Fps?

lowered almost all of the graphics and it has not changed. hmm

Shader Level and Texture Detail Level have the highest fps impact. If you change these two settings, you'll have to restart the game before they take effect. If you still don't see any improvement, then there's no need to worry about it.

Ok the graphics are really messed up. I was having things disappear, all of the smoke looked like a net in my face my cannon shot was blue, Fire looked like blue light and the shrapnel from the ships was just boxes. Half of my ship was missing, and the fps # was still really low. Something I can do to change it?

No matter how I set my graphics, I have those visual problems as well. In some situations, other players and NPCs are rainbow colored. I reported these problems as bugs.

You may have VSYNC on which sets your Frame rate to your Monitor Frame Rate eg. 60, 70, 75, 85, 100 etc.
