Did they end up figuring out the reason for the poor performance on large battles?

[Eduard Khil]

Wasn't there talks about the HUD causing the performance problems? opening the map alone causes a nasty bottleneck everytime, yesterday I almost froze (the game slowed down for like 7 seconds) by pressing M while stealthed for some reason, not sure if it could be a bug. Why were they trying to keep optimizing render distance to trick the game into a steady performance?

Alot of people seem quite upset about extremely low frames even at low settings, perhaps they need this in their office.

Has anyone followed up on this?
