  1. I do not understand why I have low fps in both 2d and 3d mode, while I can run high settings on games like League of Legends, CSGO, EVE Online. Can someone help me please?

    Actually I have this problem->https://s11.postimg.org/svlsbauwj/APUGEN.png and I do not know what to do, because it has never happened to me before. I have the same problems like you with fps. I play LoL on ultra settings without shadows and I have 60FPS. So what is the point of these problems?

    The game is designed to run with maximum of 60 FPS and cannot run any higher regardless of your graphic card, processor and monitor specs. Most players average about 30-40 FPS and once this starts to drop they perform a browser and flash cache clean. Distorted images can have many causes the most common causes are incorrect graphic card and monitor settings, outdated drivers and defective hardware. To trouble shoot distorted graphics you will need to check all your different settings starting with your monitor making sure that that your display settings on your computer are set to the correct settings for your monitor for example a 19 inch standard flat screen monitor would be set at 1440 x 900 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

    If I were to describe Darkorbit like it was a standard PC game I would say it is unoptimised as hell, I have a GTX 970 GPU, a SSD and a I5-4690k CPU I would expect a constant 60fps playing this unless maybe if 50+ ships or something was on screen... but nope as soon as there is just a bit going on screen the fps easily drops to at least 30-40~* and of course can become "jumpy" or as people seem to describe it "laggy".

    But nope this isn't a "standard PC game" its a browser game so the answer to why it runs like crap is not straight forward, I'd assume its something to do with it being played in a browser or to do with flash that just cant run it well or something, or maybe the code what not really is unoptimised who knows. I know one thing for sure though it barely uses much of my GPU/CPU(especially GPU) and not sure how much more it uses when there is a bit/lots of things going on but deffinitely still barely uses much of my CPU/GPU.


    Though if you actually are getting low FPS just in general even when nothing is happening on screen then try using a clean empty browser, as in just try installing a different browser to easily check if your current browser is causing low FPS(maybe due to add-ons/extensions or something). (of course also make sure Java/flash is up to date if your browser doesn't use its own thing, though if it does make sure your browser is up to date as well(probably should even if it doesn't use its own thing))

    *(in spoiler to try reduce size of post since looks like too much of a wall of text lol)
    Though to be honest I don't really pay attention to or check FPS when I'm playing darkorbit, what I've said is just going off what I remember off top of my head. Cause I'm pretty sure on darkorbit you can be "jumpy"/"laggy" even if your fps is 60, so at some point I just didn't bother looking at what my FPS was anymore since it doesn't seem to matter and it fluctuates like mad when stuff is happening on screen(which annoys me).

    Kyro you are absolutely right I do not understand what is going on with this game. My screen tears every time like one second - tear, one second - tear . It is horrible.
     
  6. So what should I do to get 30+ FPS?
