Hi all,

I have a PC for most of my gaming time, but a couple of days a week I'm away from home and I have a Macbook Pro (Sep 2012 model) running bootcamp to play the game.

During beta and a couple of weeks after launch, I had no problem playing on the lowest settings. It wasn't silky smooth but it was easily playable, I could dodge attacks just fine, etc.

Lately however, I've had some issues that make the game unplayable. Apparently I'm still getting 20-30 FPS which is fine, but the game slows down every 2-3 seconds then speeds back up to normal. The response time between me pressing forward to move and my character actually moving is about half a second to 1 second long. This never was an issue before and I could do end game dungeons and primal fights very comfortably.

Has something changed after a maintenance patch that effected lower end machines? I have updated my video driver to the latest available but that hasn't helped much, but I was wondering if there's any tricks I'm missing to help.

Some info:

Macbook Pro 2012 September edition
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Core i5 2.5Ghz
8GB Ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000 512mb

The in game settings are all the lowest possible, and everything is off. I have 5gb of free space left if that could be an issue?

Many thanks.
