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...

fortunately i have discs so when i uninstalled the game, disconnected from origin servers, turned off the auto updates and then re-installed, eveything runs as before without gamebreaking stutters every 2-3 seconds. there is no importing from the keep, nor is there picking up from a previous save file that had the patch...so yes a reinstall from the discs will take you back to before but you have a default world state. better than nothing.
Ok I've recently installed the patch so my brother could load his saves from origin cloud when he visited, I was holding off playing till next patch. But I decided to try it out some more, while I like the new features like "pings" showing up on the minimap. I pretty much get 60fps during combat and running around, however in combat pretty much every fight efter engaging for a few seconds ends up being in bullet time like in Max pain for a few seconds then resumes in normal speed for a few seconds then its "bullet time" again. Is this a feature when status effects are applied to enemies so you get enough time to hit with an ability to get effects like shatter etc?
And another thing I can be running suddenly to have "loot" or lootable animal corpses suddenly appear below my feet, could this be from the animals I killed like 5 minutes earlier that I wasn't able to loot or "had no loot on them"?

The loot thing has been happening to me since release. I just figured it was a little feature to make it a bit faster to loot xD Tbh it doesn't happen with every enemy I kill though. It doesn't bother me though, I'm used to it now. The bullet time thing I'm also pretty sure is a feature? That too has been happening to me since release, doesn't fee like a bug as it's a smooth slow down like it's supposed to be there. The patch caused combat to stutter and actually pause for me.
