Since i move around a lot, i tend to have multiple computers with me, some low-power, some portable.
Where i now live i had selected a compaq business desktop as primary computer, and i started playing through standoff, it is a business desktop, so it uses onboard graphics and sound. Standoff runs like a dream, that is, unless you try to go into a dogfight. as ships close in the framerate does not just drop, it actually "halts" the system, and when you do get it smooth, the keys do not respond(i duplicated the issue on my laptop, a DELL 820 to be sure it was related to onboard graphics)
After i tested it with a physical card i borrowed(Daimond Multimedia Radeon X1650 AGP) I did not have this issue. So I went out and bought a new card(ASUS Ati Radeon HD3450 AGP) for it my issue is this, you can not revert to default options, and this results in the companion software of the graphic card to crash all over the place with pop-ups coming "half through", there was a visible popup, but not clickable, i had to exit the game before having access to it. Also standoff did run, very, VERY slow-paced. A clean reinstall of standoff fixed this, but an option to reset the graphic config files to their defaults would be nice.
