Did just that with pretty much every patch. All it helped with was less blurry screens when running around Novigraad when it was a significant problem. As for saying that it will help increase performance... That's not the case. It'll stay the same with both 1.10 and 1.12, tested.
You might think the performance is better, but I doubt it's anything more than a placebo effect. Also saying that
I don't even know how to react to that. First, the performance there is not ok. When a developer fails to deliver a near 30 fps for a machine that only has one distinct configutration software and hardware wise... Well, that's just not acceptable. Even more so when they did manage to make near perfect 30 and made it much worse afterwards. Sustained dips as low as 18 are not ok in anyone's books.
Mate, I agree with you that Novigrad performance is worse now than v1.08. But in MY experience on MY xbox one i am not getting such lower framerate as what your saying, or at least it is not as noticeable problem for me as it is for you perhaps. i agree that it should be locked at 30 especially as it was before with 1.08 but from what i am seeing on my xbox it isnt as low as 18fps anywhere.
I dont have a FPS counter like digital foundry but in my opinion to my untrained eye, I notice that the fps is less than with 1.08 but for me, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game and is not so noticeable to me. I would say it looks like 25fps for me, not quite as good as it was, but still definitely smooth enough to be playable.
regarding the better performance, I can only say what I have experienced on my console, when 1.10 was release i ha bad problems with novigrad and oxenfurt having blurry pausing and many other graphical issues, i have had clear improvements in my game when i deleted everything and reinstalled. also all the bugs people have been having i have not had except the soldier statuette quest.
I may be getting slightly better performance from using an external hard drive, which i believe runs faster than the standard internal hard drive.
i am not doubting you and many other people have had problems, but i am saying in my experience my performance has been ok, not perfect, but not as bad as people are posting, and that could be due to difference of opinion.
I tell you what ill take some quick videos later tonight of a run around Novigrad and you can let me know if they are the same as what you see or better or worse.
