I felt the need to take out Vulture for a spin today after not playing for some weeks. Went to the favourite RES in Kwazahui system. Two things stroke me:
1. The quality of the asteroid field went through the floor. It is so bad it isn't even funny. The high quality draw distance have been significantly reduced. The overall quality of the field beyond 10 km is that of a game made in the year 2000 or thereabouts. (Exaggeration, on a second thought) Close by 'roids look good and crispy as before.
2. Stuttering. Plenty of it. Now, I made this 2 minute recording, where you can clearly see two severe cases of stuttering and few minor ones, which aren't particularly obvious from the video. Anyway, it's pretty frequent when I fly agressively with few other ships in the vicinity. FPS drops to 20-45 from the usual 60 for a second or so. It's like going asleep for a seond in the heat of the battle. Dangerous stuff ..
3. Nimb, halo (don't know the correct term) around the area where laser hits shield -- is back! It used to exist before, but was ironed out IIRC.

My question is obvious: What's up with that? Investigated? To be fixed "soon"? The way it should be, cause... microsoft? All of the above? None of the above?
I tried to use search on the topic, but to no success. Would be nice if someone could enlighten me about FD reaction on this particular subject.
Thanks!
