Ever since the recent patch I’ve noticed that while playing with my laptop charger plugged in my FPS appears to drop drastically. From 15-20 fps unplugged, it drops to an unplayable 6-7 fps as soon as I plug my laptop charger in.

I am currently playing on an HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC

Has anyone noticed a similar issue? Found a workaround? Anything would be helpful!

Check your power settings to ensure that it’s configured for maximum performance while plugged in.

There could also be other apps running that is reducing your performance. Updaters and virus scanners for example will generally be configured to run when plugged in, rather than on battery power.
