I have tested this across 3 days and it's not a fluke.
If I start playing the game in the morning (which would be 10 AM for me in Europe), when most people are at work/school, I have in the open world 90-100 fps, 70 fps in towns and 45 in group pvp.
If it remained like this it would be great but, strangely, it does not. Basically, by the time evening comes and then night time, my fps drops significantly. Open world goes down to 60 fps, towns to 35 fps and group pvp goes as low as 16-25 fps.
This has been observed across 3 days, same situation every time. Great fps in the mornings, very low fps in the evenings and night.
Anyone care to explain ?
PS: No, it has nothing to do with nr. of players in rendering distance. This has been tested with no players or equal nr. of players everytime.
