I read through a 7-page post on framerate lagginess and people saying how bad it kills the game, how their 2ghz geforce4 machines couldnt handle it, ect. On the other side, people were saying that the poor framerates were from the AI and because of this there is no way to compare it to an FPS where you get 60+fps. Try turning the AI off using the console command. Push ~ then type help. Then look for the 'toggle AI' option. Put it in and toggle it off. Look at your framerate, walk around a little. No change. Same framerate. The engine is just too pretty or something. They need to fix it, it is comparable to Ultima IX in that respect. |

Yes there have been rumors saying the AI and/or the sky causes low framerates..but you can turn those both off in the console and it will not affect you one bit...and you can't blame the water either..stare at it and your framerates will rocket..
It's only when you have many animated things or buildings in view that framerates drop...Look at the ground boom, fps jumps hard core, same for standing right up to a wall, or looking at the sky (straight up)

Load the new house mod.... go inside and check your fps!
I'll bet money in a clean house with no A.I, NPC, or effects your fps will sky rocket. Last night i had 200fps in that empty house. So the engine is fine, it's just the overhead- all the A.I./effects, and such that drags your system down. |

There's an easier solution... name me what game ->"remove(s) all moveable items in the game" and has high fps?
Quake3, perhaps that's more your type of game if fps are the holy grail.
