TumblerSW Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I've been noticing that the Empire station, a place I visit frequently, has been getting worse and worse on the performance side of things. Many times I'll get 5 fps because there are so many people standing around. The common factor when this happens seem to be that number in the upper left. Any time that gets into the 200's the performance goes to heck. Can we please have the option of choosing an instance that is empty or maybe capped at 50? I'm assuming that performance is going to be an issue as the engine is constantly trying to load player appearances and once it gets enough players on screen then performance goes to heck. Can we have an option to use instances that are smaller? I don't have the strongest hardware out there and don't want to go spend hundreds of dollars just so my time on empire station doesn't look terrible. When I take the elevator up to my ship the game runs great. I go downstairs and it's trash. Please make smaller instances an option for ppl with low powered hardware Edit: And while you're at it, make GTN purchases go straight to our inventory, it's annoying as heck to have to walk to that stupid email system to get our items. And put another vendor that sells all that flux stuff right next to the GTN. I hate driving over there when I'm collecting resources to craft.

Hairless Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Point your camera to the floor and zoom in all the way so you don't see other players, just the floor. This might increase your FPS so you can actually walk around at normal speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillen Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Ugh, last thing this game needs is to separate people even more. Sorry, but get a better computer, don't ruin it for everyone else. I know you said make it an option, but you (and others) going into smaller instances affects everyone else.

PjPablo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think the last thing you need is fewer people around. People are already complaining about a lack of people. Your issue can be self corrected by improving your hardware. Issues like that shouldn't result in BW making changes to accommodate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
