I'm fairly sure I'm having the same problem as the OP. Excruciating fps drop when in the vicinity of other players. So I guess this is a bump in case anyone might have a solution. I play on an Acer laptop (Aspire 5750G): i5 2430M 2.4GHz - Boost to 3.0GHz, Nvidia Geforce 520M, 2741 TurboCache, 4gb DDR3 Memory. I run at 30-40 fps until I come in contact with another player. Then it drops to about 10fps. Obv unplayable. The thought that I could play it fine if it wasn't for a small unsolved problem frustrates me. Any help or feedback greatly appreciated. Cheers. Side note: It might just be my laptop, but I'm so not privy when it comes to computer stuff, so please forgive me for my ignorance if it is the case.
