Hmm, not everyone it seems. But the people who aren't having FPS issues generally have a more modern CPU than I do.

Really? I have almost the exact hardware you have and it rearely dips to 40fps at it's lowest and that with the Ultra settings in the useroptions file.
i7 950, running 16gb ram on a P6X58D-E (with Crucial M4 SSD & Asus Xonar Xense soundcard).
PlanetSide 2 @ Ultra - still 30 fps. by matthew-evans, on Flickr
I do run 2 other monitors at the same time when I play, but it shouldn't make that much difference - just went to a big Bio Lab fight now, 30 fps but did still go down to 20s with your config!

Well, I found a bug that I can't move the client in window mode, clicking the window edges keeps making it go full screen.
Yes, RocketPods are pretty naffed now. Sunds are pretty much immune from them now unless you really gang up on them.
There is a new bug with Brusters Maxs, you can hit a target and do no damage.

After a bit more playing, rocket pods against infantry are really underpowered now.
Just a moment ago, I fired all 16 rockets all hitting a group of enemy infantry and I could see the health bars on one of the soldiers am hitting, it was bearly moving it.
There has been tons of hidden changes that they didn't list.
They finally added the Horn for 650 SC! Something that should be in the game from the start and they charging £5+! for it! Makes me sick.

Sounds like they nerfed the rockets too much?
The max AA bug... I've been having this for a while now, not just since this patch
You see the explosion, but it doesn't register the hit, so it does no damage. VERY annoying.Great, so instead of making it more rewarding to be AA they just nerf the hell out of rockets and make aircraft vulnerable to everything, including small arms? Plus they make my bought rocket launcher not even work against armour but give me the option to buy another rocket launcher which for the moment will work against armour? woot. Think ill just use the unguided vanilla one rather than paying again. Once bitten and all that.
Still nothing on the alpha boost.
Edit - turns put my nemesis is only useless now and drops like a rock when blind fired. Goody.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
On a more positive note, my new buffed Skygaurd has been raping mossies all night, I almost hear them raging haha. Before the pod nerf, a single pass of rocket spam would take me out, but not anymore

Seems theyre sold on making it easymode for one side or the other rather than actually making an effort to balance it. Shame, its lazy, they should still be able to take you out in a pass but you should be able to knock them out quickly too... A bit like real AAA. Make it a competiton not a turkey shoot.
Well glad they got nerfed, but they didn't need to be nerfed so hard.
Was fed up of Rocket Pods being so good against Infantry, Ground and in the Air. It's just a shame they can't find a balance and either nerf something hard or buff something to much.
At least Skyguard is actually usefull now.

Well seems they've buffed inf to the point of not really having to try. At least previously if you got a couple of maxes up then you could scare away the mossies, now it seems it just A2A and with missiles thats a bit who can fire one off first. Its just become more important to be in the zerg.
Anyway, been on for an hour, really didnt enjoy it although I didnt actually fly. everything was dead quiet, we had 4 or 5 people defending a biolab at 11 at night? I suppose it could be the size of the patch but meh, it just feels like theyve made everything anaemic. Floppy rockets, my nemesis is rubbish and ill be ****** if im going to buy another launcher because of that, naff aircraft running around in a zerg. Tankside 2 it is.
Or maybe im just in a bad mood.

Doesn't look good to me. Just looks like a lot of blur/fxaa and lighting. The textures are god awful. It looks like a 3 year old DX9 game with some lighting and fxaa slapped all over it.
To be fair, he's not wrong. The scene itself isn't amazing, what is amazing is the scale of the scenery. Rolling vistas, littered with buildings, vehicles and infantry, slowing changing from day to night, with plasma and rockets, tracers and explosions lighting the scenery in different ways.
In motion it looks excellent.
In that screenshot, not so much
