Game Runs like **** after patch
Heyho!

Just looked into the game after the patch and it almost became unplayable.
It already starts right in the main menu. Just opening the loading screen to select the savegame takes forever.
Then loading the mission itself also takes ages and finally the combat map is also stuttering.

I am not using a brand new high end PC anymore, but my i7 6700k and GTX 1070 are definitely not that outdated already.

Would be great if this could either be fixed or if its possible to play on an older version of the game. This isn't really enjoyable anymore.

Yes, I have it as well. Played the game yesterday before the update. It was silky smooth.

Yeah, loading times are longer and there is a noticeable lag in tactical battles.

Delete save games and start over. Fix it

Having the same problem here since the update. Was smooth and responsive before and I've been playing all week, now it is slow, unresponsive and glitchy. I have a decent system with i9 and RTX 3080.
Starting a new game took a long time and loading the first tactical mission took much longer than usual, but those problems went away after I closed the game and restarted it. The first cutscene I ran into came up faster than usual. In tactical movement is a tiny bit janky and there is a tiny hiccup in the free aim transition, but nothing I've seen makes it "unplayable". I'm running an i5 4440 and a GTX 1650.

Core i9 9900K, 32 GB RAM, RTX 2070.

Yeah it's not unplayable but the jerkiness of the UI is quite annoying.

After latest patch I can no longer start a new game at all. It just freezes on the loading screen after clicking through the start new game option menus. So, yeah, for me it is now completely unplayable. (Win 10 system with very high specs)
I used to run the game really well in an Intel i7 (tigerlake) + Xe integrated graphics.
Before update: Geoscape and tactical view were used to be all great. Game was pretty much smooth 55-60 fps except for some maps (Synedrion, mostly).

After latest update loading times increased substantially. There's a huge delay when switching menus in Geoscape now. There are also frame drop when you hover the cursor over a haven/location and the description pops.
In Tactical View, it does sttuter every time you switch an operative, or you aim into an enemy (no sttuter and smooth FPS if you aim anywhere BUT the enemy !). The frame drops happen every time something in the UI pops up (enemy limb status, etc).
If you just keep an operative selected and hover over the battlefield or aim around the scene, it is quite smooth. I wonder if it is all UI-related.
