Hello Devs,

I have run into some major performance   issues in battles. My fleet of 1 BB, 2 Escorts, 2 Corvettes and 1 Hero   ship (military offense) vs 8-9 Craver Corvettes. If I let the Craver   fleet jump in the "Jump" graphic do not render. Instead a giant red   cloud like graphic forms but never disappears. If I let the batte scene   play out various ships disappear, engline trails become drastically   misaligned (not even near the ship) or become stuck like the warp   "cloud". The FPS drops to 20ish or less at times and very often. If I skip to the combat stage I can avoid the above graphical issues. If I do not skip performance is far worse during the whole combat phase than when I do skip. However I still see FPS drops when my ships fire missiles especially the BB. Missiles leave a similar red cloud graphic issue right after firing. The missile  graphics  seem to disappear and do not follow the typical graphics of  firing,  tracking to the target and impacting said target. It looks as if the missiles are intercepted and destroyed if I were to compare it to a real example. I noticed  that each  missile firing sequence cause a drop of FPS to the 20s from  the cap of  100 I have set. After the missle graphic sequence is beyond  lauching FPS  returns to normal. FPS does not drop when firing lasers or when the camera is focused on the Craver ships. Sound will also stutter if I do not skip to the combat phase. 

This is was my first "large" battle. I do not play often nor for long. I recently got into the game so have no prior experience to use as a comparsion.

I have tired various solutions in the common issues thread. None seem to change anything. Different graphics settings do not seem to change or resolve the issue. I have ran the Heaven 4.0 Benchmark with no issues. Other games such as World of Warcraft, World of Warships, Fallout 4, FF 14 AA, Steel Divsion 44, etc run fine with no issue. I updated to the newest GPU driver but saw no change.

Below is a screenshot of the warping in graphic issue. That effect become stuck thus perament in the battle if I do not skip to the combat stage. The small whiteish objects are the engine trails of the Craver ships. The game stutters horribly during and after this effect.

PS: I won that battle.

Bump for help.

This Looks more like a bug and is more suited to the Bug Reports Forum could you post it there?

(Or an admin move this thread there)

I think this is the issue others mentioned regarding specific Cravers fleet, which means that it's fixed in the next update, the preview of which should be available this week.

Folks, we need your update on this. 

Do you find the issue fixed in the 1.036 preview patch?

Thanks,
