Update causing heavy lag?!

[The Jamhead]

I'm getting the graphical stuttering (which I didnt have before), along with the "world disappearing" flickering issue (which I did). Had the flickering twice inside of 20 minutes, both times eventually caused the game to hang. I can usually play through the flicker and it resets itself, but after GU2 it seems to definitely be worse.

FPS for me is up from an average of 30 to an average of 40. Heavily populated areas seem to drop no lower than 25, whereas before it did really suffer.

Same as others, unplayable at the moment, to many stuttering + unlimited amount of flickering to the point of shut down the game and restart, now i just stop playing due the state of prolonged rage i was entering.

Game was working for me very well before GU2 now I´m having like 5 fps or even less in heavy load, with all in low and render to 3k.

I´m ATI graphic card user.

For the most part, better performance on my potato, except for ONE location.

Regent Rock Garrison. For some reason, I dip down to a single frame. One.
I know I'm already crazy for running PS2 on a barely-under minimum req potato, but...really? One?

Hey. Everyone has got the Problems also we in Germany. Only thing what we can do waiting.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not

Stuttering is insane atm, not sure what's causing it.

What graphic card do you have?

[Rolfski]

I just switched from prime-time Miller to prime time Mattherson: Miller = unplayable, Mattherson seems to be fine.

My performance took a gigantic, and I mean huge, nosedive as well. It's almost unplayable and I've always had low settings.

Connery gave me a lot of lag and the hotfix didn't seem to improve it. So far the overall performance has been worse compared to pre-patch. Hopefully it will get sorted out soon

The patch seems to have improved things a little (or maybe it's just the low server loads). However I'm still having the weirdest things happen to me. Some examples:

-Vanguard main cannon firing blanks.
-Hostiles popping up in one place then blinking off screen and appearing somewhere else the next moment.

Still far from an enjoyable experience. They should test these patches on a test server, on a wide range of machines.

I have no issues with fps drops whatsoever, nor firing blanks. Several other members in my outfit have experienced the aforementioned issues a lot though. We all have had frequent disconnections however.

Those who HAVE NO ISSUES - please share your graphic card!

Edit: Well, at least it seems to be that both, NVIDIA and AMD/ATI have the same problem. Otherwise, currently it seems to affect the most models, while other specific models seem to work fine, experiencing a "huge" improvement.

Probably server-side problem?
