    I'd even set Bloom to Off or get it down to a normal setting of 1.0 instead of 2.0 and lower the World Detail to High.

    People have reported problems with running Shadows Enabled at No. I'd recommend setting it to Yes and then running Shadow Mode at Stencil Shadows for a minimum or higher.

    Finally, your audio driver installation appears to be corrupted. I've seen other seemingly unrelated problems resolved by getting audio drivers installed correctly or updated correctly. Since yours are showing the date as 1/1/0001 while the video driver date shows correctly, that indicates a corrupted installation of the drivers with the funky dates.

    A better place to have put this post would have been in the Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs forum section since that is where most of the tech folk tend to look for things like this. You may want to PM a member of the OCR team or a forum moderator and ask them to move this thread to that section.
    The date is the way it is on my audio drivers because I use a driver tweaked and updated by a third party, since Creative's stock drivers haven't had an update in a long while and are generally incompatible with many things. They work fine. I figured out that FSAA is the problem with my framerate... But my UI and just generally everything has a fine blur to it like a foggy window.

    In addition to my framerate issues, trying to run the game at my monitor's native resolution causes everything to blur noticeably and all sliders her a slight distortion where it makes it look as if the borders were moving.

    Pretty much what the topic says. My framerate drops to around 10 on all but medium and minimal settings in all outdoor areas, despite having -more- than enough to run the game with all settings on ultra. I've done some searching, but I could not find any sort of solution.

    heres my new idea since your only getting around 36 points with your ideas why not trade in like 150 arcane or tech salvage and get 10 extra points so salvage has more to it.

    i would make a power like this:
    Name: Leap of Faith
    Effects: Teleport to target, PBAOE, Knockback, Recharge very slow, damage Extreme.
  5. ShyIsShy
    i didnt read the whole post cause its way to big to read but sig powers would be awesome (hmm i would make Super Nova if i ever got a char to that level and if this is released) and heres some ideas to even it out. it should be through invention system and take hundreds or even millions of salvage to make. they cuase major exhuastion to use and your character (for melee controll and buff) will be stunned for a few minutes. ranged sig attacks will knock your chacter back and knock him/her down for a few minutes. they cant be used in arena/pvp places.
