FPS drops after Felucia update (SWBF2)

I tried to turn off dx12 and revert back to dx11 : it seems to be ok , but I prefer dx12 cos it s more smooth on my rig.

really hope a fix will come soon

@CardConvict  : exactly the same for me !

something is wrong with this update and dx12.

Yesterday I played the game with dx12 on without any problem and today , since the update , it s catastrophic.

I have the same issues. The game worked fine for me without any lag    / performance issues before the September patch. Since that update I am expierencing  lag and FPS drops. This happens in MP & Arcade mode & Instant action. Even in the collection menu when looking at emote previews, the FPS suddenly drop. 

The game ran smootly for me prior to the September update. I didn't change any ingame settings since the patch dropped and didn't change any PC settings, except installing the latest NVIDIA drivers and Windows 10 updates.

I have Windows 10 (latest update installed), an i5- 6400 processor, 8GB RAM and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 wth 6GB RAM. I have installed the latest NVIDIA driverd (440.97) 

It would be really appreciated if you could look into this and apply a fix if possible, so we can enjoy the game again without any lag/FPS drops.

Found the root cause 

Windows 10 enables a kind off vsync , noticed this by msi afterburner, my game was always running on 144 HZ (144fps) so even the intro that normally caps at 200 fps was now even 144 fps

tried few things than maybe vsync was enabled, removed settings folder from my documents, reset nvidia control panel, started game, nothing, stays at 144 fps and Gpu runs max at 64 % now

so was a hardware limit

than i went to my installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II ====> starwarsbattlefrontii.exe   = right click on it  ==> properties ==> compatibility ==> change settings for all users ==> select " Disable full-screen optimisations "

i know this a known issue for other games, but since the latest patches seems i had huge fps drops = this selected , and Gpu runs back at 99% , in my case back high frame rates without drops

ingame graphic setting = High , no vsync, no film grain , no motion blurr , no vignette

attached Two screenshots from ingame : start from a new round , lock to fps and the graphic line

@Mr_Fulgore 

Thanks for the detailed steps! We'll make sure the team gets this - Can anyone else confirm this works?

@Mr_Fulgore  : Hi Mr fulgore

do u have dx12 enabled ? I think we have another problem in dx12 mode cos I tried yur workaround : ====> starwarsbattlefrontii.exe   = right click on it  ==> properties ==> compatibility ==> change settings for all users ==> select " Disable full-screen optimisations "

and it s the same for me : huge fps drops during the game since the update  :/

(no problem at all dx11 mode)
