So my experience after patch 1 with performance has been mixed. I made a post before telling my experience after hotfix 6. For me the game was very unplayable in certain areas especially the nameless pass. I feel that now I get close to the same fps 15-60 and 20-30 average for the most part. There are some areas like Sacrament, Nameless pass, parts of the Glades where I would have problems got better and feels more stable.
BUT certain transitions like going from Sacrament to the Glades, since launch ive had the problem of the bridge taking a bit to load.
Transitions from Sacrament to the Nameless Pass has gotten worse with lag since Patch 1.
Transitions from the bridge to the beginning of the Glades has gotten worse.
Ive noticed that standing still in certain parts of Sacrament i get at best 40fps which i probably got 30 before so good on that BUT again if i barely move it will drop.
The walkway of the bonfire thats between the Merchants and Gordon (Cafe) is still pretty laggy if I stand in that area I get 25-30 fps.
Now the Nameless Pass still needs work but its a lot more stable there as before I was get as low as 10 fps. Now i get a stable 25 to 30 and i can actually play the game in that area, BUT the top of the Nameless Pass near the elevator is still bad nothing has changed there.
TLDR: Transitions have gotten worse but the fps after that has gotten more stable to where places that were unplayable for me are now playable but not perfect as I still get on average 20 to 30 fps occasionally hitting 40 now after patch 1. I do get 60 fps only in houses and buildings like the inn. Overall getting better but still got some stuff to workout.
