I've got a strange problem... yesterday, everything went smoothly.
But today, whenever I get in a firefight, everything starts to slow down and lag like hell.
Now, I know another guy who's had the same problem.
There is NO icon indicating a bad connection.
And the weirdest part is: It happened to me in Discovery SP as well.
Now, my computer is pretty fast and seeing how it worked perfectly yesterday, with more than 8 NPCs and 3 players (counting myself) fighting, I don't understand where the problem is coming from.
Vanilla Freelancer never produced that kind of problem... first I thought it WAS a performance problem of my computer, but now.... I don't believe that anymore.
Maybe you already know of the problem. If so, I'd appreciate any help...
EDIT: I changed the view distance back to low... maybe it was a performance issue after all. If there is any more problem, I'll post it here.
EDIT: I didn't have any more problems today. So I assume, that yesterday (with high view distance) it was more or less a coincidence that everything worked fine (fewer ships in the vicinity or something)...

Where were you fighting? Kusari is known to cause a extremely high amount of lag, in server, and in SP. The nebulas have dust, and each of those dust particles are like 1 asteroid.
Talk about processer drain.
