On my 2 laptops and 2 desktops after the patch I am seeing FPS drops from 100+ down to 75-80. Disabling the UI gets the FPS back up to 100+.

Something that was changed in the UI has cost a severe performance drop, and it needs to be addressed ASAP.

my laptop, where i run vSync, is getting 32FPS where before I was getting a solid 60FPS before the patch. And, I am sure this is wide spread.

Edit

Attached 2 screenshots from my Laptops ingame settings to show the FPS drop. The SS1 is what the FPS is right after the UI is enabled again, and SS2 is what happens after 2-3 seconds after the UI has ‘settled’. Thats a pretty nasty FPS drop right there.

I am experiencing the same thing, my fps is usally 15-20 because I don’t have the best of systems, but now it is 5fps, but with the ui turned off I return to my normal fps Aswell, this has killed the game for me as 5fps is just unplayable

This makes sense interestingly enough.

I’m about exactly 20 frames less now then before the patch, still playable but noticeable (even more so in fights that you get significant frame loss to begin with). Getting rid of the UI makes it go back to its usual frame rate.

My system normally gets 50-60 and now seeing 20-30 with Camera at Default and “Best Performance” setting. This is definitely a problem.
