how do I increase my FPS?

[brad1431]

I tried the methods in that long thread, but that didnt work. I have a cable modem and a less than 1 year old desktop which should have significantly more speed than 90% of users playing this game, why is my FPS so low. I am getting between 3-6 FPS, but in edgeville bank it is only 3 which doesnt make any sense. Oh, and I am in the United States in a US world

I've had the same problem as you.... what I did was customize the games graphics settings by taking away a lot of the textures and scenery movements and what not which aren't important to me, and I'm not sure my exact FPS but it made a world of difference as now I can actually move smoothly through Edgeville and GE.....

 

Hope that helps!!! :thumbsup:

The easiest and most effective way to increase your fps would be to use a smaller screen. A 1280x720 vs a 1600x900 for example would certainly run faster.

 

The frame rate issues seem to be widespread compatibility issues, so hardware specs tend to be a very poor predictor of performance right now.

 

stlboy07's suggestions also work. You'll probably get the best performance on open GL or Direct X (test them to see which runs faster) and stripping down all the extras like water effects and textures. Also, even if you still want a big screen, select a fixed screen size. Resizeable is the worst in terms of frame rate (fullscreen is also faster).

what is weird is that different times or worlds, I get differnt results, with no reason, I switched to another US world and got FPS of 20 and that at glacor's it was around 40.....
