Why can I hardly run this game?

General Drawing is too high. Run it at -8 and you should see a huge dif in FPS.

I started this game with a similar set up and it ran pretty good at "Standard" and decent enough maxing it out without AC and DoF checked.

My PC went from being able to run it at max, to barely running it at high.

Like my FPS dropped to 10 at high (from 60+ consistently at max).

I swear to god this game.

yeah, 1.15 or 1.16 actually made the game worse FPS wise but increased overall UI responsiveness.

Yeah :/ Kinda disappointed seeing as I haven't had to drop settings at all since I made my new PC.

I guess that's out of the window though. I was honestly considering not logging in again, and just waiting for 2.0, but I want to see what happens at the end.

nope, been smooth since day one on my pc, just the connection was hell of slow & laggy back then. the game did DX error though back then alot.

Using fraps to record the game at 60 FPS, I discovered that the UI elements (action bar, log window, status icons, etc) all update every other frame. So the UI is capped at a constant 30 FPS. This isn't a problem just an interesting observation.
