Graphics Problem Laggy Gameplay

Ahoy,

I just wanted to ask if this graphics problem is related to me or to the game. I have a more than decent PC that can run newer games without any problems, however on this game I am having some issues. My FPS is hardly ever a static 60 FPS, mostly it drops down very often. When on the sea and boarding another ship it is so laggy it is almost impossible to play. I play with OpenGL and on High settings. I was wondering if switching to DirectX would be a possible fix?

Also is anyone else having problems with the quest light? It rarely shows me the right path. Mostly it doesn't even show or it shows me the wrong location.

Cheers
 
Yes many if not everyone has these issues and it seems to be regardless of having a fast PC :) These bugs are being worked on and it just the way the game is at this stage of beta.
Maybe turning your graphics down and sound and music completely off may help with the lag :)
 
Other than what Luna said....
...I'm not sure how much difference FPS makes tbh cos I see people grumbling a lot about it when they get 'only' 40-100 FPS.......I rarely get more than 10 FPS and as general rule I don't have a problem with lag unless I go on Abassa (which I don't often)

Using OpenGL is recommended atm as there was issues with DirectX.

As for the quest light....it's a bit temperamental ....if you get stuck try searching either by quest/npc/mob/island name here http://piratesonline.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Quests . Our wiki is a great source of general info, but especially helpful when your 'light' abandons or misdirects you :)
