the-knee-jerk

I made 2-3 Million pretty quickly today with the trading module that shows current price vs average, just buying things that were way undercosted and looking for a place to sell them while my hyperdrive was cooling down (I was just going around exploring, so it would have been the only way outside of in-system trade routes, which from what I can tell are pretty rare).

Hello, Love the game so far (~60hrs), but I'm having some issues with my framerate, sitting at ~20-25 in empty sectors, ~3-9 during faction conflicts, and ~1 when fighting a large group of enemies, especially if my shields are taking high damage, I noticed it most during the AI boss, as it's pretty difficult to aim at the fragments, and it took me about an hour because of the fps issue. I run For Honor, GTA5, and Battlefield1 on ultra at 3440x1080 and get 80+fps with no frame drops in those games. My CPU Core1 hangs out at about 80% (the others are sub 40), and my GPU is sitting at ~20C and 10% usage. Ram is sitting around 20% usage PC Specs: I tried some routine and game-specific solutions I found on the web including: I hope this wall of text wasn't off-putting, I just love the game and want to enjoy it to the fullest and get the word out on how to fix the issues I'm having. A few things I saw in the logs: Here's the log, truncated because they're much greater than the allowable size: Thu Mar 23 06:02:29 2017| Client started: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Avorion\bin\Avorion.exe" "--serverpath=bin/AvorionServer.exe" Thu Mar 23 06:02:29 2017| Enabled Traces: Thu Mar 23 06:02:29 2017| Client Beta 0.11 r7783, running on Windows 8.1+.
