The optimization hotfix did nothing.

I used to get 60 FPS at the always crowded Indar warpgate. Now I am getting around 40-45. I used to get 40-45 FPS at large fights at tech plants. Now I get 20-25 FPS. The hotfix did nothing for me.

Please SOE, you're my only hope!

I tested it briefly, and it seemed to make things slightly better, though fps is still down.

I logged in and had 60-65 FPS at warpgate.

I used to have 95-110.

holy heck.... a lousy 20fps on a 3770?
Now I'm downright afraid to even try logging in on my dualcore. I was gonna after the hotfix, but not anymore

Thanks for the PSA

I'm still getting intermittent drops to unplayable levels. I'm really not sure whats up. It sort of resolved the problem in some areas for me.

Ok, I relogged not long ago and this time the game downloaded a 40MB patch, NOW the performance is much better. Though, for some reason, my FPS/stutter took a nasty hit at Mao Tech plant, this may have been related to me being in a Scythe, it's hard for me to determine. Also ammo towers still seem to load in dangerously late.

They already put the hotfix in why does it say at 4 pm PDT on the 14th ?

SLI 680's - Overclocked i5 2500k - 16gb ram - 500gb solid state - less than 25fps in a medium battle.

Not to be that guy thats ragging on an already aware situation, but wouldn't they have seen that problem while testing the update?

I had to go from Ultra graphics 60 fps to medium graphics. On medium I am getting about 35 fps. WTF?

Better but the problem's not resolved.

Did anyone honestly expect something else at this point?

disgusted at this repeating issue every patch. fix the framerate!

it made it worse.

This is just BAD. The game has never been as broken as it currently is.

Performance issues are really the biggest problem with this game. Its the main reason people are leaving and the main reason we don't have more people coming in to play.

Its not OP Prowlers, or any other "balance" issue.

FIX THE FPS

Read the forums throughout the day, and didn't think it would be too bad when I logged in. Massive drop to 30ish FPS in Amerish WG and 15-20 in a small to medium battle. I love the game so I may login again before this is fixed, but SOE needs to better test and take baby steps if FPS is on the line.

Four months since release and beta back in October was a much more enjoyable experience. Probably getting near time to call it quits, this game is going nowhere fast.

Patch did nothing for me too.
8 Gigs of RAM
Intel Core i7-2600k 3.4 Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 7870 running the latest drivers
20-25 frames just about anywhere.

I honestly haven't bothered logging on. I've been tempted to...but facing such poor performance I'm discouraged from playing PS2 and encouraged to spend my time playing other games. This performance hit on top of the removal of the option of entering a renderdistance lower than 1000m in useroptions makes for a hell of a bad patch experience...why the hell does SOE care if I want to get killed by vehicles and aircraft I don't see because I set my renderdistance to 300m.

Odd, I haven't noticed any change. I have the same specs as you except for the graphics, I have a GTX 680. I play on a mix of High and ultra and get a reliable 45-55 in large combat, I have always gotten that nothing has changed for me.
