Why does the options menu permit humans right abuses?
Gentlemen, this is an atrocity:



Now I have it on good authority that at least one of our members is forced to play like this. And I have to ask, why does FreeSpace Open allow torture? Why are we enabling the degradation and punishment of our fellow human beings?

Re: Why does the options menu permit humans right abuses?
Texture issue, not engine. We need to remove mipmaps from the skybox textures, and the user needs to disable -mipmap.

Re: Why does the options menu permit humans right abuses?
I think he means HT's skybox mangled by FSO background detail level settings.
Notice that, despite detail level reduction, FPS still sucks.
I guess it's a good ilustration why we should optimize Karuna as fast as possible (though new Antipodes would most likely help too).

What I want to know is who did this, and what GPU is this running on?

I'm not actually requesting any changes, I just wanted to post this so people can boggle at what some folks put up with.  :(

It's MattheGeek's.

And he doesn't turn up the settings because...?

I don't think the options menu is to blame.

Rather, it's the ****ty hardware. (and the Karuna)

Wow, even my powerful NVidia GeForce II, 1.5GHz P4 computer makes FSO look better than that...although mine doesn't use those settings, mission, background, etc. :)

Reminds me of the loading screen of the Lost Viking minigame in SC2.

Space retro! All we need is an outline shader like the one in Borderlands!

I don't know... maybe because when I do, I drop back below 5 fps ?
And yeah this is using antipode 6. Which made be go above 5 fps for the first time on this mission in full screen.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

****ing seriously.

It's preferable that the game does not boot up at all, than to actually make it through the loading screen and see that.

Uhh, Hades, I use an Intel GMA X3100 and I don't get this at all (because I conveniently forgot to turn down in-game settings because I know it made BP:AoA a living hell for me).

I don't know... maybe because when I do, I drop back below 5 fps ?

Learn to play at below 5 FPS until you get a better framerate then. That's what I've been doing for the past two years.
