(Citizen)jstarz01March 31, 2007 12:39:40Reply #24I think catphive has figured out the preformance problem with this game(at least for me).i turned the bump mapping and hardware transform and lighting back on ,which i thought was causing the framerate problem, and turned the specular intensity slider down to 0 (this slider is responsible for light shinning on ships)and now i have fully detailed ships with no framerate problems any more.it seems as though the way these ships are lit is what's causing all the framerate drops in my game. any one having preformance problems (lag)please try this and let me know if this helps you. good luck
