[TI] A way to increase FPS?

Greetings, I recently came back to Dark Orbit because I heard of the special new 3D update coming soon and I vowed to never come back due to the game being boring after a while as well Flash not handling this game well.

Since I came back, I tried using Firefox and as expected my FPS stayed around 8-15 FPS. Cleared up flash and what not and same thing, as well frequent lag spikes dropping it to 0-2 FPS especially if I or someone attacks me.

Then I turned to Internet Explorer, couldn't load up the page anyway, waste of my time.

Next was Chrome. It was better but only at a max of 28 FPS at times and the bare minimum was around 15.

Once again did everything, updated flash, cleared cache even using CCleaner to fix everything up. I would prefer having a minimum of 30 FPS that way it works very well. If there are any other suggestions to increase the FPS That would be very appreciated. Flash games were mostly a problem to me when ever I used any browser.

Hi WingSlasher,

Can i ask what your in-game settings currently are? Do you tend to play with relatively high or low settings?

Have you tried optimizing your flash player by increasing the memory that it is allowed to use? Please try using the following thread to optimize your flash player for the game;

My current settings in Advanced Mode are:
Backgrounds: Average
Ships: High

Everything else: Low/None

I normally play with Low settings but like to have SOME things in average, like the ships and background to still have feel to the game.
I haven't tried doing the Optimization but I'll give it a try.

 

one thing I noticed while working out some lag issues myself was that along with the above included was I also had to set
Website Storage Settings panel

in the flash player also by clicking on the D.O. link contained there and set that one for unlimited also .
I overlooked it several times because i deleted everything every time I had an issue so it took a bit to catch on lol could also try right clicking mouse on flight page and setting quality to low . good luck

 

WingSlasher, There are may things that can cause poor performance in browser based games. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest versions of your browser/flash/java? Try closing as many background programs as possible. Are you on a wired internet or wireless?

Please let us know the status of your issue.

Best regards,

I tried that once however I saw no optimization in FPS what so ever. I also tried closing as many background programs I could. I use Maxathon instead of Google Chrome since I constantly get lag spikes in Chrome than in Maxathon. I'm on a Wired Internet. AKA Ethernet cable. For good ping around the servers, but some cases it doesn't work.

 

Hi WingSlasher,

I apologize for the delay in a response from us, however it hard to suggest ideas that you have not already attempted in order to improve your FPS. I know that when i personally experience an FPS, it is either that my browser memory is running high (hit 'f' when in-game), my settings are on high, or my laptop is trying to run in power consumption mode which is no good for gaming.

I do hope that your FPS situation has improved however if you're still experiencing problems, it may be best if you contact support for further advice.
