For a while there was a major issue with fps being very low and the problem lasted for months. However, starting a few patches ago I haven't been having any fps issues and the game has been SO much more fun to play.

External link →Thanks for noticing! We rolled out a nice optimisation with 8.13, so you should have noticed a good improvement in fps, particularly if your frame rate was already up around 80+fps.
We're constantly monitoring frame rates with each patch, and always looking for ways to speed up the slow parts of the code, and making sure we've not made things worse - hopefully we'll be able to roll out a few more optimisations that'll help even more over the coming patches.
If I may ask, why is it that PBE plays so much more smoother to me than Live? I play one a somewhat crappy PC and it sucks to feel these random frame stutters on live.
In Live, I usually hover around my 60FPS cap, but very sporadically, it dips down to 47fps or in some cases, down to 30-something fps. In PBE, it feels like I can even play on highest settings and it's a lot smoother, albeit with some hiccups.
It seems to happen sometimes when there's a change in the fog of war.
There shouldn’t be any difference between a version on PBE and that same version on Live. If you are interested in figuring out why, there are some things we can do. Just PM me.
