Ah another n00b who lacks in the brain department. Now if you had looked through the forums first you would have realized that the game is in pre-alpha and that everyone who plays experiences some level of lag.
But thank you for deleting the game. You have done us all a favor.
-
ok first try not to use the word \"lag\", because \"lag\" is supposed to be related to your internet connexion (and ping) : you see what other players did a few milliseconds later (or up to several seconds if you lag really badly).
Anyway, it\'s not surprising that you experience low fps, your computer is just not powerfull enough to run it correctly. I think you\'d need at least 256 or 512 Mo of RAM, probably a better cpu (something around 1.5 Ghz or more) and a recent GPU (maybe geforce 2 or more), the most important being RAM.
So remember it\'s only an alpha, uninstalling it is probably the only thing you can do for now, but by the time we get a more or less \"final version\" it will hopefully run better, and you\'ll probably have a new computer anyway ^^

PRE-ALPHRA GAME!
Does that make any sense to you?
Un-optimized code, memory leaks, and redundant processes all consume processor speed, of which you cannot spare with your pathetic 850Mhz machine. Even worse is that you have not the memory nor a Graphics card to support such a large-requirement game!
Even worse is that you\'ve posted this in the wrong forum!
I dont even know how you could play any modern First-Person Shooter at a decent framerate with that setup!
UPGRADE AND WAIT FOR A BETTER RELEASE. In the meantime, play HL2. :rolleyes:

Well...ah...actually...Nevermind.

Har,
Card name: Intel(r) 82810E Graphics Controller
Nothing like a 2-4MB Onboard video card to make that game extra speedy -_-
I\'d say even when the full release is out your system is behind the times...
I know all about that vid chip, I had a MS6178 Mobo, same chipset.

I second that.
Wait a sec, that\'s a great idea... If PS will always be kinda laggy and lack all those things n00bs like Lazyjoker can\'t live without, we might actually have a good community :D
Sure, we\'ll have people like him coming every once in a while, to check the game, but they\'ll leave soon and never bother us again!
-
Hmm sure the lack of n00bs would be great, however the frustration of dying in battle due to the chunktacularness would get on my nerve\'s mighty quick ;)
-
Oh great. Did you not just post in the guild forum. I hang my butt on the line with my Guild leader trying to be nice and than this.
You should try reading the documentation on a game before you install it -or any program really. You are just asking for trouble otherwise and come on, look at your specs!

Yep doesn\'t matter how good your computer is, it will lag no matter what!
-
I apologise for the abuse that some people have given you lazyjoker. While you could have gone about acquiring relevant information another way their replies were counter productive and not needed.
As has been stated in a somewhat sarcastic manner the game is a pre-alpha which means that its basically a car with no tyres on the wheels and the steering column is missing.
Reviewing your system specs, I would also imagine you would experience slow frame rates which can only hinder the game running smoothely even further.
Next time you post something like this remember that some of these people are roleplaying on this forum as intolerant jerk offs.
-
Do you actually know how many times this question has been asked? It takes no effort at all to find the answer. No effort at all. If he doesn\'t have the common sense to look for his answer then why should I be polite to him?
Next time you post something like this remember that some of these people are roleplaying on this forum as intolerant jerk offs.
Wait....you insulted us for insulting him....kinda hypocritical don\'t you think.
But you don\'t need to apologize, I forgive you.[/COLOR]

Cirque, that\'s a wonderful attitude, it really suprised me to see someone actually trying to help this guy. :)
Try having the same attitude 5 months later after answering the same question from hundreds and hundreds of other such ignorant visitors and you\'ll understand most other replies on this thread. :P
And also I agree with Aendar. Case Closed. :)
