Leviathan sector kills fps?
For some reason the leviathan ring/bot drops my fps down to 3-5. I have to lower my graphics almost all the way to get barely 20 fps. Usually my computer can take my usual almost-full graphics settings in any system under any circumstances, so I think this is a bug.
Same here. All other gameplay FPS is 100 or above; in a Levi sector it drops to a trickle.

Ditto.
Running Suse Linux and I have to turn virtually every graphic detail off in order to get anything approaching normal frame rates.
It only seems to occur when the levi itself is in or near the frame -- if I'm pointing away from the levi (it's behind me) frame rate is normal even if there are a bunch of other bots trying to kill me at that time.

That happens to me sometimes too, but it never happened to me in Sedina C-9 when it had an abandoned ring in it, so it can't be the ring itself.
hundreds of cargo pods is why it kill fps.
doesnt on mine,did with max settings targetls,but no more.

I turn effects down to low and turn off full screen glow whenever I'm going into a cerntral hive sector. This has a far grater effect on FPS than the LOD settings.
This never used to happen to me. There should be a work-around for it.
Ok this now happens in Deneb O12 with the new BS mission.
It's only when the levi or the the caps ships are actually in the screen view. Additional data:
If I run VO normally I get an FPS of 1 or less.
If I go to the graphics options and turn everything to LOW or OFF, it changes the FPS by a half an FPS -- so I get maybe 1.5.
If I go into video options and start turn texture detail to LOWEST and start turning texture maps to OFF I can get to 4.5 FPS.
In "Normal" sectors with this configuration I get 40-50 FPS even with lots of roids and NPCs.
My feeling is that it has something to do with textures on the cap ships, so I'm open to suggestions for what I can try around those lines.

We need to know exactly what video card, driver and os versions people who are experiencing this have (thanks EddyHolland). I talked to someone in game last night who was running linux, so it's obviously not just a Mac issue. The more detailed info we have from each person experiencing the problem, the more likely we'll be able to reproduce and then fix it.
