Title: game is running really laggy and i dont know why
Post by: Zig on July 17, 2002, 01:26:30 am

Every time that i try to get on ps when i do it runs really really slow. Not just the game but when im logging in and i typed my name and password it was slow to actualy show that i typed something. Also when i am in the game and try to move it will take any where from 15 secs to 30 secs to actualy move one step. I dont think its my internet connection because i have a cable modem and my computer is brand new. I have windows ME if that helps any. Please help me, the game looks really good and i want to play sooooo bad. ;(

If the game is very slow for you it is probably a video driver problem or a RAM problem.  You should have at least 128MB of RAM to run this game.  If you have that, find out what gfx card you have and make sure you have the most up to date drivers for it.  That has made a HUGE difference for some fans.

uhg here... can i ask u dev people to test this out?

try getting the WHOLE city on ur screen... and moving really quick, i gaurantee it\'ll be really choppy.

and when u run douwn like a hallway its not lagy at all...


isn\'t it because when ur looking at the WHOLE city the comps are having to draw THOUSANDS and thousands of vertices at once, but say down a road its only drawing a few hundred???

most games have like stuff in the distance like fogged out  and stuff... maybe u guys shoudl do that to.

Thanks for everyone help but i still dont know what it is, i have 512mb of ram free so i know its not that but i dont really know what kind of graphics card i have i guess i should try to figure that out. Like i said though my computer is brand new so i should have the best drivers and stuff for it to be using right now.

Stickman, this is because the engine isnt all programmed yet so instead of only prosess the 2d that you see they process the whole buildnings and therefore it\'s laggy like shit, don\'t worry I bet theire working on it :)
