Framerate lag/drop...?
Seems like my game isn't running as smoothly after this update, like...tons of "hiccups" and all that with the framerate. No clue what's causing it, but it's kinda bugging me, and before the update m...

Try resetting nVidia Control Panel's 3D Properties to defaults. If you added PvZ.exe to Program Settings make sure it's all defaulted back too.

I'm sure you know but no overlay software (RiviaTuner, Fraps, TS overlay, etc). There are some work arounds to make it work with Origin in Game though too.

Try disabling Origin in Game for a test, just to see.

Check your processes... perhaps something is eating your CPU up?

I like playing with this config file... even though we probably shouldn't throw another variable in... here it is:
Open Notepad.
Copy and Paste this:
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1 ///(You can try changing this form 0 to 3-ish... I think it goes up to 8 but nah)
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
PostProcess.DofMethod 0
PostProcess.BlurMethod 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOMethod 0
Render.VSyncFlashTestEnable 0
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionForceOn 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapResolution 256

Save it as "user.cfg"
You cannot have user.cfg.txt
enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel
Put it in your PvZ directory

I understand that it's only after the patch... but I don't want to get hung up on that.
Guess I'll try the config thing later today then. Since everything else (3D settings, overlay stuff) aren't it. Not sure about Origin, though...doesn't that need to be up in order for the game to work?

Oh, misunderstood you then, thought you meant Origin itself. lol
Well anyways I'm not going to play it at the moment, but did reset the 3D settings in Nvidia's control panel, haven't messed with it there before though.

Doesn't look like anything is helping...I'm starting to think it has something to do with the mouse controls. I mean my mouse functions just fine, but aiming seems a bit choppy. There was another thread saying that the new update is causing the graphic cards to become major CPU hogs, you think that has anything to do with this?
