Improvements to frames per second in hyperspace
« on: September 15, 2020, 10:23:34 PM »

I average 18 fps in hyperspace and have fps limited to 30 which I hit when in a system. What's causing hyperspace to drag my fps down and can I remove the background or other graphics to help? I disabled hypersapce storms using Grand Sector so that's not interfering.

an increase in sector size massively increases hyperspace performance requirements.
get rid of grand sector if you want better FPS.

Using Grandsector to actually reduce the size of the galaxy sped up my gameplay about three times. The galaxy is 4/5ths of the normal size. Thanks for the tip.
