I also experienced freezes but no stutter fps is fine. Think i solved little problems by updating the SP first then MP then run it at windowed mode and its working fine now its just ocasionall freezes at MP (i was thinking its server related lag) i dont try SP tho. Well with diferent computers diferent problems i use 2K resolution so graphic card do all heavy lifting CPU usage is almost zero even GPU usage is at 20% top. On 1080p CPU do most of the job. If you ask me problem is in shaders it self maybe reverting to older versions that worked will help.

Singleplayer here - it's running flawlessly on Windowed mode.
I'm yet to test M-PLAYER BUT WILL TES THIS

Since the recent Patch the Windowed mode has Unlocked full FPS and has also made Preset Graphics 1 better it's now not as blinding, No laggy issues yet but need to get back the GMG base and further into the story - should previous problems persist I will update here

So I've been trawling the known net looking to see if there are any "in Depth" links to show what Bonus' and deductions can happen during the Story mode and yet cannot see ANY Anywhere.

Yep windowed borderles mode dont have vsync on and solved my alt-tab pain in the ass problem

the Alt-Tab og problems X-D

Sadly when running Dual screen setup if I go too far Left I lose my mouse cursor Any clue how to stop this in Windowed?

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

Depending on your graphic card either via the ATI or Nvidia software.

Alternative to that you probably also can use the window mode in the launcher options. I think window mode does not have vsync on.

Test in progress - UPDATE

CONFIRMED WINDOWED IS NOW BORDERLESS AND RUNNINF 140 FPS CONSISTENT

Quote from Martind Forlon

CyberBlueJackal about 60 fps: do you have vsync ‘on’? Try switch it off.

uhhhh.....how?

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

this update just got released

• The FPS lock problem should be fixed with it.
• Additionally to this CF now supports borderless window mode (set window mode in launcher options).
• The all landing scripts got completely rewritten and the launch scripts also got an syntax verification. This hopefully will fix the rare and random crashes when docking.
• A plugin error was fixed which at least in my case was able to cause crashes.
• Multiple improvements to HUD and UI were introduced (just some small detail changes)
• Fix to the texture lod issue on Manhattan bar
• Fix to broken scripts which rendered 6 bars invisible
• fixes to widescreen settings of certain stations
• improvements to 9 previously done base interiors
• the last 8 Rheinland base interiors got their visual updates

Downloaded but I'm still at 60FPS - I've done the shader erasure & also the "Add your graphics card to Info File"
Have seen it is running smoother

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

there is a patch coming soon

AWESOME!

so I'm trying to push the game for faster FPS as 60 is ok but my monitor (and Gcard) can push to 144mhz refresh for 2K resolution (2560x1440).

could people share how they boosted FPS please?

Bear in mind I have done the graphics card thing to add my 3060

(have marked as tech difficulties because it technically is

I missed it due to animal at vets

Quote from Ganein

No all of the time, but it usually happens half an hour to 45 minutes or so once I load up a save file. Oddly enough, reverting the shaders to vanilla FL seems to have fixed that. Though I did quite enjoy the graphical updates.

What shader option did you pick as I am using the DX 10/11/12 most of the time - this could also fix the Graphical issue I'm having with certain elemnts

300k! HOLY......THATS A SABRE BEFORE MISSION 2 PODDING GOT EASIER!

Right from New York waypoints should appear taking you through Texas towards New Berlin - you will receive 2 Ambushes from level 19 Nomads; First at the Texas to Bering gate, then when you first arrive in New Berlin (here you just need to take out the battleship) then you can head to Orillion on new berlin

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

Assuming you mean an RTX3060 it is only marginally weaker than my RTX 2070 Super. This by no means can explains drops to 21FPS.

Below you can see what I managed to reproduce on my tries.

The 75FPS is locked due to the refresh rate of my monitor. Assuming yours is 60FPS this should be the target in full screen mode with with the DX10/11/12 shader option.

Also assuming you mean these stations below... they render fine for me on a fresh install.

The very last pic shows unlocked FPS in window mode. 160-170 seems to be normal for me at least.

I can only do a few assumptions.

1. It could be a faulty driver on your PC. I suggest using DDU to completely uninstall the graphic driver and then install the newest version directly downloaded from Nvidia. IF that fails you can also try an older driver version (maybe the newest is bugged)

2. try a different shader option and see if you can reproduce exactly the stuff you showed in your screenshot on Neutro station. Maybe a different shader (from the launcher options) leads to different results.

3. Try if running in window mode leads to different results.

4. reset the shader cache and set it to unlimited size reset shader cache nvidia - Google Suche

5. reset the nvidia options to default

(do step 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 prior messing up drivers)

I'll have an in-depth read later.

my Monitor is 144mhz refresh rate if this helps, but I'll have a good peruse and look at these settings

Just another bit of problem proof, this is the complete fresh install - completely new game on base setting no modding or tweaking anything - FPS barely capping at 21

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

no patch since the initial 2.0 release (years ago) did even change something on the objects you mentioned.

maybe changing the details in the options will help... dunno

Complete fresh install today and it didn't fix it (removed every file first) have been toying with Graphics. NADA.

So I've just had to do a fresh install to see why my game has been lagging thinking it was just my PC (even though this is a power-house I had to check) and when I'm in space I get 60 FPS minimal issue, but the instant I am docked Anywhere (this is both SP and MP) my FPS PLUMMETS below 25! (see top left comparison, docked (top) & in space (bottom)) - only had this issue since the Patch, same for the Oeega-3 Ion Cannons and any DOM enemies (minus Kavash) ships and Ion cannons are completely INVISIBLE (forgot to mention the GMG base in the system you fight ancients, also got this problem)
