General poor perfomance on new ESD

Seriously, new season is cool and all, but this update made me realize just how MUCH cryptic needs to optimize their HUD UI.
Putting everything in graphics to the lowest setting gives me 10-15 fps at most in comparison to the highest in new ESD(doesn't make any sense to have so little gain), whereas simply turning down the HUD gives me 40-50+ FPS lol on new ESD, and around 25-30 outside it, i don't get why new ESD benefits so much from turning down the HUD.
New undine battlezone is also a stutter fest when there are 20 ships plus fighters/shuttles/etc shooting another 20 undine ships/planet killer in sight.
Its still playable of course, but could be so much better, i have seen a lot of people complaining about the same things on ESD too.
Also oddly enough, i was getting a slightly better performance on tribble in comparison to holodeck, despite having to put shadows on low due to some weird bug with them.
what are your thoughts people?

Before, I had everything nice and crisp! Then, they had a forced-upon-us graphic reset. Now, the best I can get out of the game is like... having glaucoma or something. If you zoom right in on something, it's not so bad, but hey, we're supposed to be in SPACE.... everything is MILES AWAY. And besides, my main now looks like he's a strung out meth addict or something. Gonna have to go do something about those dark circles under his eyes.
I've wasted like 2 hours just tinkering with various combinations in the graphics settings. If I find something that gets me back to my former glorious crispness, I will put it on the forums somewhere. That's like 2 hours of missions and Doffing I've missed out on. And that includes the new content.
HOW DO WE FIX THE BLURRYNESS? If this isn't resolved, soon, I'm moving on to a different game. And yes, it's everywhere. And no, asking for help in different channels gets zero response. It's like everyone is just wandering aimlessly around in a (literal) blurry haze, man.
Yeah, this mission has big performance issues for me. It's almost unplayable.
Change your resolution scaling to 1 in the Display options.
that is because when you press Esc, the HUD UI "shuts down" , seriously this HUD needs some serious optimization.
you probably have half-resolution turned on, turn it off.
Sometimes this still happens somewhere else, but never as bad

YESSSS, thank you thank you thank you
Greyhame3 and Phoenicius... Finally, someone actually helpful. GOD it makes all the difference. Now I might actually want to play my new KDF Trill toon. She is sadly in need of attention, flying around in a poorly equipped Vandal lol.
Thanks again you guys... keep on Trekkin
that masive battle with the undine was epic with out any lagg
only a little bit to much ships but it was fun
i did run everyting on max setting with so 40 FPS so its rely not bad
good test for my new comp how he handle masive battles
my specs are
AMD FX 8350 8 core 4.0 GHZ
HIS radeon R9 270x iceQ2 2 gig turbo boost
Kingston hyper 8 gig ram 1600
Windows 7 premium 64 bit
OZ 700 WATT 80+
hope i can test more soon
holy..adjusting the resolution scaling fixed the glaucoma blurriness issue...
thank you thank you thank you thank you!
1- Murphy’s Law tells us that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
2- And anything that does go wrong will get progressively worse.
3- And if you survive the first two laws it’s time to panic.
dude, you're using a video card that is essentially an overclocked HD 7870 with special cooling , of course it will run well.
still STO isn't supposed to run badly on older video cards(i'm using an overclocked HD 5770 btw), STO isn't a brand new game, the fact that simply turning off the HUD gives such a huge FPS boost, is an example of that.
also i bet that your video card would be able to get clocked 60 FPS at all times, even during the undine fight if the HUD wasn't hogging resources, try turning off your HUD and check the FPS afterwards, i bet you'll get 60+.
