It might help if you could reveal your full ACER model number. There are hundreds of different models and hard to guess which one you have.

If you've had the laptop for more than a year of game playing, intermittent FPS drops suggest that you need to repaste the heat sink to the CPU/GPU with ArcticMX4 or Kryonaut thermal conductive paste. This is normal maintenance that should be done periodically.

Sorry, while this model is suitable for medium power demand gaming, it is not considered a true gaming laptop.  It does not have an independent graphics adapter with it's own memory that is recommended for this game. Accordingly, the game's power depends are placed entirely on the CPU chip and its integrated graphics adapter and heats up.  Once CPU temps reach about 90*C, it starts to throttle power output to reduce temperature and the game will start to stutter. About all I can recommend is to make sure the laptop airvents are clear and sitting well above a hard surface and perhaps get an auxiliary laptop cooler.
