After a few months of not playing, I decided to boot back into my old StarMade server, and was faced with the unfortunate case of absolutely horrible performance, which is probably the reason I stopped playing originally. Is it still massive memory leaks?
I have a farily old rig (basically one that was powerful in 2008-2009,) yet I still get high frame rates in games like CS:GO and Dota 2, all be it on medium settings, however in StarMade I have pretty much everything disabled such as stars, bloom, background image, and I have low draw distance and FOV, but when I\'m near my space station my framerate floats around 25 fps, and when I turn my camera it tanks to a gut-wrenchingly low framerate of 0-5 fps. I\'m not asking for some sort of 1 step solution to getting good performance, I consider myself a tinker, but I can\'t figure out why the performance is this bad. My best guess would be enormous memory leaks but I don\'t know.
My build is:
Core 2 duo E8400
Nvidia 9600GT
DDR3 1333mhz 8GB ram
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
any help is appreciated.
