<p>Hi there,</p><p>This is a very sudden problem for me, so I'm not really sure what caused it. I only get to play once a weekend for a few hours at a time, so your guess is as good as mine. I was getting around 30 FPS at High Quality settings, now, abruptly, I'm getting around 15 FPS, and heaven help me if I need to turn. The game's frame rate drops to 0-2 and locks up for a second or two before letting me continue on my way. Jumping about with my raptor mount is becoming a pain.</p><p>Like I said, this is a sudden change. The game was working fine a week ago. The only thing that I changed was I purchased AoD, but the game was suffering the same problem in the 20 minutes I was logged on before I purchased the expantion. I've tried setting my profile to Very High Performance and tweaking the settings from there, but it doesn't matter if I put it on anything between Extreme Performance and Extreme Quality -- my frame rate never wanders out of the 12-17 range.</p><p>Any idea what might be going on?</p><p>Here's my DxDiag... thing:</p><p>------------------</p><p>System Information</p><p>------------------</p><p>Time

<p>Oh, I guess I should add that I play in windowed mode, but expanding it to fullscreen, regardless of the resolution setting, doesn't effect the FPS either.</p>

<p>My husband and I are having the same issue. We did nothing new on our end. I think there must be a bug hiding in the works.</p>

<p>It looks like either Windows Updates replaced your Video Card Driver or it was never installed and you are using the native built in one.  The Driver version is not correct for a nVidia driver.</p><p>Try going to <a href="http://www.nvidia.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.nvidia.com</a> and replace it with the latest driver.</p>
