There was something small, and changed some files.

Not sure if it was the hotfix Higby mentioned, but something was there.

I live in EU, so that was about 6 hours ago for me.

I think that was the small patch from yesterday. Not sure what it did, but didn't have any help with the fps issue.

No changes for me, if it was the small patch last night.

AFAIK, yesterdays patch was about 40 MB in size, and it was to remove double XP, heroic boosts and St.Patrick items.

Yeah. Later there was that 800 something kb patch. There hasn't been a patch today.

edit. There was tweet by higby. Something like "hopefully this is fixed by the update sometime this am". So it might come out in the next few hours or something as soe time zone still has a bit over 2 hours of am left. Hopefully that's the case, I just want to play and european servers still have enough players for like 6 hours.

Connery was MUCH better last night than it was all weekend. Don't confuse your lower fps with the server lag issue that plagued the servers this weekend.

We'll be keeping a close eye on things today as well, but this should be a big help.

This really did help fps. At a big battle in biolab I now had 30-80 fps. 80 when I looked away from fight but 30-50 when there were enemies and teammates around.

I still have a problem with stuttering though. Before gu4 even 30fps was much smoother, but even after this patch 30-40fps feels a lot lower than it is because of stutter. Has there been a lot of reports about this problem? As in, have you looked at the issue?

This is the only game that does it and I've been changing a lot of things back and forth and nothing I can do helps with it. Still, this patch did fix the fps problem and even gave me more fps at fights. So, thanks for probably ruining your weekend to fix it.

Yeah seems fps is back to normal now. It was never great, but it is OK again.

I need to know what settings I should be using then, because I'm in the low 20's at the Crown at the moment and there's not even a fight here.
It still always tells me [CPU], never GPU.

edit: Just to update, it's the same as before except when I'm in an environment with no action. At the Warpgate I now have a steady 90-100FPS, whereas before I had 60-100. However in any battle with a platoon+ of enemy I'm still down in the teens.

you are a hero.

now take some well deserved rest.

but not too much, because you are still needed in the trench.

I'd imagine PS2's player data is pretty huge too.

With that fix you just might be able to bump the total server population for a given zone by a few percent.
