Patch made performance MUCH worse

I don't think there has. No word of a patch 3 or anything.

EA_David:

Thank you for your posts on this. For anyone who's still seeing this, please check the steps on this page.

Please link a a full dxdiag, as much info as possible is useful when investigating this. Information on CPU spiking is quite useful too. 

Thanks again.

It sounds like they're investigating it but he's not said anything about upcoming patches.

Yes, there has. Most people are ignoring the posts made by EA_David. Use CClearner to clean out installation garbage and fix your registry and the game will run like normal again.

I would disagree with "ignoring" the suggestion of using a 3rd party program to fix a patch issue.

As with the majority of the other suggestions, none of them are working for most. (I personally have tried every single random idea anyone has posted.)

Not to be cynical, but I just formatted and reinstalled windows... Let see if that fixes it. I'm betting no, but will report back later.

That doesn't work.

This fix tha EA_David posted did work for me.

I suspect that it is something in the services that I disabled that is conflicting with the game.  This is not a great worksround as more than half of the services I usually run are turned off at the momment.

But at least its something.  I'm going to slowly turn them back on until I find the culpret.

I've done that, and it didn't work. Please try not to sound so...passive aggressive about this. Why would I ignore something that could possibly help me? Come on now.

I installed it today and the first time I tried to load it up this happened. Haven't made it past the main menu because it takes about 10s between 3-5s freezes. Tried lowering all the graphics to the worst they could be, but doesn't look any different and still regularly freezes. 

I hope they fix this bug because otherwise they'll lose a lot of support, assuming they haven't already.

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

I just got finished with customer support and here is what we did to fix my game. I had the same issues you all were having which we narrowed down to being an origin update issue. You may have installed the patch but origin can have issues recognizing the changes and freak out.

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:

Edit: Several players have also reported that disabling Intel Rapid Storage Technology in Task Manager > services can help

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.

My problem like many is a maxed out 100% CPU.  The game was perfect before the patch came out.  Once that installed the game could not be played.

Following what EA_David posted I have tried the following and in order.

Run ccleaner on PC:

Clear origin cache:

Perform a clean boot:

I don't have the Intel Rapid Storage Technology in Task Manager to disable.

I have also uninstalled the game and reinstalled it by downloading it again as I have the Digital Deluxe, so no CD.

I have done the above twice and each time the results are the same, a maxed CPU at 100%.

My game settings are all set to low (was ultra before the patch) and I am playing full screen.  Same results with windowed mode.

Here is my DxDiag information http://hastebin.com/lupetizexu.tex

I hope this helps you.

Launch msconfig and see if you have  Intel Rapid Storage Technology listed in the Services.  If so deselect it, save the new set and restart your PC and see if the game improves.
