Post-Firepower patch performance

EDIT: See http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1256305.

Greetings,

As previously stated (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1100928) I have had some problems with the performance of my system in Shattered Horizon which seemed to solve themselves after I switched from an NVIDIA GTX 295 to an ATI Radeon HD 5770 (ironically).
After the Firepower patch, however, I find myself having insanely low framerates, and performance is overall making the game borderline unplayable. I figured this might just be my machine being a freak, but I soon found a friend of mine whom I have been gaming SH with previously comment on the issue on his PC as well.
Now I'd like to know: Is anyone else experiencing a significant drop in performance after the Firepower patch, is there an explanation for this increase in system requirements, and is it being looked into by Futuremark?

Thank you.

There have been many other threads already started regarding this issue.

It is a bug with the coding that is causing this for some people with certain GPU's and drivers though not all (I was completely unaffected, but I don't have the latest drivers... I think). A patch was release within the last few days that fixed it for quite a few people but not everyone.

Before you go complaining about FM having the arco accounts to test this out and still releasing it with this flaw think about it. The number of Arco members is small and there are a huge number of GPU and driver combos they would have to work with and they simply do not have the number of arco members to try this out on (since they do not want to fragment the gaming community as other people have also unjustifiably said).

I recommend you post in this thread

and remember to post your computer specs including what drivers you have for your GPU.
