warning: This may not fix all Lag issues you have with SCP - Containment Breach. This *should* only fix some.
--------------------
How would I fix these FPS Drops?
Locate "options.ini". It should be in the main "SCP - Containment Breach" folder. Open it up with "Notepad" by Right-Clicking the file, and clicking "Open with..." and click "Notepad".
You might want to use Notepad++ a, in opinion, better version of Notepad.
On the other hand, there ARE things you can do to reduce Lag in the Launcher.
--------------------
In any case, here are step-by-step instructions on how to choose the right settings to reduce Lag, in "options.ini".
-Open "options.ini" with Notepad or Notepad++.
-Scroll down the list until you find these:
*framelimit=50
*vsync=1
*bump mapping enabled = 1
*anisotropy=1
*antialias=1
(THEY ARE NOT NEXT TO EACH-OTHER IN THE FILE!)
-Change them then to these:
*framelimit=60 (On some systems, change the "60" to "0" [Without the " "] for better results!)
*vsync=0
*bump mapping enabled = 0
*anisotropy=0
*antialias=0
(Franelimit is what the FPS should be limited under, V-sync smooths out the camera (which causes Lag), Bump Mapping may cause lag. Anisotrophy is unknown, and Anti-alias is the smoothing of diagonal lines and such.)
--------------------
Another way is to change settings in the Launcher.
-Go into the Launcher by double-clicking "SCP-Containment Breach #.#.#.exe".
-Choose the Lowest resolution window for the game.
(Warning: This is a small window, and some things [like the console] are not scaled properly!)
-Choose your main window.
-Keep Launcher enabled.
-Disable Fullscreen.
--------------------
Here are also some things you can do.
(Warning: This may not work for all people!)
-Run the game as Administrator.
-Run the game using this Compatibility mode: "Windows XP: Service Pack 3"
-Try running the game on an older computer.
-Try running the game on a newer computer.
-Get a better PC.
-Close all useless background processes.
-Close all unused programs.
--------------------
If you are really lazy and don't want to change the options.ini yourself, I posted both here.
