That's good to know. Thanks.

How do I know if the game is GPU accelerated? I get massive frame rate drops despite my system being more than capable of never getting any drops.

That would be an indicator. You can also check GPU usage; if it's like 0-5% in a big battle, something is wrong.

The usage fluctuates rapidly in combat so I guess it's being used.
I just can't figure out why my framerate in combat is so bad, at worst it drops below 20. A 2500k at 4.5 and 8 gigs of RAM (with 64bit Java) should be plenty, right?

Edit:
I've done some research and I think it might have something to do with AMDs OpenGL drivers.

Incompatible mods cause that problem, not ShaderLib.  I'm the one who has to jump through hoops and reduce ShaderLib performance to fix someone else's problem.  That said, update coming soon.

Edit: Update I decided to post in another thread: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=10931.0
It's a big troubleshooting section!
