Hi all,

I am having low FPS on some maps, about 25 to 40 MAX.

This is very noticeable around DS9, were the MACO vendors are or in Kithomer Accord ground, where you enter the generators room.

But basically every place with lots of effects, smoke etc.

The strange thing is that I have tested everything, from putting low resolution (which improves a bit) to testing different antialiasing, distances, etc, but nothing seems to greatly improve the performance.

This is my hard specs:

CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9550
RAM: 4 Gb
GPU: Geforce GTX 560Ti
HDD: 250 Gb
Last drivers updated for everything, including last beta for nvidia.
DX updated also.
Resolution to play: 1280x1024

I can play virtually any game without any issues, like Crysis 2 maxed, but STO not.

Now I am reinstalling the game, which I didn't since almost 2 years, lets see if that helps.

Other people with similar system specs can run the game at 60 FPS in higher resolutions, which I dont since I dont have a monitor that big.

Any help would be highly appreaciated.

Thank you in advance.

Try /showfps1 and then ALT+F12. Somehow I suspect it's the UI issue, described in several other threads already.

Thanks Suavek, I will try that, I was not aware of that UI issue you mention.

One question, open for everyone, my system specs should be more than enough to play the game maxed, right?

I mean, there is not way I need more hardware, right?

Thank you.

It SHOULD be, but don't be surprised if it isn't. I get constant 60fps even during huge fleet actions when I turn off the UI, but it can get as low as 15fps if I open the inventory. And it somehow only got worse after the F2P patch...

Just to confirm, it is that issue. I deactivate the HUD and the FPS doubles going even to 127...

Any solution to this so far people????

Thank you.

I have raised ticket
120202-000276
for this issue, sometimes is becoming very hard to play, on DS9 or ESD space, when fleets wants to pose, gods knows why, is killing my frame rate...

Do i have to update my entire PC to play a game of 2010?

EDIT: The ALT+F12 thing works, is there any way to improve HUD performance Cryptic?
