Coppy gameplay and poor performance

Its been a while since last I played, but I wanted to play some today.
But it didnt take long before I started having performance issues while playing.

The gameplay is choppy, I get constant 1-2 second freezes or very low FPS, and no matter what I do it does not help.

I'm running the game on a Desktop computer with the following specs
  • AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition, 3,3GHZ/3,7GHz Turbo
  • Corsair SSD Force Series 3, 120GB
  • Western Digital Caviar® Black 2TB
  • GeForce GTX 560Ti 2 GB
  • Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB
  • Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit

I never encountered these issues previously so I cant help but wonder if this is an issue with the latest update.
Can anyone tell me if its just me having these issues or if its something more widespread, and if there is a way to improve this?

    I'm also suffering from random FPS drops as well. No matter what I do in the graphical settings, it seems to stop for a second for no good reason.

    Even when I log out and go to the title screen it's still occurring. It can't be my desktop computer because I was able to run it smoothly over the last few months, it's only now it's happening to me.

    Am also getting these random stutters while on missions, or even running around New Romulus Command etc, didn't notice them till about I donno ? a week ago or so ? Also Just today I did Mind Games, on my romulan toon and the space battle at the end was a Fraking Nightmare FPS wise, and it never was before. I went into the battle with a steady 60 FPS and once it started up I dropped to 8 FPS WTF ? That is Absurd!

    I don't know what Cryptic has done to the rendering engine but my system shouldn't be having ANY issues at all with STO, especially when I am the only player in the mission.

    My System.

    AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.8GHz
    8GB of G.Skill Ares Cas 8 1600MHz
    MSI R9 270X Gaming 4GB

    This system plays BF4 maxed out @ 1080p minus AA and I don't get any stuttering. Fix your Damn Rendering Engine Cryptic!

    Add me to the list. In the last couple of weeks the gameplay is getting really bad, slow downs of 1 sec everywhere, i hope this is fixed soon.

    This is an engine issue and is not related to system build as it has started majorly with certain maps for a lot of people just after S9 was released. Please refer to the following threads on the issue as we await feedback from the devs once the new Delta Expansion is released:

    No. It is not that.

    I already knew about the bad performance after season 9. Its something else. Even in episode missions, you are running smoothly through the map and you have moments of slowdown without any reason at all while the overall performance is just fine. I suspect this happened after the last updates. I didnt suffer this 2 weeks ago.

    BUT, i think deactivating the postprocessing helps a lot in this matter, that has nothing to do with the overall bad performance of the engine in some zones.
