Unexpected drop in perfomance problem

[Raynor]

<p>Hi,</p><p>Here's my problem, which seems to happen since last update :</p><p>Usual fps in everfost 60 fps, now yesterday I log in, and I'm down to 20fps. So I made a reboot and was back at 60.</p><p>But today, Be it in any zone or my guild hall, I'm back to 20fps with huge drop as low as 2fps. I rebooted multiple times and it still doesnt fix the problem.</p><p>Anyone would happen to have an idea ?</p>

<p>After some test, I would say it seems to be related to the particules system. It would appear that either my cpu or graphic card has become less good at handling these. As soon as there's any particules that appear on the screen, I encounter a huge drop in fps which I did not have before.</p><p>So if anyone have an idea <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> thanks in advance</p>

Follw the post on what to post and how to post it</p>
