Hi there! So i did not touched the game for half year and i noticed, that the shields have got a new hexagonal texture. thats quite nice but there is also a blurry effect beneath the shields bubble and it reduces my fps. The game runs very fine without a shield even with lots of units and explosions, on medium- high setting (30-45 fps), but when a shield generator is present fps drops below 30 and it goes to 15-20 or even lower with only a few shield gens 3-4.
My question is, can i remove this effect somehow without ruining the appeal of the whole game(switching to very low- low overall setting)? i have already searched the forums but i fond nothing.
Thanks in advance

Yes you can!

Go to general settings (the monkey wrench icon, in the ingame menu that opens/closes by pressing esc). Then Graphics -> Toggle Lups.

You're probably on an ATI card? Why doesn't it do this automatically as a part of ATI detection..

umad saktoth? Why would it turn it off on ati, lups works perfectly on ati atm.

Perhaps he failed to install drivers 11.3 ?

Or just has a really old card. Distortions is quite resource intensive.

See thats the problem "latest drivers"

You must not use latest drivers..
only drivers known to work with spring engine are 11.3

Other versions have opengl bugs that produce similar issues.

Your zero-k lobby should warn you that you have incompatible catalyst drivers installed.
