Before the Jan 21 patch I was getting max 120fps averaging around 40fps. Now I am usually in the red <20fps and a max of 60fps. My machine is plenty for this game, intel 2500k, 16gigs ram, radeon 7850. What happened? I do notice the glass effect. Results are the same on low or ultra high settings.

First time I have had a frame rate drop too, up until now I have been fine (Since closed beta).
I hope it not due to dumb new glass effect.

Also for me fps drop.... If is the glass please PGI, put a checkbox on Options to disable it!

i notice some performance degradation with this patch, I get periodic stutters in frame rate and notice a lag increase on my adv zoom switching.

I'm almost sure it's the glass rendering. It seems to exist as its own layer of visual information, more like the HUD than the rest of the cockpit.

For me, the glass fails to render about half the time... and sure enough, when it does render, my framerate takes a hit.

Between this, the haze on half the maps, the film grain, and the color correction, I'm beginning to wonder if the art team just hates people.

Same here. This is the first time since closed beta, that my framerate dropped with a new patch. I always limited my framerate to 50fps to go easy on my GPU. Even in big fights, it stayed always over 40. Now its pending between 30 und 45, with beeing around 40 +/- 1 most of the time. This is really a huge hit and really annoying. While I'm certainly not someone who finds having 100fps important, everything below 45-50 just "stutters" way too much. And I already have most of the graphic stuff turned off or to the lowest setting.
