Unofficial : Significant performance loss when panning camera [any angle, any arc]

[Raist]

one important thing needs to be taken into consideration when testing for this, and that is to avoid the "hotspots" when panning. For instance, an earlier post mentioned a high FPS drop when the inn was snapped into focus. That inn might be one of the spots where there is a rendering issue in general that causes a major drop in FPS regardless if the view is snapped there or you move casually that way as you walk. I've only confirmed this to be an issue with Hawthorne Hut so far (it's where I tested my graphics settings), but I'm sure there are other locations on other maps that also cause a significant drop in frame rate when your camera angle is aimed towards it. If your panning angle cuts across such a location, it is going to make your frame rate dive suddenly because that location has come into the potential viewing angle--not just because you are panning.
