A note regarding framerate:

If you are experiencing poor or unplayable framerates, try turning off the following options listed below. If you need to turn off effects to gain speed, we suggest you try turning off Parallax Sky first, followed by Sun Beam, Sun and Moon, Lens Flare, Translucent Shields, Shockwaves, and Shell Smoke until you find a framerate that is acceptable to you. If you're still not satisfied, try turning off Additive Translucency. As a final step, turn off Alpha Blending. Please note that you can always run in "No 3D Acceleration Mode."
