Hey, been putting up with a crappy frame rate the last few months. It used to be in the hi 30s to mid 40s consistently. Now it seems to fluctuate alot but really hits some single digit lows when in a furball with 20 or so other planes around. The system is home built, P4, 3.0 gig, 4 gb memory, 512 vid card running Win XP with time warner cable. I followed some of the tips here, lowered my vid settings, 512 textures, disabled anti aliasing on my Nvidia card etc. Disabled skin down load and other skins, running game boost etc. I have done virus scans and spybot to make sure nothing runnin in the background although Im not entirely convinced something isnt running. My system idle seems to be jumping alot. Since trying some of the tips It has gotten slightly better but not much. Anything I'm missing? ANy other tips I can try? Can it be my connection? I even had someone PM me that I was warping the other day, 1st time I ever recieved that message. Its starting to really effect my ability to enjoy the game. Its at the point where I have to fly solo and find individual engagements. Any help appreciated,,,
