Games seem to do that to improve and enhance and update.
double density, more rendering depth, 8 times the load because it is 
hardware , mostly not their cost and happening year on year.

  But little extra in game play crafting

Something else is wrong.
I am running much the same fps, cpu is at about 35 percent on one core, 
less on the others. Yet it seems like wandering around in an old style 
flicker film. or on drunk potion.
  It is not animating smoothly but jumping.

Those 4? columns in timeless you jump to get to a chest.
Just last week I did them, pretty easy, maybe a miss but often straight 
through.
Now I tried about 10 times, never once able to get past the third.
Usually not even getting the first. I ride, I jump and it just does not 
jump in time. Tried going early, still nothing.
Ping is normal, cpu is normal.
It is like there is a half second gate on actions, do something and it 
may delay half or 1/4 or be instant, depending how close the gate was.
Simple delay I am used to, this is random within limits.
