Low frame-rates with lots of text?

[Lukwan]

I don't know if this is a bug or not. If anyone else has had this problem let me know please. I have experienced low frame-rates when I am in proximity to my tutorial ship.

Basic Day-1 Tutorial Ship

This has happened on my personal system and on a MP server. I suspect that this is related to massive amounts of text and displays on this build. While I was making this ship the problem would always begin to show as soon as a new display was added.

Has anyone had problems related to displays or text causing low FR?

I haven't tested your build yet. Have you tried testing with the mod that removes the display scanline removal shader?

Sometimes those shaders can be deadly to framerates.

Thx for that. I may try that one way or another just to get rid of that visual effect.

It seems funny to me that that our interstellar ships have clunky old CRT displays with retrace problems. In my day when your tube showed the retrace line it was time to sync the horizontal timing pulse to the fly-back transformer. I mean...geesh. For generations to come we will play games with lens flare when that artifact can be filtered out with 1970's era optics. But I guess lens-flare looks cool so...
