I don't know if tick rate is the proper terminology, but the game started feeling like everything was on a delay. Some things I've observed:

• Blocks, when mined, fall in slow motion. It almost feels like low gravity.
• Blocks no longer mine normally. I'm used to seeing the gradual texture change as they break, but now they vanish for a quick moment before reappearing as the drop.
• I've noticed similar delays when cutting the bottom of bamboo. I can watch the pieces break one by one up the stalk and then all the pieces float down slowly to the ground.
• Moving around as the character feels normal, no delays or slow motion there.
• Eating food fails to fill hunger meter until a few repeated attempts have been made (feels delayed).
• Falling columns of sand combine into the bottom single block and then snap back to their stacked orientation. Sand columns falling onto a torch all combine and slowly break one block at a time.

I'm sure I could find other examples, but it feels like every action or event in the game is buggy or delayed in some manner. I thought it had occurred after an Nvidia driver update, but the issues are still present after rolling it back to when the game was performing normally.
