In the interest of trying to stave off a few "Omg halp" threads, here, this is where all the settings were moved to. They're on 3 separate tabs now instead of 1.

    What was the point in changing this in the first place? Seems pointless...like the REST of season 9...

    =D I has a warm fuzzy now.

    I hope this can help people out.
    Personally, when the graphics changes hit tribble it really impacted my performance. It seems that changing my shadow settings from high to low fixed it without needing to turn anything else down from maximum.

    Shadows eat a lot. If you're having performance problems.

    I definitely recommend messing with your settings some.

    Will do.

    Once I can get back in.

    Trying to switch to "Fullscreen" from "Windowed" crashed me...and now the bloody error reporter is telling me "Sending Full Dump - 52 minutes remaining."

    WHY did they mess with the graphics? Everything was fine as it was... nice and crisp, now it all has an atmospheric haze to it.

    You can change it back. You just need to mess with the settings a bit.

    I need to try this when I get home. My performance took a nose dive after the graphics reset.

    I guess it all depends on hardware, my wife had to change the render scale when she logged in, took her a few minutes but she sorted it all out. However when I logged in, everything was set to maximum, even AA, which I usually only use at a x2

    If you are using an Nvidia card, it could be due to TXAA. After the update I found that the game defaulted to using that instead of MSAA, which resulted in a subtle blurring effect that made textures appear hazy. Try changing your antialiasing.

    The biggest problem the graphics related performance issues isn't in the hardware or software, or the settings.
    But rather in the players who have been led to believe anything less than 60 fps is bad graphics performance.

    I personally am more than happy with my 4+ year old Radeon 4870 only giving me ~40-45 fps at maximum settings in game. It still plays smooth with no skipping or hiccups. And everything looks great.

    Well except once since season 9 began, I entered one of the "explore unknown system" areas in the Eridian belt and my ship looked like a blur. But was normal in sector space.
