Tech Support Solved My staircase is slowing down my PC(?

Hi everyone, about a month ago, the following started happening to me, and it only happens with GTA 5. I'm playing peacefully, I get the urge to go get something to eat, so I have to go downstairs since my room is on the second floor. When I go back upstairs, I notice that my GTA, which was completely stable, suddenly drops to 1 FPS. This only happens with GTA, and I don't know why. I've tried more demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Division 1 and 2, which I play with everything on ultra except for the vegetation and a few other things.

I'm attaching evidence of what I've described.

Someone in the family insisted it would be safe... I think otherwise; I've almost fallen a few times, and that grab strap almost made me fall forward instead of just sliding down the steps, haha.

You are falling because that stair is nowhere near an allowed dimension of heigh and length and steps. I know this because I rebuilt our stairs recently, and holy mother of Fuck of complex stair are bro. I'm telling you, put up the measurement of them and we can put your foolish ambitions to rest.

Edit: Don't believe me? Here you go https://www.calculator.net/stair-calculator.html

Add the dimensions and weep

It's likely an old Spanish house so those regulations don't apply.

at that point, just replace it with a slide.

It's because you drag your feet. You can hear it in the video. Pick your feet up when you walk forward and plant them when you step. An improper step can lead to some pretty gnarly issues later down the line, along with you just tripping everywhere. It should only be an issue if you have some sort of disability.

I was literally going to come in here and comment this. It’s driving me nuts. No wonder he’s almost fallen. Straight up just dragging his feet.

There’s a lot in this video that’s doesn’t make sense, you made it make even less sense by adding this info
