Re: 2 or less FPS on initial client load screens

Again I didn't really do anything to "get past" it; the game said it reset video options and from then on it just worked. I was running an old driver at the time, but I've since updated and now I'm on 344.48 with a GTX 870M. I'm also using the development build of Inner Space, which you're welcome to try but does not specifically solve any related issues (I've also reverted to the live build and everything still works as expected) -- to try it out, right click IS and select Patcher, tick "Download development (test) patches" and then close and restart Inner Space to let it patch up.
I do have STO in D3D11 mode.Client running in Maximized Window Mode (still occurs in normal windowed and maximized)
You didn't mention trying Fullscreen mode. For completeness, I would try Fullscreen mode as well. ISBoxer will still force the game into windowed mode, but the game will think it is in fullscreen mode and do a few things differently.
From your Diagnostics, this kind of sticks out to me as potentially important here:
While from my diagnostics:
Yours is using the debug DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), and mine is using the release DXGI. This could be a pretty significant performance difference. Unless you've specifically enabled the debugging mode, I don't know right off-hand why this would be in use on your system and not mine. Generally to use the debugging either you have to set up an override using the DirectX control panel, or it has to be built into the program to load it, and that's only AFTER having installed the debugging in the first place (e.g. via the Windows SDK).
One other thing that sticks out in your diagnostics:
Can you try shutting down MultiMon? There have been cases with this and similar tools where game has updated and broken something compatibility-wise between it, the game, and Inner Space.
Any additional thoughts Lax?
