FPS drops in CS:GO

Yep, I know. MacBooks aren't game machines but they're able to run CS:GO pretty well.. I have FPS around 150 and my MacBook Air (2014) isnt even using fan and it isn't hot. U know. I play on 4:3 and the lowest resoulution and graphics. But I've got FPS drops that come up randomly and when I got drop I get about 15fps. It's like for 10seconds but in fight it's really bad. I haven't had this problem before. All was running well. OFC I close every app I have been using before as normally. Plz help me m8s..

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 29% battery, Wifi-On,bluetooth-off

Are you using OS version 10.10? Have you checked on the developer's website for help?



Try a restart.


Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.


Isolating an issue by using another user account


If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
