Aug 19, 2003 funbags link
Whenever im out cruising, its all fine and dandy.

Then, if a space station gets in site of me, in my screen at all, in about 30 seconds, i will of moved about 3 inches. It freezes up. Any comments or help i can get?

Graphic card?
VRAM?
OS?
Processor speed?

I have the same problem, and it's only with the stations withe the spinning habitats. I have yet to recieve a response for this. My ping drops (packet loss) and I can't move. I'm stuck playing in sectors 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 14, cause I can't even get the stations in a corner of my view.

Try lowering your texture resolution. The stations use a lot of texture memory, possibly resulting in "thrashing". Alternatively, try turning off illumination maps.

Nope, I get it once in a while just out of the blue, usually after a major patch. When it starts happening, it will continue to happen until I re-download Vendetta twice, and trash my Plists. Over 56k, this is not fun.

a1k0n, it wokred, now I just have to worry about large asteroid belts. ^_^ Thank you. THe funny thing is that it started about two updates ago. Wasn't having a problem before then.

Anytime I have textures set to very high the spinners kill me.
