On dx8 I could easily get 100 fps at essentially all times, but now with the forced settings for MM I hover around 50 when nothing is happening and dip down to ~20 during fights. When I was playing snakewater I got sub 20 fps almost the entire game. I can't aim properly. My computer is pretty bad but I wouldn't think that I should get 20% of the fps I was getting before just because of dx9. I even turned on sillygibs and it didn't really help.
Is anyone else having this problem/ know anything to try to at least make this game playable again?

It's gonna sound weird but have you tried putting your video settings on high? Flame made a thread recently about the game sometimes running more smoothly when placed at high settings and from this update that was exceptionally true for me.

mathsadare you on dx90 or 95?
It says 90 even though I thought I set it to 95 a few days ago.
And yeah, getting rid of my fps config did seem to help. I played a classic game of 6s swiftwater and didn't get fps drops as often, and I could tell I was idling at a higher framerate. It's not as good as dx8 but it's definitely better than it was before.
