The pocket dimension in the Trapped mission has really crappy FPS problems... I tried turning down the graphics and I still only get like 6 frames. Im surprised I didnt blow up fighting the hirogen.

windows 7 nvidia geforce 250 gt (1gig vram I believe), 4 gigs of ram..

    It's weird for me , but changing from fullscreen to "window maximized" force the fps to jump from 20 odd to 60+. The game looks the same.

    Maybe doing that will also help you. It helped for me in wormholes and anomaly situation.

    I can confirm this FPS problem on "Trapped". Did some testing and found possible workaround by setting "Visual fx quality" to Low.

    Submitted Ticket ID # 740,908:
    There is a FPS bug in this mission where your FPS will gradually drop to 6, causing the mission to become unplayable.

    See player reports in the following threads:

    After some testing with graphics settings I can confirm that setting "Visual fx quality" to Low will stop framerate loss. Please keep in mind I normally get 60 FPS with this setting on High. I use a NVIDIA GTX 260.

    Unrelated, but I also noticed the space missions with lots of glowing gas cut my FPS in half. Turning Postprocessing Off helps a little on these.
