Yeah man. I just tried the latest update, verified the files, still doesn't run through the steam launcher and still running like I'm on a PC from two decades ago. I've Never had a game perform this badly on low settings ever.
Live version for me too. I haven't tried the game in any of other versions since the issue. Along with the severe FPS drops after the last update, I now can only open the game through Bannerlord.exe, the Steam launcher no longer works for me.
I have this issue too. To the point the game is now near unplayable. Before the last two updates I barely experienced FPS drops and now its like I'm playing the game at half speed with consistent freezing and lag time when opening anything in the UI or entering a city.
I can't even play the game anymore unless I want to watch a slideshow. I went from the odd frame drop to full lag when zooming in or out on the campaign map.
