Reading the update, it seems as if their short term solution is going to be to automatically disable graphic candy and view distance in order ot help the problem. That approach would have me worried if I hadn't already stopped playing the game as my computer struggled even when I had already lowered most of the graphic settings.

It is disappointing that such a prominent feature is having such issues, since it was one of the things a lot of people were looking forward to. There are a lot of things to like about Age of Conan but in my opinion the game was not truly ready for release.
