{BUG} 1.07 Novigrad FPS decrease bug

Hey guys,

Have just been doing some testing with 1.07 and found a pretty serious bug.

I play the game on settings that allow me to run at an average of about 75-80fps, even though I use V-sync to cap it at 60. I do this so I dont see any of the bad frame drops and stutters this game is plagued with. Before 1.07, there was nowhere I have found in 200hours of gameplay that reduces my FPS to below 60, with it only happening if I do something like cast igni at a big group of mobs.

However, in 1.07 there is an area of Novigrad that drops my FPS to 45-50. (see image below)

Here's where it gets weird though, if I save the game in the low FPS area and reload it, my FPS jumps back up to 85. But if I leave the area and come back, its back down to 45-50.

It really does look like CDPR has broken more things than they fixed with 1.07.

(Im currently uploading a video to youtube showing this bug, I'll comment in on this thread when it's done).

Yeah, noticed it too. For me it only drops to 54-57 though. IIRC this is the area where you escort Triss during the Now or Never quest, and where you talk to the Corpse collector later on.
 
I think it may have something to do with the sewers that run under that area, like its trying to load both the above and underground areas at once.

Possible fix: Verify/Repair Game files in Galaxy. Will do more tests tomorrow to see if it worked.
 
Can confirm this, right out of Dandelion's cabaret my fps drops to 45-49 whereas before the patch I had 53-60 all over Novigrad, as soon as I leave that area it jumps back to 60, it's not gamebreaking but this bug together with the broken achievements make me wanna wait for a hotfix
