Actually my imac has the ATI Radeon X600 Pro 128meg card.

fps is down to 13-15 sitting in station, spiking into 70s flying around but generally hovering about the same as inside.

beta 7 fps are in 70s inside, spiking into the 100s flying around but generally hovering in the 80-90 range.

640x480 is gone. The new interface needs 800x600 at least.
Try switching to 16bit modes. That should free up some of the 16megs of ram. However, the TNT2 is technically not supported, anyways. (edit: heh)

I took out the preloading of textures, so things should be better again.

The minimum resolution is 800x600 in the new client.

EDIT: nice timing :P

Wow. I ain't seen octree warnings since point NAN,NAN,NAN.

coupla folks in B-8 were messing around with a new Lua "teleportation" bug they found, that was probably causing the octree warnings...

(Sent email to Andy & Ray re: this framerate issue, but posting this here in case anyone else runs into issues...)

My ping under production client is 17/31/0, with bps in/out of 66/105
My ping under the beta 8 client is 33/37/15, with bps in/out of 20/39
I switched back and forth twice between each version as quickly as possible, these are averages. These readings were taken with exact same settings graphics-wise.

Framerates are roughly similar, (in Sedina B8, I get ~ 30 fps) except when in-station. When in-station in Sedina D-14 in the old 1.2.6 production client, my fps is ~20. When in-station in the new beta8 client, my fps is ~5. Yes. FIVE. Settings are the same between the two games, all are using the above graphics & video settings.
Beta 8 gives me ~5 fps inside the station Sedina D-14 (~2 fps if outside looking at the station)
Beta 7 gives me ~10 fps inside the station Sedina D-14
Beta 6 gives me ~10 fps inside the station Sedina D-14
Beta 5 gives me ~10 fps inside the station Sedina D-14

Whenever I quit ANY of the beta clients, I get an openglerr.log with one entry: “ max vram(67108864): . “
This doesn’t seem to cause problems, but I’ve always gotten it after quitting or logging off of the client. I get a new one every time.

Turning texture compression on immediately crashes vendettaclient on my iMac G5 client every single time I try to enable it, in ANY beta client or in the production client. I think we’ve been over this issue once, it has to do with the nVidia GeForce FX5200 (64 MB) card that’s built-in. So, that’s why I can’t use it.

Anyway, I dunno if this helps at all, but something has changed re: station graphics in the new beta 8 client, it seems.

When viewing the userlist, sometimes people will enter the sector, and the userlist will need to be wider. The content will become wider, but the userlist window will not, like so:
