So I have a brand new gaming laptop and most of the time it runs the game great but I do experience lag on it every so often (usually at least once per gaming session). I switched on the FPS counter and while most of the time my FPS is at about 100- 150, at the times where the game starts to lag the fps drops to 20-30. The game gets over it if I pause for a while or go to map view but I can't help but think this shouldn't be happening.
I've tried updating my drivers, clearing my cache, repairing the game, removing my mods, deleting my screenshots - all to no avail. I do play on ultra but my laptop should be able to handle that.
Should this be happening? If not, how can I fix it?
Here is (some of) my DxDiag report (full report attached):

Have a look here and please check for an update to your BIOS.

@kreatora thank you. I did update the BIOS a two days ago because of this issue but I suppose I can see if there has been another update during that time.

@kreatora You’re right. I just checked and I have the latest BIOS. Hmmm I do sometimes play offline but I could try disconnecting from the internet altogether and see if that helps. My modem is 4 years old so not very new.

I forget to ask you. Have you any graphics program running in the background? If yes turn it off.
Another reason to frame rate drop-in game

@kreatora what sort of graphics program would that be? Like Nvidia container or Intel HD graphics drivers?

Thank you @kreatora no I don’t use any programmes like that.
