Happened after I updated the game to the newest patch (2nd hotfix for the March 4th release).

I’ve lost on average between 10 and 15 FPS since I’ve downloaded the patch. Usually the game is very playable (30 FPS+) except in biggest zergs , but now my FPS is dropping below 30 even when there is nothing going on…

Is anyone else experiencing this ? How do I find if the culprit is the patch or the issue is on my side of things ?

More people are logging in for the new content. This happens to many people every update. It’s a server issue imho.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, this feels more like a performance issue as in hardware/optimization problem. I’m not experiencing any more lag spikes, slowdowns, late responses etc. then usual.

Imagine if you downgraded your CPU/GPU, that’s the feeling I’m getting. Furthermore, I didn’t have this issue when new content rolled out, or the first patch after.
