I am unsure of what happened. When I first started to play It ran fine but then I took a break and came back and now everything takes so much longer to do anything. The reaction time has slowed down more than anything, as well as load times. I cast a spell wait 2 minutes then it says I cast and did damage. Load times into the game take about 15 minutes. I am wondering if anyone could help me?

I have noticed a decrease in performance too since latest patch+hotfix.

At one point my pc started running really slowly with OS2.

After some initial frustrations, where it only seemed to be OS2, and not all my other programs, I found out that the major reason was overheating caused by *dust and fluff*.

Everything was back to normal after I blasted the inside of the pc with my air compressor.

That said, have you tried running Valley Benchmark from Unigine?
That is definitely going to tell you whether it is OS2 or the pc.

Not saying that the cause is dust and fluff. Merely that it is a contender until proven not to be.

With all these Spectre and Meltdown patches lately, I would not be surprised if that was the main reason for general slowdowns.

Me too
I have around 8 fps drop since the hotfix
It was fine with the patch, but after hotfix, I'm seeing the fps drop
