I had a similar problem to this about 14 months ago when I built a new pc and switched from amd to NVidia graphics card(gtx 1050 Ti ). At the time I was playing another old game Everquest. it would hardly run at all 5fps really laggy in game. After a lot of messing about I found the problem was somehow linked to the win10 update that introduced the xbox game bar and game streaming crap. something about that win10 update, NVidia cards and the xbox game casting doesn't work right with older games. I disabled it managed to get the game working and have no issues on FAF with regards to game performance on an NVidia card. hope this gives you some new insight on how to fix your problem maybe.

You can disable the fullscreen optimizations in the compatibilities options I think.
Maybe it could be caused by a difference in the Driver between W10 and W7 versions.

No.

I find it has the lag issue when you play a single player game or replay and you increased or decreased the game speed (going from 0 to +10 then back down again to 0). The next multiplayer game you play gets the lag. To fix you need to restart the game.

I preferred Win 7 myself, but I know the game was playing fine on Win 10 until I reinstalled the PC.

Just have to say, after months of suffering, I tried Win 7 today and it was pure bliss to play again.
If anyone else suffers poor performance, try "upgrading" from Win 10.

The difference is really huge, with Win 10 there was UI lag and stuttering from min 0 in any game/replay and it could get very bad later on, like 20 fps at min 15 or 8 fps at min 30, with horrible stuttering and UI lag. (Yes, I have tried 100% fresh win 10 installs on separate ssd's with different drivers and whatnot)

The game attached got insane connection issues right after someone disconnected. Artifax was the first person to disconnect, and right after that NUDAX had a desynch. The lag issues seemed to come from him. Or between him and one other person specifically. I did not notice any framedrops but the connection lag was so big you wouldn't notice those anyway.

I added the game log as well.

Hm.
I just played a couple of games and I also noticed a slight reduction in FPS after the the connection screen. Though it was only about 5 FPS and not night and day as in your case.
For me it was mostly "general" bad performance in the sense that my performance was just bad all around. Much worse that a couple of patches ago. Weird that my FPS now doesnt steeply drop to 25 anymore and does this instead now .
I will play some more games and see how it works out.

EDIT: Okay I played a couple more games, and I can now confirm that I have the same issue. After the connection screen my FPS drops by a lot, in both replays and games.
However I don't know why I have games where this isn't the case...

Ok I pretty much confirmed FPS issues are related to connectivity/replays desyncing.

Just played my third game where I noticed this clearly, replay #8499230.
At min 35 one player dropped, we got the connection screen and waited until everyone ejected him. After the connection screen went away, the FPS tanked like it has been doing. Three times can't be a coincidence now.
Haven't had time to watch replay yet if it desyncs around that time, I bet it does.

EDIT:
Watched replay, it indeed desyncs at the time when FPS in-game tanked. Replay FPS is fine though.

Since a few weeks ago i have random fps drops from around 80-90 to 5-10, which resolves itself after about half a minute

Finally someone else with my problem, I've tried pretty much everything already. Replays run fine for me too, game just starts having fps problems out of nowhere since a few months back.

i5 3570k @ 4.7
GTX 770
Temps are fine, clocks are steady and usage % not even high. Had no problems previously with same parts, new SSD and fresh windows installation did nothing.

In one game the fps problems started after connection screen went away and a player dropped (the replay desyncs at that point). In another game with fps problems, the replay desyncs at same time when fps problems started while playing. Could just be a coincidence, but could you try to note down when the FPS change happens and check replay for desyncs around that time? I suspect some game patch/client update is behind this.
