Terribly low FPS

[Deathstar]

Hello lads,

I got myself to check out the Build mod once again - last time I failed to properly install it, but now I followed all the FAQs and installed the game in a different folder (c:/Pirates/). I can say that it finally works!

However, apart from the frequent crashing, that commonly occurs after a loading screen, I have an extremely low FPS count and the whole game, no matter where I am, stutters like it's Crysis 4 on max details.

My comp:

Intel Core2Quad Q9400 @ 2.67 GHz
Nvidea GTX260
4 Gig RAM

Is there any way to fix this? I don't even mind all the crashes as much as I mind the FPS issue...

Cheers,

deathstar

Thanks for the recommendations Pieter, I ended up going with #1 ;-) .. the game is running smoothly without enhanced gfx or swiftshaders. It's a shame they slow down my system so much though!

I'll try reinstalling everything now without the Shader enabled.

So, you installed swiftshader too? That is very common and you are lucky it ran at all. When I do that it crashes.

Your fps will never be stellar. This program has extremely long draw distances, like kilometers. You are out in the open sea, after all.

My system is similar to yours and it can be forced down to single digit fps at 30x speed.
