hey i just finally got AOC working and at some spots im getting .4 fps. thats not even 1 frame per 2 seconds.. but im averaging about 4 or 5. my system is not the greatest but it is definetly capable of better than that on low res... any suggestions here?

I don't know what sort of system you have but some things I found to be helpful:

Turn shader model version down and grass off. 

Shadows from character only.

Water from ground only.

And the thing that made the biggest difference, nearly doubling my fps was:  System Memory Texture Cache - turn it all the way to the max.  I was shocked at the difference that made to my performance. 

These things are all in Video settings, Advanced.

While I know this may sound like a crazy idea... go to Video Options and change them to Medium. It might take a few for them to load, but give it at least 3min. Once your computer has stopped grinding away go to Advanced Options and turn shader model to 2.0. If it still lags turn your view distance down to lowest possible setting and do the other things  Signe  suggested.

My computer is mid range and I had assumed Low meant it'd work smoother. That was wrong and I heard someone else over talking in guild who suggested to try Medium as there have been some known issues with Low.

1. If you have Vista make sure you have Service pack 1  installed. If you got the OS 5 months ago you have it. If not, you may need to download it at microsoft.com

2.  What is your video card? What kind is it? What is the specs? Do you have uptodate drivers on it?

3.  How much RAM do you have? I know they said 1 is the bare minimum but i would say 2 gigs of ram should be minimum

4. In your video options turn off shadows, bloom effect.

I really need to see your specs tho

i have the radeon 1100 and 2g ram. and yes i have vista pack 1 and updated my drivers

..is this a laptop?

ya

If you're using a laptop then turning the System Memory Texture Cache up all the way to max is especially important.  It's the reason they included it in the options.

also, there's been some issues with laptops recently. They should work it out soon

well i turned on the cache all the way up and im still at 2 fps. like i said my system is about medium end and does meet the requirements but this is just unaceptable.idk what else to do.
