Not sure if you guys tested this before it went to the CDN, but now loading into zones is a slideshow. The prior patch made the game pretty stable, but this patch has made exiting the loading screen and showing the game world a super stutterfest. Cerrigar loading in was literally four frames. Not consecutive frames, one frame per two seconds totalling eight seconds to finally load in. Then it was another 30 seconds of massive stutter and rubberbanding moving around.
I’m really not sure how you can call this a stability improvement when it tanks performance so badly.

“Various stability improvements” = We don’t know wtf we’re doing. We need more time.

I just look at the patch notes list… Released as 2.0.0… Then we had 2.0.0a - 2.0f, then 2.0.1a - 2.0.1f, then 2.0.2a - 2.0.2g, 2.0.3a - d, then 2.0.4 and now we are currently 2.0.4c…
That is since October 7th, less then a full month and that many patches released and the game still is not fully functional…
This is ALPHA software we bought with the promise of a major game improvement.

weirdly, the most “stable” version of the game I’ve experienced was the release night version. Every patch has either (from my POV) done nothing or made things worse
Just got my first crash (freeze) this season (or for much longer) when trying to open party finder! 
I have a high end game card i can’t use because of all these improvements, so i have to play in low graphics mode, and with a gig connection i still run into invisible walls.
Yea I’m suddenly getting sharp fps stuttering and higher cpu temp spikes. Idk wth they did.
I got almost all of that low frame stutter and rubber banding when loading into new zones or after taking a port to stop, by shutting off Cross Network Play.
I’m not getting temp spikes, just insane stuttering. Almost as if every zone redownloads the shaders and has to compile them whle you’re playing. And this is after I sat for a while doing nothing just so the shaders could download, which has to happen every time the game is patched.
Every patch note have this and the game keep having a lot of bugs and crashes so fir me, it means they did nothing

Still getting crash to desktop every 1 to 2 hours.
Only happening since new expansion release, but it is annoying especially when it happens after clearing a pit or hordes - and bang - desktop windows.

Haven’t played in a couple of days…kinda skeptical about logging in again, don’t want to see it’s current random state. 
(To be fair it was not crashing for me when I stopped, I just stopped because I was bored.)
Been playing FFXVI which is a graphics intensive game…but does not crash. Some people like that kind of thing. 
I just feel that every time they release a patch claiming be stability improvments is just getting worst and more and more lagg, it has come to the point i can berly play the game anymore. With a complete new expensive computer bought and build this year can not handing the game, is lagging worst then any other game.
I just wish they stop release stability improvments patchen becouse they just getting it worst.
Meanwhile on xboggs serious x (professional hazzlefree gaming system - the better Pici) its running great. Not a single crash.
But the performance at worldbosses is unearthly. Lag & stuttering as its finest.
