In sectors 12 nd 2 my lag sky rockets. Its not due to the internet it is due to my compter although i don't see why its having proloms compaired to some poeples. i have tried alot of settings and gotten it down in the other sectors. But those 90k polys and 50k verts kill me. I am running OS X 10.2.5 on a dual 867 MDD with a Geforce 4 MX in int 64 megs on it, and 512 Ram. It gets better with the high end settings. Never had this problom in 3.1.x. I donno what i am trying to accomplish by posting this, but any help would be appriated. (ps sorry for spelling never been good at it)

I'm on a windows XP based laptop (1.8 ghz p4m) with an ati radeon 9000 mobility (64 meg) and 512 mb 266ddr sdram on cable internet. Even with the settings maxed I have no problems with lag or framerates that are below 60 fps. Maybe it's your connection...

I have had some problems with very crowded sectors (lots of rocks!) but I changed resolution down from 1024x800 to 800x600 and it has cured it. Nearly all my graphics options are set to the lowest too. I have a AMD Athlon XP 1600 CPU, WinXPpro, 512DDR RAM, MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 Graphics. I think that it should run ok without changing anything - and in fact it used to (until Patch 3.1.13) but now it doesn't!!! :o(

Also btw, the sliders for the graphics options for draw distance etc - which is high and which is low? is 1 high or low?
Which one should run faster? 1 or 20?

20 should be faster.
