It would be nice to have a solution for this problem which seem to be here for a long while already. I just bought back some game time after few months of break, and now can't get more than 12 FPS.

Date & Time: since 07/17/2018
Frequency: all the time
World Name:Ramuh
Character Name: Tom Borethar
Party or Solo: doesnt matter
Area and Coordinates: anywhere in the game
Steps:
1. I log into the game, then even in the character selection i have low FPS
2.
3.

GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue:

GPU: Nvidia 1060 6GB
Driver Version: 398.36
CPU: i5-4570 3.20GHz
RAM: 24GB
Hard Drive: HDD
OS: Win 10
OS Version: V201703
Graphics Settings: Maximum (even trying on lowest setting, it gives me 12 FPS)
FPS Limit: (System Configuration > Display Settings > FPS Limit) Tried all, no difference

Is there any fix? This is extremely frustrating, especially that now the game is unplayable, and we're paying for the game time...
