When I have my shaders set to medium the game runs at a silky smooth 60fps (higher at interval immediate).

However with shaders set to high the game stutters and chokes making barely 30fps with a lot of dropped frames. This was no issue before the patch and my graphics card is not lacking power. It is an AMD R9 290X and can play far more graphically demanding games at high FPS

All other graphics settings have no effect.

If there are any driver issues that may help please let me know as it is frustrating losing the visual splendor that I enjoyed at a buttery 60fps before Carnyx. All drivers are up to date.

Help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Christopher,

Could I ask that you submit a bug report through the in-game tool when your FPS next tanks? It's accessible from the F12 menu, button at the bottom.

This will collate logs and system info for us to look at, as well as reproduce your client setup exactly.

Best,

Sledge.

Sent the report. Forgot to mention in it that the framerate drop exists in all display modes however the stuttering goes away in fullscreen mode. In fullscreen mode the framerate is indeed lower than I would expect but it is playable.
