Once you get to the initial game menu, choose Configure. I believe that's the slider you're talking about for game performance.
Based on the fact you weren't having this problem before though it may be a re-install needed deal.
I'm not sure about the patch, but I'm guessing unless you did a "manual" patch you'll have to use the update button again as before.
