How to deal with rendering issues and FPS stuttering?

edited May 2016 in TERA PC - General Discussion
I've always played Tera on a really bad PC so I understand I can't ask for miracles, however I do want my game to be playable. Mostly I've always been able to deal with it and been able to clear all PvE content so far. But since Ninja patch came out it's been particularly bad, and have way more rendering issues and FPS drops/freezes than usual, to the point mechanics like Imperator's cage or Dakuryon's pizza don't render at all through the duration of the fight (where I used to only have this issue for the first time a mechanic showed up in a fight, then rendered fine the following times) or decide to render randomly sometimes and not at other times. The end result is I spend a lot of time on the floor and it's extremely frustrating. And when I'm on a DPS class, I suffer a lot trying to be competent because the FPS stuttering doesn't let me do my rotations in a fluid manner. That on top of my relatively high ping.

I just want to know if anybody who has been having similar issues since the patch has found any solution, because it's becoming really annoying, and upgrading my PC is something I might not be able to do any time soon.

    You're not the only one, I'm having a hard time since the patch released. You tried the fps tweaks? There's also a guide for page files posted on tera eu forums, this one really helped me out. But let's hope they fix this fps drops, it's worse since the new patch

    I have tried some things but overall the problem persists. If I could get the game to at least consistently render mechanics after the first one (or ideally from the get go...), I could live with that as I've been doing. But entire fights without showing me one shot mechanics is simply too much.

    The ninja patch has brought up the same issues with me as well. Especially crucial mechanics not rendering whatsoever. I play on a potato laptop, so my fps has always been gross as well, preset 0 life, but similarly I've still been able to clear everything despite it-- the plexus never looked pretty all grey and without lighting but at least I could always see curls, debuffs, etc.

    But between Dakuryon's cage and pizza phase and the lasers on Demo Factory's last boss nothing is rendering for me, maybe once or twice during the entire fights if i get lucky. I wish I knew why, Fulminar's cage and pizza/donut phase always rendered for me before, same with other bosses' lasers like Meldita, regardless of fps and graphics setting.

    Really hope we can get some answers about this because it makes these dungeons unplayable (especially if you're a tank/healer and can't afford to be napping on the floor all the time).

    Been having the same issues since mid TSHM patch. I've come to accept that i need a better pc at this point. I've tweaked INI files, resetted my pc, -3 preset ingame etc. Nothing has worked
