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, in conversation, even in menus. When the pause happens, it sounds like the fan on my video card stops or slows down. I tried other games, and none are exhibiting this behavior. The game is not even playable for me, in its current state.

I am not sure this helps, but I am playing Inquisition on both my desktop and my laptop. My desktop is running Windows 7 and has absolutely no problems what so ever. I have no issues with my graphics or crashing. The game plays smoothly and has no stuttering or low FPS. Hell, even my CPU seems to be doing finemost of the time. Now and again the loading times are a bit long, but I chocked that up to my desktop being three years old.
My laptp on the other hand is running 8.1 and i have problems from time to time. Nothing to make the game unplayable but sometimes the more action intensive cut scenes can stutter. There are graphical issues as well, but nothing that stands out. Usually I just have to restart the game to make the buggered graphincs go away.
Thus I don't think the OS version has anything major to do with performance.
I run both windows 7 and my PC and windows 8.1 on my laptop. The windows 7 (PC) ran fine before and after the patch (at least from what I can tell so far) The PC is an quad core A6 3600 (I believe) with 8 gigs Ram memory and 1 tb HD, and an Nvidia 670 and the oly issues I had on the PC were the nasty shiny graphic stuff, and it since the patch the hair seems resolved but the models and zones still come off shiny and plasticy.
On the lap top which is an HP Envy M6 A10-4600M Apu with Radeon 7700 2.3 ghz. it has 6 ghz memory and it ran okay on medium settings with some hickups before the patch. Since the patch it runs great, shiney hair/models gone, BUT it now has the sound issues that others reported which it did NOT have before the patch.

For those who are still reporting diminished performance after the patch, please take the steps Trooperr2 posted, to start.

Do all of these steps listed below in that order. When finished with each step re launch origin and accept the user agreement and when it has verified your games right click inquisition and check for updates. After that has finished right click again to repair your game. The repair will make sure origin recognizes the updates. It will take a few minutes to do everything but it got rid of my issues.
Run ccleaner on PC:

After you have tried this, please check again. If the issue persists, please post a hastebin link to your dxdiag.
Please also include your graphics settings, including Mesh, Tesselation, Texure quality and so on, as well as whether you're playing in Windowed/Fullscreen.
I've tried this twice now with no improvement. I also don't have anything under IRST in the Task Manager-Services. Other things I've tried:
Full system virus scans,
Repairing game multiple times,
Reinstalling multiple times,
Deleted patch and reinstalled twice,
Disk cleanup and defragment twice,
Updated every driver I can find on my PC, all up to date everything says.
Also my GPU usage stays well under 30% usage and under 40 degrees temperature, while running but my CPU is waaaaaay up around the 100% mark but under 50 degrees temperature
I've been trying all different graphics settings because my original settings were on high/ultra, at the moment they're all on the lowest settings and still have ridiculously low performance. I've also used fullscreen, borderless window, and windowed mode on low with no improvement.
My dxdiag again: http://hastebin.com/inipovofaq.tex

To those of you trying a clean install and it hasn't worked, are you downloading the game or installing from a physical disk copy? I have the disks and reinstalling from those has brought the game back to the base version. It does tell mto update but I have auto update off and I play in offline mode now.
Ah I have the digital deluxe copy, so whenever I download it it must download the patch also?

I have a erlier save that is normal, but its too far behind from where i'm now. D:-edit- And of course that 3seconds pause screen D:
I think I've seen somewhere that there is armor that gives you increased damage at a cost of insane drop in defence so you might want tot check your armor. Something to do with beserk?
None of these things makes a single difference for me. During every cutscene there is horrible stuttering and after it ends, the game is a slideshow for about 20 seconds. The game runs more smoothly running around, but the texture popin is horrible to the point where everything is shifting and changing and the LOD is getting better as I ride by but it looks like a messy transformer world. Some flora does not show except for in a tiny ring around my character. Many cutscenes would downright lock up my computer if it wasn't overpowered brute forcing it's way through them.
Im not sure why we are forbidden from rolling back to an older version, the way it was at launch was great, I had 4 instances where the game closed with no warning no message but it wasn't that bad, and everything else worked perfectly, cutscenes and all. It ran great, no popin, I loved it. This patch was a major disappointment for me, for what that's worth.
(this is with everything maxed and no AA btw)
