Many people are having issues and Jordi knows about it, obviously. That's why he said this:
"Client / DirectX optimizations to increase client performance for both loading and frame rate." - Jordi
Before that last update, nobody complained of framerate issues. After it, many did. Zone 856 runs fine for me. 740 and the immediate zones around it are piss poor frame-wise since the patch, though.
Sure seems someone at notorious read this post.
2 update posts on 1 day, i am so glad they inform us.
Always love it when taken seriously.
