Help with performance issues with the new client.

[Orentius]

I started playing planeshift yesterday. It seems to be quite enjoyable

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.

You should be able to run PS just fine.
What OS (Windows XP, Vista - Linux - Mac OS) are you running? Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed?

[Orentius]

I have Windows XP.

I am downloading the latest driver now.

[Orentius]

I have the newest drivers. They do not help.

in options change the camera distance to a lower number and see if that helps any.

[Orentius]

It did not help.

Try Adaptive Distance under Options, and set it to a lower value. Also, in PlaneShift Setup, don't use too high values for Multisampling etc. You can also try to lower the resolution.

And check "Fps cap". If that was set to low you'll get lag. In my opinion it should be larger then 30 at least.

I figured it out. The Vertex Buffer Object in the Setup was causing the issue. When I switched it to off from default, the problem was fixed.
