    I am seeing massive frame rate drops in single player (both creative and survival) when Easy Anti Cheat is enabled. Is this a known issue or do you want me to report more details?

    I recently mentioned it in Discord:
    "I have a massive stutterting problem in Empyrion v1.13.1 4796 on Windows 10. It seems to mainly occur when I turn left/right using the mouse.

    When walking straight, I can get 55 FPS on Akua (new game started). Same when strafing left/right using keyboard. I can turn with arrow-keys without stuttering. When I use the mouse to turn, I get massive stuttering: bursts of 55fps interrupted by about 1 second of no new frame rendered.

    I have already reduced graphics settings as much as possible in-game (to no effect). I have tried windowed and full-screen. Updated Nvidia drivers (I have GTX1080), no effect. Tried different mouse (no effect).

    I never had this effect in prior versions of Empyrion.

    I do not have any special mouse either, it is a cheap Logitech B100. But I also tried a different brand with no effect.

    Well, well: turning off Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) solved the issue. In fact, the same scene now runs almost 2x as fast at 90fps. This is crazy.

    The entire game starts way faster, too."
