I'm one of those who had a pretty smooth experience with the patch and found no difficulty using the workaround.
I just wanted to contrast the negativity being thrown out on this forum, the hotfix downloaded for me just now in about 20 seconds, the game is running smooth as butter and I have not experienced any stuttering (I didn't experience any prior, either). I'm actually enjoying the features of the patch.
While I do understand that others have had difference experiences and no doubt emotions and tensions are running high, I remain mildly disgusted at the negativity and behaviour, especially absent productive dialogue, exhibited by some people on this forum.
I hope that some fixes or adjustments find their way to you as soon as possible however there are better ways of promoting helpful user to user discussion than simply utilising passive aggression, abuse and invective.
