Basically, ever since I installed the patch this morning and started to play the first 2 loading screens I got ended up freezing and causing my game to crash. 1-2 minutes of loading, freeze, then crash. After trying for the third time I got in. I spawned at Arrius and already noticed my fps was about 20-30 fps lower than usual. I'm using v-sync and usually when I'm not in big battles I get 50-60 fps stable. Right now it's around 30 fps in the middle of nowhere.
So I finally reach the IC, I'm inside the sewers. What do I see? 30-40 fps whereas on the PTS I had stable 60. This is on the EP home baside inside the Imperial City. So, hmm, I thought there must be something wrong with my settings. I change it to medium/low settings... and guess what? Fps stays the exact same.
I join up with some of my guildies in the Elven Gardens district, fighing only a few NPCs and players and my fps is already at 20, it stayed like this for a while until we managed to get away from the clusterf
uck and my fps constantly stayed at 20-40 fps.
We eventually went into the sewers near the DC home base and there is a medium sized EP group. My fps drops even more, around 10-20 fps. And eventually when I go back to the Elven Gardens district my fps dropped all the way to 1. One fps. Are you serious? Dear ZOS, maybe you should add more lighting patches to make the game look more pretty.

I updated my drivers, restarted my pc and there is nothing wrong with my addons or network, other games on my system run perfectly fine but this game is like a disease to my computer when it comes to performance.
Props to you ZOS, every patch you release brings the PvP deeper in the grave and to be quite frank I don't know why I'm still playing this.
The game ran fine yesterday but since the patch, it's unplayable.
Absolutely shameful.
