I\'ve searched the site, the forum, the internet - but to no avail!
Can somone please tell me whether I can run the game with:
P III 450 Mhz
256 MB Ram
8 MB ATI Display Adapter?
Thanx a lot ...

I wouln\'t bother trying. The game at the moment takes up alot of resources, and I don\'t think u\'r Pc will be up to it. When the next version comes out (at the new year) download and try then, as it\'ll take up less of u sys resources.

I don\'t agree... but PS will certainly have cleaner code and hopefully less lag holes and memory leaks than the current version. To say it will use less resources, though, I don\'t think it will.
Aimperial: If your processor was a bit faster, I\'d say it would work. However, you may find yourself running out of Visual memory when trying to load the game. This is a common cause of the client crashing for apparently no reason. Of course, there\'s nothing to stop you trying to play, but I sincerely doubt it will be possible. :(
Best of luck.

Thank you all for your feedback.
In the meantime I did try it, and found out that the game runs on my system but a bit slow.
No fun in that.
Thus, I decided to wait for the next version or for the next computer...
See you all in the future!

So what is the Requirement?
I have:
AMD Athlon 700 MHZ
NVIDIA VANTA 64 MB
256 MB RAM
-
There are no official requirements, Mr Chi, but I believe with those particular specs your system will be capable of running PlaneShift (assuming there are no other problems). You probably won\'t have great performance though.
-
Okay how about an Athlon 650mhz, 128MB of RAM, and the funkiest GeForce256(32MB no DDR or AGP 4X sometimes seen as PCI with 31.5MB) ever, Win98 SE and around 3 GB left on my Hard Drive for swap files
and a Road Runner cable connection.
In contrast Postal 2 ran fine, Q3 Tech is all good
oh what tweaks can help if not myself then someone else to improve performance
oh and for the grammer freaks sorry for subjecting you to my writing
-
cdmrzit: I doubt your system would play this game primarily due to the amount of RAM on your system. The current version takes quite a bit of memory, and as far as I know there have been few (if any) people who can run the game with 128 RAM.

It seems like faster computers are going slower. :D
Highest Framerate: 19fps
Average Framerate: 9fps
Lowest Framerate: 0.2fps
Need more ram to fix that...
I have 1743 mb of virtual memory. I believe you don\'t have enough RAM to run PS though. You could use VRAM, but that will really slow the game down to around 0.2fps.
If you can, cmdrzit, buy a 256mb or 512mb chip of ram for your computer to speed up the game. There currently aren\'t any tweaks I\'d bother making, since in a month or so a new, more efficient version will be coming out, which you can then tweak if you want.
Edit: Ah, ghostslayer beat me to it.

Hiya,
what about my sys.?:
-1700+XP
-512ddr
-GF4-TI-4800.se
can i run the game without getting any slowdowns/low fps?
Marshall
-
PS lag for everyone so don\'t expect it\'ll run ok for you.
Your system is really enough to play though.
-
Hiya,
thx for the fast reply...i heard about the \"lag\"...i have a Dsl-768 conn. and i hope it wont be TOO laggy...happy to read that my sys. can handle the game.I am going to upgrade my cpu in the next few days (2500+XP) so =D
Marshall
PS:Im new to this...what is it about & how come everyone is getting lag? and having slowdowns and all? the game doesnt look all to tough for a low-end pc to handle...
-
Lag has nothing to do with network so a slow connection is not a problem (at least in MB, dunno about CB)
There\'s lag because both PS and CS (the engine used in Planeshift) are in devellopement so are not optimized. Hopefully, in a few releases, there\'ll be no more lag.
-
Lag has nothing to do with conn.? how come for example in \"halflife\" it starts lagging when more then 4players get into a dsl-768 server? the host doesnt get any lag...but the players...as soon as the 5th players leaves...the lag stops...i mean...if its not called \"lag\" when the game becomes unplayable due to the high ping...whats it called then?
thx
marshall
Edit:
oops...i just read that you wrote \"network\" and not connection ^^
-
oh sorry: i meant: Planeshift lag has nothing to do with network (in the Molecular Blue version (current version), dunno about Crystal Blue, which is next release)
edit: connection and network have nothing to do with PS lag ;)
-
Yep,
i just tried to login...it said something about a \"Link\" not working/beeing valid\" or something...it told me to check out the \"planeshift\" site for help...so...HELP?
Marshall :D
-
try this thread:
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=3971&boardid=17&styleid=3
-
ok thx...ill check it out :D
Marshall
-
it told me to check out the \"planeshift\" site for help
i don\'t know.. isn\'t it quite obvious? maybe you should CHECK it out instead of posting..
PS. sorry, but it is getting annoying to see people posting stuff like: it tell me to do . What should i do??
-
Yea uhm...i DID check out the site but didnt help...my firewall is off my ports have been fowarded so...thats why i was asking ;)
Marshall
ps: its ok...i hate that kind of stuff too
-
Here\'s a thing i heard (not tested though):
You must create your char in less than 30s or server will drop you. So try to create your char faster
If that happens, you must go here: http://planeshift.fragnetics.com/admin/form.html
and delete your account. Then recreate another quicker
-
Oki thx...ill try that...if it works...O_o

It\'s so hard to buy video card around my place. Especialy I dont have any bread... :(
I was planning to buy a better video card for my pc.
Can someone suggest the cheapest video card that will work with PS? I have..I think a 16 or 32MB ATI graphics card. I saw this preowned ATI RADEON 9000 in a flyer here for $80. What do you think? This is my specs...
Intel Celeron 1300 Ghz
128SD Ram
16/32 ATI graphic card.
Somebody\'s gonna buy me more ram this year so dont worry bout my ram. Just help me out with the graphics pls.
-
Look around a little for video cards. I have seen GeForce 4 cards for as low as 50 bucks USD after rebates and those are brand new. Also saw a brand new ATI 9000 for 80 bucks. Take a look at how much RAM you are getting when you get a new video card too.
Think I saw those prices on Outpost (http://www.outpost.com) and Directron (http://www.directron.com)
Didnt search too much I am sure there are cheaper ones out there to be found then that too.
-
Hehe -.-...
for that price you could buy a \"gf4-ti-4200\" or a \"radeon 8500\" wich is more powerful then your metioned card.They both cost around the same price you said...like 80-100 bucks.I?d recommend the \"gf4-ti-4200\"...and if youre lucky...you?ll find on even under 80$
Marshall
Edit:shit...came too late -.-\"
oh and IF you choose a GF4...then DONT go for the \"MX\" series!!! they use a upgraded/modified \"Gf2\" chip...
-
I think I\'m going to have 128 Ram. If that\'s still slow it\'s easy to buy ram anyway...
The problem is, I dunno if the video card you mentioned is compatible with my motherboard. I just want to be sure if Im gonna buy a new video card, coz I dont wanna come back to the store and all.
Alright I browsed around and here\'s what I got...
ATI Radeon 9000 64Mb - $59.00
GFORCE4 MX 420 64Mb - $59.00
GFORCE4 MX 440 - $69.00
ATI Radeon 9000Pro - $89.00
I dont know the difference between these cards..
-
Easy...
the \"radeon9000pro\" ist the fastest of all those cards...and like i said before...DONT buy a \"gf4-MX\" !!!!! buy a \"gf4-ti-4200\" (much more powerful then your mentioned cards) ...IF those other cards you mentioned are compatible to your mainboard then the \"gf4-TI-4200\" will be compatible to your mainboard too!
Marshall
Edit:
if you would tell me what kind of mainboard you?ve got it would be alot easier...
-
Those GeForce 4\'s are about as powerful as my GeForce 2...but more buggy. Since PS doesn\'t like Radeons, I suggest the same thing Marshall said: GeForce 4-TI-4200
-
Yeah I would also suggest looking for a GeForce 4 Ti. I have a GeForce 4 MX on one of my computers and the thing is pretty much crap for gaming but since i am just using that computer as a file and print server it wasnt such a big deal. Definetly look around and see what you can find on the Ti.
-
Pah, getta Radeon 9600 256mb like me. Costs about ?100. PS works nice and smooth with almost 0 lagg for me. :D
Oh, my sys:
Athlon 64 3200,
1 Gb DDR3200
Radeon 9600 256mb
I noticed a huge improvement in performance with the new graphics card, Ram helps alot, and CPU does nothing. : 8)

Hiya,
i just came out of the game...my question now is: what in the world is my mission in the game???.I was running around like mad (like a monkey or something=) and trying not to run into a wall.After i finally made it not to run into a wall (started running in a circle ...but hey...at least its an improvment) i tried to collect a crystal that i couldn?t see.I like the game...its alot of fun.My mission to gather the unseeble crystall ball is georgus.The graphics DO look differnt compared to the screenys...i hope this game will keeps developing since it has much potential. (ppl...pls work on the \"moving animations =D\")
i saw a little guy named \"lorddragon\"...i barley made it to him due to the dangerous rocks (like a stone or something) in my way.As i got to him we started running in a circle for no reason.Finally, we made it to comunicat with the help of the chat...and started running around in a ruin wich i may now call it by the name \"murph-temple\" (though its a ruin and not a temple).
oh and another question is: is that castle the only possibilty to play or can i like...get out of there and run around on undiscoverd lands? (lost land...jurassic park).
Marshall
PS: Dont Panik...were all only human ( zitat from Robocop)

Okay here\'s my mother board...
Socket 370 Motherboard
SiS 630ET AGP Chipset
Help
-
Never used or heard of that Mainboard.I \"guess\" it \"should\" be able to handle a \"gf4-ti-4200\" since it DOES have an \"AGP\" slot and it DOES use/support \"AGP 4x\".Even if it \"wouldnt\" run/support \"AGP 4x\" you could still run it on \"AGP 2x\" so that shouldnt be a problem.
i wish you good luck and pls listen to what we?ve postet about the \"GF4-MX-Series\" and the other cards.Best you can do is to buy a \"GF4-TI-4200\",its a cheap,fast and powerful card.
Marshall
PS: \"PS\" is really a game that i?m looking foward to.I bet like @4th quartal of 2004 it will have become a wonderful looking and playable game :D

I have a:
Pentium III
255.0MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 display adaptor
I tried loading some Temple, left my computer alone for some time, and when I got back it was still loading. I cancelled to find that my computer had no resorces left =)
-
err nub question where can i see on ocmp wat my motherboard is without openning it up and checking
-
Easy, when you start your computer, you\'ll see it in black and white along with what processor you have.
-
I have
Intel Pentium 3, ~590mhz
320mb ram
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 32mb
right now it works, but really slowly, when the next version comes out do u think it will work faster on my comp or is mine not good enough?
-
How well will it run on my system? I haven\'t played it in a long while(last time I did I had another PC):
p42.2ghz@ 2.8
768PC2100 DDR ram
IG Intel EG
