I just wanted to see if anyone is having FPS issues after updating to the drivers. Mine have gone from 40 fps in trials to 10. I've rolled the drivers back but it doesn't seem to have fixed it. Has anyone noticed any extreme FPS drops within the last two days?

    I updated mine about 3 weeks ago. I noticed FPS drops in major cities, but not bad in dungeons and trails. In cities I went from 50-60 FPS to 25-45, seems to fluctuate more than before. Only thing I can say is double check all you settings something may have gotten changed. Mine outside of town still runs 60 FPS 40-50 when its strained in trails/dungeons, but I think the problem is on the game side not Nvidia's .

    I haven't had any FPS drops recently, or at all although I don't PvP or do competitive PvE. I follow the maxim "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and never update any drivers unless there's a good reason to do so, and with the game (and everything else) running smoothly I'm still on Nvidia drivers 361.75 (Geforce GTX 960).

    EDIT: With this sort of issue you might want to specify the server. I'm on PC EU.

    If you are running Geforce experience, check if the game is optimized. if it is, make sure it's turned off as it does not optimize it for performance, but quality, and will set all your settings to the max and beyond; This can result in your loss of performance.

    GTX 960 and it only has issues in trials with lots of affects going on. I'm on pc na and I sit at 99 fps in cities and occasionally dip below 50 under heavy loads In trials and PvP. I'll try rolling back once more as well to see if that fixs it

    Damn, I also have GTX 960 but haven't updated drivers yet. If your performance will be better after roll back, I won't install them. :p

    It was probably just a bad driver install is all. Once in a while it will happen, even if you clean install using DDU. The guy who mentioned cities frames drops, the cities were a lot busier about a month ago, and for quite a while around that point. Some players likely stuck around a bit longer after the jester and anniversary stuff ended keeping more players present in towns for a couple of weeks or so afterward. Major hubs and starter towns were very packed between writs for boxes and loot from the boxers being thrown on traders and global. I imagine some players stuck around deciding to begin trying to sell things After the event ended with the anniversary stuff. So major social hubs would still be packed with players at some points during the day for a week or two afterward.
