Help please - sudden Framerate drop in AntiCitizen One

[Ranyart]

The game has run smoothly so far at all the recommended settings and at 1280 res with the odd stutter here and there. Then suddenly during the early stages of Anticitizen One my framerate suddenly drops to below 10. I've tried lowering the video settings, lowering the res, rebooting, and defragging but none of these raise the framerate to a playable level.

One thing that I did might have caused it but I can't see how. I tried to run a .dem file through the console (which didn't work anyway).

Help greatly appreciated.

Fix?

I thought having Steam in offline mode might have been the cause...but it wasn't. So I tried an earlier save in Anticitizen and it ran smoothly. I think it might have something to do with those jumper things, you know those mine-thingies that scanners drop. It all started about the time I saw them first. They jump about the place. Then crates and dead bodies started jumping and objects floating in mid-air and half-in, half-out of the walls and floors.

I'll continue with this earlier save and post the results.

Fixed! I restarted from an earlier save and the problem didn't happen again. I've never had this in a game before. However, I did notice that when you pick up a Hopper with the gravity gun it shugles quite a bit before settling down.
