I downloaded the most recent display drivers just to make sure. Didn't help.

It only seems to be a problem in the system display and in combat. In all the menu screens it works just fine. It seems like it's just on screens where there is any motion happening on screen. Is it possible to stop the planets from rotating in the system display?

Yes, but it probably won't help, if the problem occurs in combat too.

Search for rotation in the data folder..not sure which file its in. :/

Hrm, well it looks like I could remove the rotation for every planet in the XFileClasses_Stellar.txt file. That seems like a lot of work though. Is there not some global setting somewhere?

As far as I can tell, no.

I haven�t seen a setting that could do that. If it is in an X File I wouldn�t know; haven�t tried them yet. Besides I�m not sure you would need to do all the planets. I noticed that even after adjusting my SLI I am getting slowdowns with storms and a horribly slow painfully delayed lag from asteroid only systems. Maybe if you could just stop those two the problem would be corrected enough to not really notice. Is there a way to replace them with still shots? Geo if you don�t mind how about taking a look and checking when the lag is worse. Are systems with asteroids slowing the mouse more than systems without? Black Holes over Storm only systems, etc�

I noticed that I am only now getting severe lag with asteroid belt systems, compared to 1.13. In 1.13, I was able to look at any system without any noticeable lag, whereas now asteroid systems take me down to 3 fps or so. Nebulas also slow me down now, whereas they did not in 1.13, but not as much as asteroid belts.

If it's an Nvidia card, it's possibly the render frames ahead function. Apply coolbits to unlock all control panel features, then go into advanced 3D settings. There should be a "Max frames to render ahead feature" that has a 3. Reducing that might help.
