Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / not ok
« on: May 03, 2004, 01:36:51 am »
first, let me correct myself, i read the first post date wrong... its actually more like 9 months... but thats not really much of a dam diffrence
i read this is the FAQ
1. My game locks up when I connect. It just says \"Initializing world\" but Windows says it is not responding!
This is ok. On some machines, Planeshift believes it needs to recalculate the lighting, which can take up to 2 hours the first time you run. If you let it run to completion, it will load quickly every time after that
\"This is ok\"
it is? ok cuz i bet if this was a game for sale your customers would really consider this ok..... no, what you should say instead is
\"this is not ok, its a problem we still have yet to fix. but dont worry, this wont kill your machine, just your pateince and respect for this game.\"
that sounds a little more accurate.....
how can you think its ok that it takes some machines up to 2 hours (actually up to 4 according to my comp...) to load a dam game!!
and then it goes on to say \".... it will load quickly every time after that\". first, it doesnt load fast enough to say it loads quickly after that. this should also be changed. somthing more like this.
\"... everytime after that it will load. however, the time it takes to load the game the first time is fairly relative to the FPS you get in the game\"
this can be fixed, i know it, so why cant it just be done.
