The major FPS his, was this while Rogue was on screen?

If it was running, but not over layed were you still getting a FPS hit? If that was the case using it when you are dead in TF2 or CS still would be OK.

Did you try changing the options at the bottom of Rogue's window? I think each one changes the way rogue renders the page since it does say "optimize for: video, web, game".

Glad you mentioned both of those things, Jared and Black Hawk.

Those screencaps were while Rogue was running in the background and not overlayed. When I hit F12 to overlay the browser the in-game framerate dropped even more, though I don't have numerical values to put on the further drop. It's bad all around.

I did change the options to 'game' mode with little to no effect. Should have mentioned that as well.

Perhaps it was something in my setup. Perhaps Flatout 2 is just too old. If anyone has better luck with the software, please let us know.

I had tried it earlier with Medieval II: Total War and also got a performance hit.

Why does everyone keep thinking I was letting Jimmeh die??!! That's why I went down there, to save him! I have a screenshot trigger finger. I shoot while I shoot.

But the untold story of that screenshot?

WEEZER LEFT US THREE TO DIE! He jumped in the chopper and said goodnight.

Heartless.
