    I said google showed me nothing based on your search parameters, it didn't. Either come up with better search parameters, or..if you know where to find it, (and you did) just link the post. You can get away with that because this is the internet, but offline you'll find few people who will tolerate that kinda attitude. Alright? Good man.

    And he was not asking about the shortcut, he was asking about the command line, try to keep up.

    The thing I don't understand is why people with lower hardware are getting better performance than I am. With or without shadows or features. Theres people with lower cards than my 680 and they get 40-60 fps but im getting 15

    It's related to some hardware/drivers specific. When you improve performance of one video card you'll usually decrease performance for another.

    And also there is driver bugs, might be Uber trigger one of them.

    Hey no you didn't 'hurt me', i just thought i would give some social advice to someone who sorely needs it, selfless i guess, but that's just my way.

    And it's 'But i don't really care about offline because we are on the internet'

    Happy to help.

    I'm got new idea about possible reason of "some" performance problems, so I have question everyone who met problems: do you run PA from Steam?

    If so check this topic and try to disable Steam overlay for PA:
    http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/0/864980277623586863/
    And post here if this affect performance or not. Thanks.

    I have a very outdated CPU+GPU and get around 30-50 fps until massive unit spam comes on but theres one thing I noticed to bring me down to 1-2 fps.
    Flash. Flash running in firefox, especially when it plays a Youtube Video in the background. If by any chance you get some flash running, end it. Plaque of the internet that is.

    Yeah game was running pretty good for me, FPS definitely has tanked, but not unexpected at all. Its always up and done in early dev like this, pretty much in all early games ive been playing.

    Game is definitely the most fun when you have a solid 60 fps.

    Actually Steam overlay it's only difference between Steam and non-Steam version.
    This is probably why some people said, that game working better though Uber launcher.

    I have tried it in no steam version:

    have tried the following:

    "D:\Planetary Annihilation\PA\PA.exe" --nofeatures
    "D:\Planetary Annihilation\PA\PA.exe" -nofeatures
    "D:\Planetary Annihilation\PA\PA.exe" "--nofeatures"

    The above did not work. Any other solution (trees were still there)? No mods...

    Has anyone had lag at the main menu? I get an unbelievable amount of delay even while logging in.

    This might be wrong, but I think you need to put the quotes around the whole thing, i.e.

    "D:\Planetary Annihilation\PA\PA.exe --nofeatures"

    That might be caused by the star field animation. You might want to install this the NoStarfield mod. It's most easily installed with the mod manager, which is available for Windows and Linux/Mac OS X.
