Patch made performance MUCH worse

Is it just me or did anyone else lose the combat difficulty option in the Gameplay settings???
Before the patch I was able to run the game perfectly fine with most of the settings on ultra and the rest on high. I didn't monitor CPU usage but both CPU and GPU temperatures never crossed 60C, not even once. After the patch, I noticed some stuttering/lagging issues and an increase in pop up graphics. CPU usage was hovering around 90% but temperature was still under 60C so it was nothing I couldn't live with. I thought it was because I increased the tessellation from high to ultra right after intalling the patch.
And then today, the crashes started. They occured occasionally, until I was unable to load a save. The game would immediately crash no matter what saves I tried to load, and kick me back to desktop with no error message (so it couldn't have been DirectX). When I tried to lower/fiddle with all the settings, game still crashed.
This is ridiculous and unbelievable. I understand that sometimes when you fix one bug, two more pop up. But a patch that renders its game unplayable? Seriously??? I haven't finished the game yet and I'm getting really worked up...
