Patch made performance MUCH worse
Prior to today's patch, the hitching was annoying, but the game was playable. Now, the game randomly pauses for about 3 seconds every few seconds. It does this at the title screen, while playing, i...

I personally never had a hitching or freezing issue before the patch, however since the patch I get the whole game freezing for several seconds too. Didn't really notice it on the menu at first, mostly in game when running around my Inquisitor would just freeze in place for a few seconds then started moving again, it was like the old gaming days when your game would stop because it was loading things without a loading screen, but this is just a freeze.
At first I thought it was just when running around but it also froze when I was working on an astrarium puzzle too, really hope this gets fixed, all Bioware currently seem to be talking about is the graphics issues, not the performance one.
I am posting my DXConfig for the developers to investigate. I would like an official response to this issue where post patch performance has drastically decreased making the game completely unplayable.
A reminder:
PRE patch FPS 35
POST patch FPS 16
AMD R9290 (Beta drivers and new Omega drivers tested same results)
Apart from the huge disappointment and frustration of the customer it must be completely demoralising for the developers to have all their hard work impacted in such a negative way. I have been a fan of Bioware forever which is why I am so shocked at the state this game is in. Who is responsible for what is now becoming a default in releasing games in this state? They should be ashamed of themselves.
