Since the 1.1.4 patch I have been experiencing frame rate stuttering. It makes it _very_ difficult to participate in combat because the mouse is too jumpy. Nothing changed since the last time I played, last night before the patch, and this afternoon. I did turn down a couple settings to see if that would help but it did not affect it.

Screenshot one shows the frame rate graph during combat, two sitting in space outside a station, and three while docked in station. The second screenshot is normal while the other two are very bad.

Hmmm, seems to be working fine now. Maybe it was Coolplayer that was affecting it; Coolplayer uses directsound to play audio so that would make some sense (not really since I have an SBLive!).

This is just weird.

Yeah, I've noticed that some other apps sometimes do that.

I run winamp for background music with directsound and an SBlive with no problems (5.1 surround even)... Its probably something else taxing your system or network. I tried playing once while Torrenting in the background, it was not-so-hot.
