So the new thrust effects are cool...

[<SCRIPTKITTY>]

Yeah they look beautiful, But I have to turn on the frame-buffer to see them and that brings my fps down to a quarter of what it was just looking at a 3 block test ship.

Are there going to be alternative effects that us with non-god tier PCs can handle?

Or a frame-buffer delagifying scheme I don't know about?

I run starmade on a laptop that isnt godly in the slightest and the new effect doesnt affect my fps at all.

I'm not completely sure what that means. Is this a laptop?

 

[<SCRIPTKITTY>]

No I'm on a desktop with a 1gb nvidia card.

Sorry for the confusion

You might want to read up on this one.

Continuation of fps drops as updates progress.

So I guess I just don't have quite enough graphics memory to run it with the frame buffer on at the settings I am now. Ill continue tweaking then maybe that'll fix it.
The problem is I like my games to look nice and run fast xD can't always have both..

The more recent effects seem to have some strange compatability issues with certain hardware setups which result in massive frame-drops regardless of specs. So in future you may well be able to run them just fine.

Well that's good to hear. Hoping you're right.
