Major FPS Drops with recent update

BigBressler · April 2016

I used to average 40 fps on max setting with my GTX 680 Ti, but now, no matter where I am, I get an average of 12 FPS. Sometimes the FPS is fine, but out of nowhere, it'll plummet down to 11-13 FPS after a few minutes. Even the character select is 12 FPS sometimes.

Same problem occured at myself, but actually the addons made it far worse.

I disabled and/or reconfigured my addon setup and now it's somehow like before.

I tried disabling all my addons and nothing changed.

Well, something has really changed with the video effects of the game. My characters' hair color has changed slightly (sadly, against my taste), and the reflections on weapons and armor became more shiny, etc. Probably these could have effected the fps too.

Same here, I've dropped from 60 to 20 in overworld since the last patch. But, dungeons and trials now give me SUB 10 FPS. The game is now unplayable. Please prioritize this fix.

The only way I can play is if I set my graphic setting to low/minimum whereas before I could play steadily at max settings. I don't bother doing dungeons or trials anymore.

Sorry for the double post, but I've found some useful information. I think I found a solution. For me at least. I went into my display settings and turned off my 2nd monitor, and everything went back to normal. Eventually the fps dropped again, and I turned it back on. Somehow every time I turn off and on my 2nd monitor, it fixes the FPS. Also switching between full screen and full screen (windowed) fixes the issue on my end.
