Title: Fred in Heaven.
Post by: Colonol Dekker on December 01, 2010, 08:43:14 pm

Does anyone else suffer a performance hit in Fred?
 
I used the recommended builds a while back to create a basic non-armour.TBL SSM strike on mars shipyards. But I find it HUGELY lagging in fred.
 
Does the General have any performance tips when "Fredding in Heaven"?
 
I only use wireframe view with backgrounds visible.

Well the biggest would be to... not... use... wireframe mode. That uses software rendering, which is really really slow compared to the hardware rendering that FRED does by default.

Oh shoot.
I hoped losing the textured ships would've sped it up. Thanks Axey poo. x

omfg. My PC lags with just a few ships in wireframe mode, I can't imagine BP stuff using it.

There's a reason it's only ever used for jumpnodes and nebula backgrounds :P
