Here is the thing, a month ago I was playing FTL on my laptop on Steam normally at 60 fps, but after giving it a rest the game(and also the Binding of Isaac Rebirth), dropped the framerate to unplayable.
The weird part is that when I use the FTL.exe out of Steam it works normally at 60 fps.
What is happening? Playing games like Risk of Rain or Nuclear Throne on Steam works normally. But playing FTL (and Isaac) while using Steam don't.
My drivers are up to date. It's a Steam problem?
FPS drops to 10 ~ 15 just when I'm using Steam

If your drivers are all up to date, it's not crashing, and it's only happening in Steam, then yes, this sounds like a Steam problem, but we can still do some troubleshooting. Does it matter whether the game is fullscreen or windowed? Any difference between the two?

No, it doesn't do any difference. It still the same, even with borders.

It's probably something to do with Steam, but if you want to keep troubleshooting (and probably don't want all your system specs here in public) could you send me an email? techsupport@ftlgame.com

Just one thing before proceed, if the problem is Steam, should I reinstall it again?
First time reinstalling Steam, and I'm wondering if FTL and my other games will dissapear or stay there after uninstalling and installing again.
I want to try that first and post results on email if that doesnt work, but Im scared if I loose all my games.

If you REALLY want to uninstall and reinstall Steam itself, you can save your games and not have to download them by:
1. Move the subfolder /steamapps/ in a safe place before uninstalling Steam, then do the following steps.
2. Uninstall Steam.
3. Reinstall Steam.
4. Launch Steam.
5. Exit Steam.
6. Move the content of your /steamapps/ backup to the new /steamapps/ subfolder.
7. Relaunch Steam.

Welp, it seems like it was a Steam problem.
I don't how it happened tho.
Thanks, it's nice to see support for this amazing game after all these years.
