For some odd reason, the FPS i get in certain servers has gone down.
Like Racerboy's Death Run
I have shaders on very high, due to max not really noticing a difference, All other things are set to best.
My draw distance is at full (1000) and it doesn't really make a difference at all really.
Here are my specs:
before you say my new computer is stuff, the one I use gets good framerates on all the games I have on steam, on max settings.

Display tab of dxdiag:

There, I do as said above, have all my steam games set to max settings, and they are completely fine, my drivers are all the way updated.
Settings In Blockland:
Render Distance: FULL 1000
Shaders: Very High
Physics: Best
Particles: Best
Brick FX: Best
Textures: Best
Resolution: 1680x1050 Fullscreen

Anyway, discuss what might be going on.

Dillpickle:

It's sometimes the host's fault, either he's on another program, downloading research, facebook, skype, etc.
That or it's a server problem, like a mass number of vehicles / bots, and since we got new bots I'm expecting everyone's spamming them.

It looks like your specs are fine.

Titanium Man:

if the server is bad the fps shouldn't drop, movement and other players would just look choppy

so i doubt the problem is host's network speed

Dillpickle:

Maybe other programs that are running that's using up CPU and all that.
Try closing out of all but Blockland, keep spotify I guess so you can jam out.

Plexious:

I suffer from FPS drop on some servers too.
I can play on Sylvanor's Seattle Default City with max view distance and get around 80+ FPS but if I join a trench wars server with 10* less bricks I can barely get 30 FPS.
The more players the server has the lower the framerate. Usually lowering my network settings helps with this. It's a major problem and needs to be fixed.
