Now, that last one is promissing, but doing that increased the framerate? Depeding how the space background was implemented, it should not cost much in terms of processing How did you remove it?
I want better performance, not aesthetics, although I could consider your post when if my priorities shift
I messed up with the intensity, reducing it to 0 from 4 made some difference, but outright turning it off made even a bigger impact :) The transparency, I can't be sure it will change anything, more often than not, changing the transparency to 1 will not change how much it costs GPU wise, that would require the game knowing that there is no need for the transparency and using a different shader (I think)
I've been messing with the configurations files in hopes of lowering the graphics even further so that I can play this game without my video card (that crashed and burned, I am waiting the new generation to buy a new one) I've found the two biggest resource hogs: The Fog of War shader and the Minimap Shader The following screenshot is how the game is looking for me, this is running at 60~fps on my onboard card All I ask is

I've been able to successfully change color mid game, a thing people seemed to think impossible, or at least, that's what it seemed like in the 5 minute search I did before going into hex editing. So here is the deal: In an hex editor, search for your race name You will find something like this: Race Name....Race Name....Race Leader....Home World....Custom Star......\\Gfx\Race\race_custom.pngH...C:\**redacted, this is the race logo direct
