Title: Uberlag on connect
Post by: asdf on July 02, 2003, 04:42:24 am

When I finally got connected (took 3 days) I found that the game lagged so badly that in 1/2 an hour, I still hadn\'t moved at all.  Any ideas as to why?  I\'d really like to try the game, even though it is alpha.  Anyone had/have this prob and know how to fix it?

AMD 1.6Ghz
GeForce Ti4600 128mb
256mb ddr 2700
on windows xpsp1

SAme type of problem

AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.33
256MB Ram
ATi Radeon 32MB SDR
Win XP
650MB Swap

Seems to occur with the weather effects. When I first connected today, I could move fin until the rain started, then it\'s like, can\'t move, then eventually the game stop responding and I had to kill in.

Hate to say, I get less lag in a game of Ghost Recon with 16 players and lots of rain. And that\'s with several guys in the view. On Planeshift, just 2 guys that I could see and I got the above with the weather.

Yes, I know it\'s a totally different game, could it just be a case of too much information being sent back and forth? I also noted that Planeshift takes my swap usage from around 170MB (just after boot) to close to the full swap, around the 550MB-600MB level.

ok there is nothing that is going to help you guys..... for right now there are a lot of bugs and bad coding. For some strange reason it seems to run better on low end machines like mine:

551mhz
256 ram
32mb ati rage fury
20gb hdd

btw what the heck is swap friday?

Swap - Page File, Virtual Memory, Swap file :)

Ah well, hopefully they can clear up the worst lag issues for the next release.

It seems to run better in Linux than in Windows, for some reason it runs a bit better in low-end systems than high-end systems as well, but for the most part, I think you\'ll just have to do like the rest of us with this problem, and wait it out until it gets repaired.
