Hardware-not software. Directx is software for your hardware. Go out and buy a either better video card/processor/more memory, or go buy a whole brand new spankin system...

Can you post an in game screenshot ?

Unfortunately with optimisation it's not just a question of giving you a single answer that will solve your problem. It is a question of experience and knowing how the engine handles different the different elements of your game. I managed to get a semi outdoor level with all but a couple of my original features in the game intact.

I would suggest testing your game after implementing each new feature to see the performance hit in order to know how much of a particular thing you are going to be able to use.

If you have already built your level you should consider the following

- Consider how many entities in your map need to be dynamic. Some people have come to expect to see nice physics being used in a game but I would much rather have raw performance than having the ability to knock something over.

- Lots of enemies = big performance hit. Design your levels carefully to ensure enemies are spawned from trigger zones and use portals to divide enemies into smaller groups.

- Remove any uneccessary segments e.g. overlapping or untidy

- Do you really need dynamic lighting / shadows ? if yes be prepared to make sacrifices in other areas. If an action game then maybe not. I don't think dynamic lighting / shadows works in multiplayer at present anyhow. Statis lights and shadows generally look fine in most cases.

FredP mentioned that TGC are working on frames per second which as I said in that thread will allow the community to push for more interactive and visually compelling games whilst still remaining playable.

I'm still unsure myself in deciding whether to cut back on feature s and make the game run well on the current version or go for maximum creativity in the hope it will be ready by the time performance has been improved in later versions.

FPSC does have issues with outdoor levels.
While you can make a small outdoor area and be fine most people have issues with large ones.
As has been stated earlier hopefully a later release/update of FPSC will stablilize things like this so we can be more productive with the software.

Print Screen, then ctrl+v into paint or something like that.

Before you ask, the print screen key is next to the F12 button and looks like this:
