I've played three tech tests, the alpha, and both betas. I've had no real issues with frame drops, even when I still ran it on a GTX 760 before upgrading to my current 960.
I've never gotten motion sick in my life, except the first I ever stepped foot on a military ship and we went underway for my first time, but never again after that, even on subsequent patrols, and I did 7 years riding around in ships.
I open with that, because this recent patch has made this game unplayable for me.
Something about the frame drops in this game, though. Are giving me the shakes and making my head spin.
I don't know what happened to this game, but oh boy is this bad. It's not constant low frames, though. It dips down and goes back up constantly producing an awkward stutter, and even then, that only happens on certain maps.
Is anyone else dealing with this?
I tried to play last Saturday and experienced this issue, but thought maybe it was just me that day. Had some stuff to do this week and came back to play it tonight and I just can't. I can't go more than a full game without my hands shaking and my head throbbing. Not to mention the fact that enemies are attacking while my screen stutters, so I can't react to them so it still wouldn't be fun regardless.
I know the Devs said something about High Fort, and one other map but I was trying to do the daily skirmishes and it was happening really bad on cathedral. It happens in duels, too though I didn't pay enough attention to which particular maps(I think I recall it happening to me in one duel on the shipyard map).
Just wanted to throw that out there for the devs, and see if I'm not the only one with this issue. I'll post my specs below if it would help the devs.
