When I first start playing the game, it runs nice and smooth - but sooner or later it'll hit a bump and all hell breaks loose. As in, I'm just playing and bam a HUGE FPS drop and heaven forbid I'm moving otherwise It'll be a nice little power point presentation.

My PC isn't uber fast, but it should be fine for this game at medium-high settings:

pentium D 960 3.6ghz
nvidia 9800GT
2gigs of ram
NZXT 500w PSU

And I know the graphics card isn't overheating. At any given moment in the game, the temperatures hover around 65c and it stays there when my FPS returns to normal. Also, I toned the graphics down a bunch and it still drops from time to time. I used that slider on the video tab to make it faster at the cost of performance. Looked horrible, but still the same outcome.

    Played some more. It's noticeable when I'm alone in an instance, but it doesn't compare to the drop out in public.

    Outside it drops to 1-2 fps at random
    eventually comes back to hovering around 30fps
    inside instance im going to guess it hovers around 10fps
