Okay, so initially, I just thought it was New Romulus, but I have noticed that in everywhere else in game, I am getting around 10 fps less than I usually do since the launch of Season 7.

I have seen this mentioned in the forums among others' myriad of crashing issues, etc since the launch of the season as well.

Please fix whatever you broke, Cryptic!!! Thanks.

I also would like to know if anyone else has this and could elaborate their issue, too.

Try setting your video memory manually in the video settings. Fixed mine better than before.

Try turning bloom off or to low

Strangely, clicking off shadow occlusion or whatever seemed to give me like 30 fps without much of a visual difference at all.. more than playable now, but I suspect they really messed something up graphically in S7... don't have a clue how.

Posting this here since I can't create new threads yet.

I'm using an nvidia card and am getting stuttering like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aEF5pYs6TY

I'm told this is an old problem with the STO engine that can be fixed by either rolling back to very old drivers, or changing the pre-rendered frames setting to 0, which you can't do in the new drivers anymore.

Is there another fix/workaround? I tried setting it to 1 but it hasn't helped all that much if at all.
