    Hey, I only just grabbed this and I wanted to know if this is a common issue or if I might actually have an issue on my end instead.

    Using an M17x Alienware laptop, I get the impression it should run okay on minimum settings.

    The amount of FPS drop I get is staggering. My friend says he gets none on Fantastic settings.

    If no one else is having this problem it must be something specific wrong- somebody help out someone sorely lacking in technical skills here, please.

    [I wouldn't double-post but no one is answering...]

    Which scenes are you experience the lag in? Would you be able to use the /bug command via chat in game and paste the copied information into a response? We are constantly working to improve the performance of our game, and FPS shouldn't be suffering terribly at fastest settings.

    Thank you for your patience.

    It's gotten to the point that I'm lagging so much I can't even bring myself to play...

    EDIT: Don't know if this will help, but I lag more when:
    -In North Varisalla Foothills
    -By the Waterfall in South Varisalla Foothills
    -Experiencing weather effects (rain or snow)
    -Crafting at a workbench

    I was getting 60fps on my alienware till today, when my laptop barfed and I had to reset it back to factory settings, Ive updated all the updated things from dell and so on and now I get <30fps except in my 1 story basement where I still get 60fps... Im on fastest settings as I always was..

    I play on a laptop and was getting really low framerates. I noticed that the power settings default to using the onboard Intel graphics processor instead of my Radeon GPU in certain situations. I changed the settings to "Always use Radeon GPU" and haven't had anymore problems.
