Performance issues in Solstice

I just want to find out if other players have game performance issues like me.

In my case, I notice that abilities fire with a delay and there are all sorts of hic-ups during combat.
In some parts of Solstice, the frame rate goes down all the sudden, even though there is no significant activity or complex 3d models. My laptop is well ventilated.

Also, conversations (audio) start with delay. The game worked fine for me before the update, there is no change on hardware, drivers, or addons on my side. (addons are up to date).

Because of these issues, I haven't even tried BGs or other pvp so far.

Do you have similar issues?

    I only got worse performance in the public dungeon, about 5-10fps...
    I did notice though that the game seems a lot brighter in the Solstice zone.

    The Writhing Wall is the biggest culprit to frame drops for me. Even if I am on the westernmost point of Solstice, looking towards it always causes a ~20 FPS drop.

    And I'm not sure if it's the game or my network, but latency has been a problem for me since U46 launched as well, with rubberbanding and disconnects every 5 minutes.

    No issues, but the zone does cause a noticeable ramping effect on my processing. I noticed it because the cooling system rarely makes a sound, but Solstice makes the fans ramp up. 9-15% cpu load until I enter Solstice, then it ramps to 27-33%. I initially wondered if this is by design to give the engineers time to tune the zone for the large scale event. We tested on 2 fairly new machines both max graphics yada yada, (less than 2 years old) it affects both similarly. No maintenance this week, so I guess we'll all see how it holds up...
