Before the patch i had around 20-23 fps (playing on a 3 year old laptop with dualcore), now my fps is between 8-23 permanently. Even in the menu it goes down on 8-9 when i change between "mechlab" and "skills" for example. This changing of the reaction and the feeling makes it impossible to aim...

Doesnt matter if i chose dx9 or dx11, also i put the settings on low, tried fullscreen, windowed fullscrenn & window...
Damageglow and everything else is switched off, too. Reinstalled the game, tried different settings of user.cfg (just the legal ones, dont worry ) But nothing worked..

Pls take care of this problem PGI, its definitely unplayable (except maybe in a lrm-boat )

[Brixx]

Same here. Already low FPS of around 35 drop even lower. Similar to how it was some patches and months ago, but even worse now.

[QuantumPeep]

DX 9 pre patch 60fps vsynched, lowest 45. Now: stutters, lock-ups, fps as low as 20. DX 11 even worse.

Same problem here.

Strange, I'm running the game on a 5Ghz +i5 but a really old Nvidia 8800 Graphics card and I see no performance drop at all. In fact the game runs smoother than ever.

[Ransack]

Thank you OP. Watching your videos, I see the exact same issue that I am having. DX9 and DX11

so what IS your fps exactly? interesting a card not supporting dx11 doesn't have any issues, perhaps pgi simply broke dx11 again, and maybe the option to go back to dx 9 doesn't actually work....

looks like it... unfortunately i didn't tried to play the game with DX9 after the patch, i instantly switched.
Wonder if it would happened if i tried out playing with DX9 before switching to DX11 and back... :/

Same for me. Updated my video drivers, tried changing my in game video settings, but nothing seems to help. I notice the worst stuttering near water but it is happening on all maps.

[w0rm]

Same here frames dropped from stable 60-70 down to 15-25 in DX9, DX11 is even worse.

Ed.: and yes I did the usual bullshit to fix it (fresh clean mwo, drivers etc)

My card doesn't support DX11 and I'm having issues.

The issue is that motion blur is stuck always on, causing issues when other mechs are moving. It's worse when other mechs are closer, or there are lots of mechs on the screen.

[Blalok]

This is odd - I was having same problem as everyone else here (fps drop to ~30 on low setting, stutters) on one PC with i5 CPU, AMD FirePro gfx card... then I go to other PC (4-yr old i7, GTX 260 - so not capable of dx11) an get a mostly solid 60 fps with occasional drops to 45 on medium setting, and much much less stuttering. wtf?

Tried repair tool on first PC, no errors found. Updated drivers last night, but haven't had the chance to check for performance changes. Will report back later.

*EDIT* - so I was still seeing the stutter problem after upgrading my driver on the FirePro machine, but then I changed the motion blur setting to 'off' (EVEN THOUGH IT ALREADY SHOWED IT BEING SET TO OFF) and *presto-change-o* I'm back to 45-55 fps.

Same issue here, pre patch 70-120 FPS now I've dropped to 45 with spikes down into single digits with DX 9, 30fps with other bugs (partially rendered mechs, wire frame showing in shadows) in DX 11 with FPS drops to the point where it's at 1FPS.

Tried re-install/new drivers no change.
System specs
FX 8350 5.0Ghz, Dual GTX 660's SLI, 16 GB ram

Fix or roll back ASAP please.

Try disabling SLI.

Im getting terrible studdering and slowdown since last patch. It will not go away. Tried reinstalling and different video settings. Core i5 760 @ 3.9 GTX 580. We def need a hotfix somethings borked = /

[JoJoxy]

Add me to the list.

Went from ~50fps at mediumish to 20-40fps on lowest settings. Tried DX9 and DX11, same effect.
I could live with a performance hit, but the ever changing fps makes movement and aiming very wobbly for lack of a better word.

First gen i7 870, Radeon 6870, 8gb, Win8

[LauLiao]

Similar issues here. Frames overall are about the same, but every once in a while, especially at the start of missions and as other people said, when turning or twisting, frames become unstable and fluctuate between my normal average of 45-50ish all the way down to about 15.

[Drop_FF]

It seems like 45 (give or take) is the the maximum now for everyone I've talked to.

I have:
-AMD Athlon X4 760K Richland 3.8 GHz-4.1 turbo (quad core)
-1600MHz Crucial Ballistix 8GB ram
-WD 10000 rpm 1TB HDD SATA III
-XFX radeon HD7870 GHz edition
-MSI A78-E35 motherboard

I had a minimum of 55 fps and maximum of 93 fps, average of about 74-76, then when I patched, even if I (tested on both DX9 and 11) turn the resolution to 1024x768,all setting on low, no anti aliasing, no blur etc, OR turn it all to very high including resolution and MSAA, blur, etc.... minimum of 11 and a max of 45 fps, average about 38 with giant stutters when looking around, blah blah, like everything else mentioned so far. CPU never exceeds 55% and gpu never exceeds 70% or so with everything turned up.

I don't know if it means anything, but when on the testing grounds, the fps changes up or down as it should when changing video settings, I can achieve 200+ fps max/151 minimum with the lowest settings and with the highest settings 96 max and 57 minimum.
