Title: Help with performance issues with the new client.
Post by: Orentius on June 11, 2008, 11:03:21 pm: I started playing planeshift yesterday. It seems to be quite enjoyable :D

The problem I am having is my frame rate. The game is almost unplayable. I see one click of movement every second.

I am using the default settings for the game.

My system specs follow:

AMD Athlon 64 3400+
1 GM RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS with 256 MB memory
400 GB Free Hard Drive Space on a 500 GB Hard Drive
I am using the onboard sound with my motherboard

As far as I can tell, my system far exceeds even the recommended system specs.

Any help would be appreciated.

What OS (Windows XP, Vista - Linux - Mac OS) are you running? Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed?

I am downloading the latest driver now.
