Terrible performance in GTA 5 enhanced

I get 9 fps 1%Lows in GTA 5 enhanced if I disable File Shield i get 50 fps more. I have tried making a exception but that don’t work.

How old is your PC? The game might be struggling to load data and have it scanned by Avast at the same time. Especially without an SSD and a slow CPU and memory.

Do you meet the minimum specs for the game? They are higher than for the legacy version.

I can’t advise this but with a wildcard it is possible to except the whole game folder from Avast.

RTX 4080
Ryzen 9 5900X
NVMe SSD
32GB of RAM

That should be fine.

Have you tried adding an exception for the whole GTA folder? Just to test if it fixes the dips.

Yes i have tried

What exact line did you use?

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced”

With or without the “”"?

It should work, if indeed File Shield is the culprit, and the problem is in that folder. It shouldn’t even be an issue in the first place.

I have tried this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced*
and stil bad performance

There should be an backslash between Enhanced and the asterisk.

Maybe you wrote that. The forum seems to delete it when I type it also.

The problem may be something else though.

The forum delete it

Maybe File Shield scans other folders not directly tied to GTA and somehow that slows things down. I don’t know.

I have never experienced it before in any other game.
It could maybe be the kernel-based anti-cheat.

Could be. Maybe report it to Avast directly.

Then also add BattlEye folder to exceptions

The one in the GTA 5 folder? I have already tried it

I think GTA or some thing have been updated so now it has the expected performance
