Patch made the game unplayable...
I normally play on a Dell Latitude laptop due to my schedule (I am the lead IT and IS specialist for a company in the USA). The system is a Core i7 2.80GHz chip with four cores, 8GB of DDR3, and an nVidia Quadro NVS4200M with 4GB dedicated RAM. Normally I average 40fps in this game, sometimes more. Last night I was getting in the low 50's in a dungeon. I login today, after patching, and get 17fps. What the heck? On top of that, the longer I play, the lower it goes. When I finally quit I was getting about 7-8fps! I can actually type a message, stop typing, sit back, and watch the text type itself and send itself. This is crazy! Was there no testing with this patch? How the heck did it get released? The entire guild is talking about this mess of a patch.
Here is a short video showing off the problems. This is MINOR compared to how it was earlier. Be sure to watch it in 1080p for the buggy goodness. Currently, I cannot play due to this patch.

Oh and before you blame my system, I can play much more intense games with no issues. I can even play "The Forest" without issue, and it is HARD on resources. So when can we expect a patch for the patch?
