[Bug / Performance] Frame rare drops with coloured whisper text again.

This one does not occur for me, but I have seen people posting that this was happening in 1.05 also.

Ditto, I don't have the issue. Strange, but they did mess with the engine quite a bit so it's possible it made a comeback.

Yes i can atest to this. I used to get slow downs when i hover over anaything and get the unit card...but now that seems to be minimised but when there is a whispers...its slows down a lot more now. I'm using a HD3850.

This was actually the thread i was looking for, so i will just copy/paste it, sorry for double-reply then. But it fits in here well.

I can confirm this perfomance issue.

Windows Vista 32bit
Athlon 5200+

SATA II Harddrive with 16mb Buffer

Sins only starts to drop FPS on a huge map if some text shows up of the opponents or allys. It also drops the FPS as soon the info box of any object pops up (planet or ships). Restarting didn't help.

So the game would run awesome smooth on this machine, even on a huge map with multiple big fleets in one gravity well, but there seems to be a problem with the text messages and info-boxes.

So i tested arround a little bit more with the info boxes and text messages.

It seems to drop the FPS only if:
- there is a special ressource or artifact on the planet (all other planets and asteroids without an special ressource/artifact don't cause an FPS drop with the info box).
- there is/was a huge amount of ships in an enemy controlled planet/asteriod (info box)
- if i offer any trait to an opponent or ally (actually just any text message)
