Graphic slowdown question

Howdy. Ok, last week and now this week after the patching (both Tuesday I believe) my game get very laggy to the point I have to put all graphic options to the lowest possible options to move decently, but in mission even that doesn't help. I don't have the best rig (couple years old now) but literally the day before both patches it ran just fine and looked great. Last week there was a small patch done after and I was able to put my settings back to where I had them so I'm hoping that happens again this week but why is it happening at all? And why can't I find it happening to others? I know it's hitting more than just me.

    What were the old settings you played with? Graphics wise?

    Those are what the current settings are, I know I can get them higher but I put gameplay over top notch visuals so once I hit the sweet spot I just got lazy and stayed there. When I was testing it again, it was working good for a few minutes then slowed down again, restarting and it stayed good for the about 15 minutes I stayed on this time. Still no clue what's going on, just hoping that means it's working itself out

    And changing these settings does not help??

    If I put them all the way down it does, but when I tried to do the last featured mission and it was slow

    I would like to add mine has become very laggy and slow, since last week. My computer did fine with lighting 2.0 when it came out, but now, not so much for whatever despite not messing with the settings since the reset.

    What kind of systems do you guys have? CPU, GPU and RAM?

    Should we well enough to play the game. Could there be anything else causing slowdowns?

    When you play, try to play in window mode for a bit and open task manager. Are you running Windows 10?

    When you play and you notice these FPS drops, try and see what spikes in task manager, if it's CPU usage or Disk. And if it's Star Trek Online using all the resources or something else.
