I think they look better. Lasers now look all different that each other instead of pink lazorz

Got unplayable amount of graphic flickering since the last patch.
Tested it on 3 different machines so far and all is unplayable .

Playing through Wine so assuming thats part of the problem.
Nvidia graphics on those 3 machines.

the healer weaps look like its getting there..i can see how your struggling to superimpose the old stretched yingyang graphic on it. please keep working on it, shield trans graphic was without a doubt one of the most iconic weapon images of the game..

tsod, you have THE BEST signature. The end. Bumping for an answer to my questions...

Massive lag when starting AP, massive lag when slaves are deployed, massive lag when attacking AI...

...for a slight increase in graphical looks.

Improved my FPS by 5. My FPS is also much more stable now.

Tomte, I'm having the same problem and through wine as well. If you find any fix please lemme know!

Here is a avi-file of the flickering.
Its ~130 mb and filmed with a camera so not exactly top-notch quality.

Take it back, all beam weapons look the same.

It improved my fps a bit too. The problem is that memory leak/lag outs are much more frequent to the point where LagKiller stays at level 9-12 constantly. Was just level 6 before patch. Means that cloak graphic, weapon graphics, engine graphic, most sun graphics, almost all planets, etc are out the window trying to keep the fps up.

At least frames are 35.

lag killer maximum is 10. its hard to believe it reach 1012

seemed like 12. nothing was on.

the sad part was medium graphics had a more stable lagkiller and fps...at 8fps, than low's 20-30 and 9+ lagkiller

On a side note I noticed that lagkiller stops the *bump* from planets at high levels, you just disappear inside them.

Kind of bad looking/confusing for new players who see their ship disappear.

the lagkiller is not meant to keep thngs pretty. if things stayed pretty it wouldnt need to be part of the lagkiller code ;P.

the goal of the lagkiller is to give me the possibility to disable things that cause lag at the cost of graphical feeling. to try to keep it playable.

Wasn't sure if it was a bug with the lagkiller or not.
