Now many people can run spiral knight fine, but some have a rather hard time, and even on the lowest quality settings in compatibility mode, there are many useless graphics that can be a large cause of lag and drop in frames per second.

I would suggest for a lower graphic setting, just off the top of my head a few things lowest graphics could do lower:

All particle effects. Yes they are pretty and add depth to the game, but if they stop me from playing I could do without. Main one that comes to mind is fire, I would be happy with a stationary flame for lots of things, traps, oilers, lava(where it's not even necessary) and is all that smoke/fog on shock levels and such needed?

A huge one in clockworks and pvp, traps. Does it really need to be constantly flashing and have fire/shock/poison/ect spewing out from it, would a simple bright/on dark/off not work?

Background motion. Do my trees really need to have spinning leaves, does haven's auction house need to have constant moving "stock bars" along the top?

I'm sure there are more but since OOO doesn't seem to give any of these much though I will leave it at that for now.
point being SK seems to have forgotten low graphic settings and it would be nice if you could address this issue.
