Patch nr. 06

- improved performance on the CPU side
- fixed postprocess option
- disabled weapon switching on gamepad Y

Performance improvement detais(no infografic, raw data only ):

The performance samples were catched at the beginning of the Home/Marina(Canals)/Downtown maps, with 2 variants:

1) Shadows Quality = Ultra, Ambient Occlusion = On, Global Illumination = On, Film Grain = On, Chromatic Aberration = On, Vsync = No, Frame Rate Cap = 144
2) Shadows Quality = none, Ambient Occlusion = Off, Global Illumination = Off, Film Grain = Off, Chromatic Aberration = Off, Vsync = No, Frame Rate Cap = 144

As you see the 2) variant should offload grafics card.

Home:
A(I7/GTX770)-1(Ultra) ~51 -> ~51 FPS+
A(I7/GTX770)-2(Low) ~72 -> ~85 FPS

B(AMDFX8320/R9270)-1(Ultra) ~34 -> ~34 FPS
B(AMDFX8320/R9270)-2(Low) ~44 -> ~61 FPS

C(I5/GTX770)-1(Ultra) ~53 -> ~55 FPS
C(I5/GTX770)-2(Low) ~71 -> ~97 FPS

D(I7/R9270)-1(Ultra) ~32 -> ~31 FPS
D(I7/R9270)-2(Low) ~70 -> ~81 FPS

Marina(Canals):
A(I7/GTX770)-1(Ultra) ~62 -> ~62 FPS
A(I7/GTX770)-2(Low) ~82 -> ~100 FPS

B(AMDFX8320/R9270)-1(Ultra) ~44 -> ~52 FPS

B(AMDFX8320/R9270)-1(Ultra) ~33 -> ~40 FPS
B(AMDFX8320/R9270)-2(Low) ~40 -> ~52 FPS

C(I5/GTX770)-1(Ultra) ~55 -> ~60 FPS
C(I5/GTX770)-2(Low) ~65 -> ~81 FPS

D(I7/R9270)-1(Ultra) ~39 -> ~39 FPS
D(I7/R9270)-2(Low) ~67 -> ~88 FPS

Conclusion:
Performance on the CPU side is improved, but if you have old or weak GPU We recommend lower game graphics settings especially mentioned in the performance samples:
Shadows Quality = none, Ambient Occlusion = Off, Global Illumination = Off

Of course performance may vary in the "full of action" areas:)
