Green Gas on Elachi Ship Ground Missions

Hey all, this is my first forum post. I did my best trying to search the forums for a solution to my problem, but was unable to find it without having to sift through several 100 pages of posts so here goes...

Overall, STO runs wonderfully for me, however, whenever I do a ground mission on an Elachi ship the game becomes incredibly choppy. I'm thinking is has to do with the green gas since that is not a common effect that I've experienced so far.



I played around with the graphics settings and eventually became frustrated. I noticed some of the lighting settings affects it, but what is the base effect for this type of graphic detail? Like I said, the game runs fine until that type of effect, so I'd like to only lower or turn off what I absolutely have to. Thanks in advance!

Try turning of Underwater View in the graphics options, that has been know to cause issues before in other missions, Step Between the Stars the most notable.

Thank you for the response. I tested it out on the Turnabout mission (Vengeance arc) and unfortunately it did not make a difference. The only thing that I've been able to find that 'fixes' this performance issue is to turn off Lighting 2.0. This Graphics option is fine for me to have on in any other situation. Thankfully this green gas effect seems limited to only a handful of missions
