Thanks HiTech and gang for the latest patch. It fixed my issue with the gunsight and now it's back to how it used to be. Also, whatever other fixes and tweaks you did also helped as well. Increase in frame rates by about 15fps with self-shadowing and local reflections turned back on. The stuttering is still there though, at times its not so bad but when large amount of players show up in a small area or there is a large draw section, it will still stutter. Hopefully next patch will remedy that. Just wanted to say thanks.
