I don't think it's the FPS cap, or at least, it might be more than just the FPS cap. I think it has something to do with the removal of the "Use Advanced Lighting" checkbox from the Advanced menu under the Display tab and now it's locked it to on.

The "Advanced lighting" always looked absolutely terrible to me; constant flickering, super bright/washed out, and absolutely tanks my laptop's performance with more than a dozen people onscreen so I always played with it off and noticed immediately when they forced it back on. You can force it off with the "/dyn" command and zoning, but this completely disables ALL dynamic light sources.

I think they're forcing it on to do something with trying to restore classic night vision, but Advanced Lighting wasn't classic, looks terrible, and tanks performance for certain hardware, mostly integrated or older discrete GPUs from what I've gathered.

I'm curious, if people who are having a problem could go to somewhere like the tunnel, and check their FPS with /dyn on and off (remember you have to zone for it to take effect) it might help narrow down if this related to the problem or not.
