    Up until this release, I could get 60 FPS (could be higher, I just limit my monitor to 60) even while recording video. Ever since R118 went live (and I fixed an issue that had be down to 1 FPS when the release first went live) I've been seeing 45-50 FPS consistently. Anyone else here monitor their frame rate and notice a drop off?

    This is not just when picking up items like the "Known Issues" meantions. In fact, I don't notice any aditional lag/drop in frame rate when I pick up items... it is just consistantly lower than it should be. Also, my computer is not being strained. RAM and CPU usage are both well below 50%.

    I don't know what may be causing the issue, specifically, but in general I think the code for the game is just stacking complexity upon complexity. Whereas many game companies strive to streamline their game code, the folks in charge of developing this game seem to take pride in seeing how convoluted and bulky they can make the code. [I know this isn't literally true, but this is the way it seems to me every time a release goes live.]

    Hum, so I just logged in and am seeing 19-20 FPS... Time to troubleshoot and see if I can't fix this one just in time for it to break again.

    EDIT: A restart fixed it for now. I am back up to 60 FPS. We''l see what happens tomorrow.

    Am betting you guys always play on high graphical setting while I always play on low. Why? Well a lot less heat, and high fps rate, no lag and no glare effect. :p

    I think about 1/4 of my friends were added when I inadvertently clicked on the "add as friend" option while farming in a random group and trying to pick up an object using the ctrl function. It's been suggested that the pick-up function be on a separate key from the other functions. I agree and would like to see it done, but I'm afraid to push for anything new. The way things have been going, they could try to do it and break the ability to add a friend in any way for a month or three :eek:

    [Sorry for the off-topic, Baragain.]

    LoL, don't you just love that customer service ;)

    That looks exactly like what I was experiencing. It seems that a reset fixes it at least temporaraly.
    I'm pretty sure that that isn't the problem. I can still run Skyrim with all of my favorite mods without any issues.

    Maybe there is a memory leak associated with the new release? My game crashed yesterday for the first time dealing with "heapsize." Forgot to screenshot the nebula error, but I haven't heard of heapsize since I played Counter Strike and it has to do with memory.
