Think FD have changed some graphics settings

[rebelredneck]

Now it is showing no server issues I decided to log back in to see if it was playable and not playing like treacle as I found after 1.3.1

Before 1.3.1 I was running the setting on Ultra (even with my aging radeon 5700) and it was working fine with minimal lag between screens (talking 10 secs tops)

Post 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 I was taking anything up to a minute or so to access screens but put it down to the server issues we have had for the past 2 days or so.

But this morning the servers are running fine (touch wood) but I was still getting lag

So I put my graphics settings down to min and zipppity doo dah lightening fast, upped it to med still fast, up to high slight lagging on screens, then up to ultra and kills it.

SO seems like I cant play on ultra anymore after 1.3.1 but can play either on med with no lag or high with fraction of lag.

Roll on my new 980ti card

I have to test this today. The screens were abysmally slow last night but not in a million years would I have thought it has anything to do with graphics settings. It's pretty weird to say the least.

I've just finished a session and was wondering the same thing. With 1.3.00 my FPS was around 80-90 (HD 5700 here also) with hardly any delay opening the maps etc. - a big improvement over 1.2. But this morning I was lucky to hit 45-50 FPS even on low settings.

And don't get me started on the hitches in RES every 5 seconds or so. So much for the performance optimizations.
