I used to have 70 fps on five-speed, but in December I haven't had much time to play. when I started playing again the game barely maintains 30 faps and has frequent lag spikes. I haven't found anyone with a similar problem. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it, updates all the drivers, deleted steam, and reinstalled it also, and tried old versions but nothing helped. Any tips?

Don't measure frame rate on speed 5 - only use speed 4.

Speed 5 is literally - run as fast as possible, dropping frames if necessary.
Speed 4 is a fixed speed and thus will always try to render.

To see how fast the game is running time how long it takes a day/month/year to pass.

If your whole game is running slow, as opposed to just dropping frames, then check against other games - if everything else is running badly you might have a overheating issue or a hardware fault.

at speed 5 the game obviously runs faster, but fps drop below 30 and I experience frequent lag spikes which didn't happen before. I would understand if the game always ran at this speed, but it used to maintain 70 fps on problem
