Got 3 hours in this AM, in 2 sessions. Levski's back in operation. So are the pirates pulling you out of quantum bu they're easy to either defeat or ignore. If your ship can't fight, just go re-engage quantum travel as soon as possible.
First session sucked. there were all sorts of issues. Like Power Point slide show FPS, 3 to 10 FPS. Never higher, felt like normal though. Then a crash after an hour. We think the crash might have been caused by a software update, because almost everyone that was on the server I logged into the second time had a similar experience.
The game ran at least 5 times faster after that. We had 55 FPS reported by some people with 1080 cards, and 7th gen i7's and 32 Mb RAM. I got 35 FPS for almost a solid hour of game play, and I only have an i7, 16Mb RAM, and 1050 card, rather entry level for this game). Expect lower FPS at stations - Port Olisar was the worst: 10 FPS, Levski 13-20 FPS, Grim Hex 12-15 FPS. Coming out of quantum drive was also a little jerky. FPS around 5 or so, but it only lasts a few seconds.
Good luck, and yeah it's a trap. I'm an hour and a half late for work now. :p Fortunately I'm the boss at the moment and I was, um yeah ok running a software test of "the latest build". Yeah. that's right. I can actually say that with a straight face!
