For lower-end PCs, or systems running Windows 7/8, version 1.0.4.0 often provided better frame rates than the subsequent 1.0.7.0 patch. The 1.0.7.0 patch introduced higher-resolution shadows but came with a heavy performance cost. Many players preferred 1.0.4.0 because it offered a middle ground: it had the stability improvements of the early patches but didn't tank performance as severely as the later "Complete Edition" updates.
