After reading the changelog for patch 1.2, I noticed they didn't mention a certain number of key issues that have been discussed extensively.
What really worries me though, is the fact they don't mention any performance improvements.
Sadly when hustled hacks and chops are made to a game in order to fix certain overlooked aspects and appease a reasonably discontent mob, performance is not at the top of the priority list.
As a result I suspect the 1.2 patch will be even more detrimental to performance than the previous one was.
Those who have good enough setups and didn't notice any performance hit with patch 1.1 probably don't have much to worry about. Those of us who did suffer through it, might have to do a hardware upgrade or keep playing the vanilla version of the game.
