GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series 1
RAM: 3 GB
Clients: 1

Graphic setting of the client: High, changed everything to low or off when I couldn't see the POS. The change took a couple of minutes and then crashed the client.

- Anti-Aliasing: medium
- Shader Quality: high
- Texture Quality: high
- LOD Quality: high

Average FPS during the fight at the gate in Poitot, zoomed out (brackets / no brackets): Did not get a chance to zoom out (apologies)

Average FPS - Zoomed in (brackets / no brackets): did not note, as I died (twice) before I could get my bearings. My graphic settings were low at this stage, and it seemed like 2 to 3 fps.

Memory usage of the client (if checked): No.

Was client performance better or worse compared to your TQ experience with the same settings and fleet size? 1 (though I've only been in fights with up to 100, and there were many more here)

Did you experience any disconnects or crashes? Client crashed twice.

Describe your experience, make comments, suggestions, etc.:

The fps was 1 to 3 zoomed in, brackets off, when we gathered at the gate at 1700 (settings high). This is when the client crashed for the first time. There were some strange visuals just before the crash where some of the capital ships were white silhouettes. I took some screenshots, but they were not recorded or came out black.

I had warped by mistake to the POS before, when I could see it quite well, but when I warped in later with the fleet I could not see the POS at all, and all attempts at targeting it failed. It was at this stage when I foolishly tried to change my graphic settings to low, and the client crashed after being frozen for a couple of minutes.

During the fight I managed to target a few ships and activate some modules before dying, and I was quite happy. Things were laggy (like 3-5 fps), but still playable (settings were low at this stage, brackets off).

I was podded once, but I got no animation (which I was looking forward to). The client froze for a while and then I was in station.

Due to the crashes I was in and out of the fleets a couple of times, thus I probably missed out the important bits- but for the duration that I was part, there was no clear FC, and very little useful information (about what to do) was provided over voice coms. When reconnecting I had great difficulty getting back into a fleet, and after the 2nd crash I was not accepted into a fleet though I went ahead to the fight anyway. These are not major gripes, though a better organized fleet can only help.

This was my first experience at testing, and I should be able to provide better feedback the next time.
