Does anyone notice how much smoother it feels?

This feels 10x smoother than before the update. I think we may be running source 2 or something, and the UI changes support the theory.

I really don't know wats going on, but it feels INFINITELY smoother. Rocket jumps also feel weird to me. Is it just me?

I'm having moments where my FPS is fantastic and moments where it's complete garbage

It's not Source 2 though. Custom UIs work too well for it to be Source 2. The 3d model previews are cool but they aren't new, they already used a similar preview for your loadout page. All they had to do was embed it in a new panel and voila.

Did you switch to dx9 or are you on the same dx level you were before the update? Seems kind of insane to close to half the framerate with one update.

keep in mind the whole item drop system means more ragdolls to track/calculate, skins on weapons are complex to render if they're really using a bunch of different offsets, and players that may have not used outlines are now having to do that

plus huds havent been updated so broken huds might be causing performance issues from errors

smoother here but only when <10 players are onscreen, more than that it's normal

I always played on dx9

The game runs much smoother for me, but I'm still on DX8. Everything looks anti-aliased too, even though I have all AA settings disabled.

There's something slightly different in the coloring for me, but I haven't figured out what it is yet. The game looks a little crisper in its graphics. I haven't changed my settings and it's on more than just gorgeous Suijin, so I don't think it's just in my head.

However, Borneo trees have once again disappeared for me, as well as certain props on Snowplow, so it could all just be a quirk of my computer and/or graphic card.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things look/play after today's patch.

This update pretty much halved my fps. It was pretty unplayable so I switched from dx9 to dx8.

I ran this benchmark, noticed no difference in fps whatsoever between before the update and now.

[edit] I also use dx8, perhaps this issue concerns more dx9 users ?
