For what ever reason that didnt work because when im around a phasegate or flickering wires i still get a fps drop. Is there any thing else i can try?

What's your card? is it integrated? I had a friend with the same problem, but with flashlights... (he was also admin, so he illiminated people who used the flash light. =] )

Its an integrated card because currently i have no choice but to game on a laptop, now ns is very playable but when i come accross these sorts of things my frames just drop.

A long shot here, but can you assign it more memory?

Or perhaps change the latency of your memory in bios, to speed up the gfx memory.

disable particle effects
cl_particleinfo "0"

Yeah, disabling particle effects will greatly increase your fps all around. I'd guess that the fps drop is when you're near a phase gate, and an integrated graphics card has trouble drawing something a lot smaller into something huge.

If the particle effects doesn't work, don't use pg ftl.
