First and foremost, I do apologise if this is the wrong forum, I do not know if this is the right forum for this question, but I need to ask.

I have been playing ddo for well, you can see it in my profile, I used to play on another account in beta, but that is irrelevant to my question. I know that every time there is a new patch, new update or anything, EVERYTHING seems to get real bad on the lag aspect of it.

Since the new patch, the lag has become espically worse. I recently learned about hitting Ctrl and F to see my framerate. (I am not a technical genius, never really cared to learn all this, but now I am tempted to learn more.)

My framerate is dropping to 3-6 FPS (if I am using the correct terminology) and at multiple points, I was stuck in one position for at least 5 minutes before it spiked to 130, and once any new animation came about, firing a bow, my dog using an ability, anything, I dropped back down to the 3-6 range.

Is there something I can do to fix this, or is this more on Turbine's side? I have been running virus scans and even went to un installing and re installing the game with no dice.

Thank you anyone and everyone who can help, and please, excuse my grammar and spelling :P I tried my best.
