In Game Video settings that will reduce rubberbanding.

I have come up with some video settings that help's reduce some of the lag and rubber banding issue in this game.

Make sure you play this game in Windowed maximized mode not full screen.

For any Cryptics games do not use full screen it just plain sucks even with a power full video card.

If you use Windowed maximized this will let you use your Alt option to exit game and use your dual or triple screen setup.I hate full screen mode be cause it will crash game some times if you use Start key or Alt + Tab where the game will minimize into the task bar.

I have played Star Trek online for 3 years since season two i was one of the beta testers.These will help with some of the issues that this game faces but not every thing.Most of the rubber banding issue comes from Cryptic it self for letting 150 + people on one instance that is there fault not are's.

One other little tip if you got a secondary hard drive i would recommend on reinstalling all your PWE games on that instead of the Main OS.This will all so help be cause the Star trek and neverwinter games are so big in size it will save space on your main OS HD.This way your main hard drive does not have to work so hard to find all the info.

    Thanks, this is a useful start for me to experiment with, especially knowing not to use Full Screen, I'd assumed that would be better.

    Yes i would recommend not using full screen with any cryptic game.

    Mods Can this Thread put as a sticky so it does not get lost.

    I don't see how this would help with rubberbanding which isn't related to graphics lag. Useful if you are getting graphics lag though.

    This helps a lot in the enclave, I'm still getting slowdowns in the Enclave but nowhere near as much except near the Auction House where things almost stop. There's still a small amount of rubberbanding everywhere.

    I did not say that this will stop the rubber banding issue that is cryptic's fault for letting way to many people on one instance in PE.
    This will help with the FPS that is all so included with Rubber banding.

    Some of the Higher end graphics all so count Tword the lag.

    Rubberbanding is NOTHING to do with graphics. All that is sent to you is the location of items and what they are doing, it is then rendered locally and has no bearing on latency and/or packet loss.

    It's useful for fine tuning graphics settings; but rubberbanding has nothing to do with graphics... May want to edit the title and intro text.

    You should turn off High Detail Objects and SSAO for a very sizeable FPS increase too. For me personally the game runs at 1080P, 60 fps most of the time I do solo stuff with almost everything but AA turned on and distances at 100-150% (8350 FX CPU, 8 GB RAM, HD 4850 card). As soon as I hit the city it goes down to 15-25 fps which is not a surprise considering people with GTX 680 SLI have 35 fps from what I've read. I don't really care about this.

    What I do care about is the 3 fps I get when I run things like FH epic, when I reach wolves or ice giants and they have some FX on them from spells. I've yet to find out what I should turn off to make this work properly. It's not a constant 3 fps, I run stable at 40-50 half of the instance, than something happens and it drops to 3-5 fps. Wish I new what to do...

    I must be blind because I don't see these setting in game, there is only very basic adjustments in the video settings tab. Or are you guys talking about modifying an .ini file or something? I looked around in the neverwinter folder and couldn't find any files i could modify. Any insight?

    The basic settings use 2 sliders to use a few presets, if you scroll all the way down there's a checkbox which will override the sliders and open up all the settings to be tweaked manually.

    DO NOT STICKY THIS DO NOT DO THIS.

    Use settings that work with YOUR video card. This will not help with lag.
