    I am using a very basic GPU that barely meets the minimum requirements while my processor and RAM stomp the recommended requirements. I know where the Effects folder is however I don't know how to turn off shadows and bloom and stuff. Because of these effects I get 20 fps on a world with basic stuff, and capped out 60 fps on worlds with no asteroids and premade stuff. I have a file editor that can open any file that contains any sort of characters, so i can edit the files. Just tell me what to do. (yes, i lowered the resolution to 1280x720 and turned graphics on normal...)

    File:
    Code:
    %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.cfg
    Replace this
    Code:
    <item>
          <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">MemoryLimits</Key>
          <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">[B]True[/B]</Value>
    </item>
    for this
    Code:
    <item>
          <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">MemoryLimits</Key>
          <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">[B]False[/B]</Value>
    </item>
    Don't know if it helps but propably it can't be worse.



    In the same file you can change your resolution to lower:
    Code:
    <item>
          <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">ScreenWidth</Key>
          <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">[B]1280[/B]</Value>
    </item>
    <item>
          <Key xsi:type="xsd:string">ScreenHeight</Key>
          <Value xsi:type="xsd:string">[B]720[/B]</Value>
    </item>

    Thank you for the memory limit thing, as for the game is much smoother, but big things still drop my fps from shadows and bloom and stuff. I know kind of how shader files work from experience in minecraft shaders, but these are a bit more complex.
