k ill post in tech help next time...but for now i guess here.


1. how do u check ur mhz processor?
2. i got 256 ram (224 with card)
3. i got 32 bit card (like sis/650/651/m650/740
4. how do u update your driver? ont he properties i click update but their it says i have most current.

aside from the mhz i have almost same as u. cable connection...and would a ram booster help me? i donloaded one to free up ram but since planeshift eats up so much i guess it doesnt matter?

32 mb vid card
256 ram


im getting about 0.27 lowest fps ever to like...5 5fps tops...is their a way to get that consistantly to 5?

when im outside its slower, when i enter the temple its good, when i enter the dungeon its in the middle i guess...

at the planeshift setup im at
1. 640x480(smaller then full screen
2. 8 mbit
3. no sound
4. no music
5. open gl

i heard theirs something about tweeking some number in the opengl.cfg, but what can i do for a 32 m bit card? ?(


PLEASE IF YOUR GOING TO SUGGEST GO BUY A NEW ONE OR GO BUY MORE MEMORY JUST DONT BOTHER POSTING!

sorry for the caps but....

well it wouldnt be hard to split up the game world. and then even people with like 56k and not the best ram or vid card could play somewhat unlaggy. do you know how many people would play this game?! its got such great potential and if they can use it right they may make the best game of the year. the graphics alone are awesome and by the sounds of what the final version is going to be it will be even better! right now i just see people like racing and stuff, just dumb stuff you can do atm, but with these graphics its still pretty fun!

Hopefully they will do something about the lag before they move on, people suggest buying more memory or a better vid card, but in the final release people wont go buy a new vid card and memory to play the game...

General Discussion / What planeshift NEEDS..most needed technically
« on: May 04, 2003, 02:31:34 am »
ok i used to play planeshift on atomic blue i long time back now im back. most needed to least.


1. They need to split up the world, so its not one huge map, smaller maps, thus alot less lag for everyone. notice in differnt games theirs smaller maps and they load, so the loading time at beggining of game intilizing the world isnot so long either, it just happens more often in shoter times, for example, every \"mile\" theirs another map you must load.
2. PLANESHIFT HAS THE BEST POTENTIAL EVER.
they need to make it so its more xompatiable for even laggy computers of other people, thus more people will be able to come to the game. if theirs one thing that drives people away from a game its LAG..

ok i looked on the setup and chnged some things to hopefully make it so i can runt he game faster...im getting like 5fps tops rarely...so i looked and i found these things to do. i just updated something on the updater then i tried to run the open gl and it justs crashes and is full screen black. the slow safe mode says it doesnt support 8 m bit or something... ?( help...im going to restart my comp cause the background also screwed up so maybe thats just it...probaly not...

forget about that. You are using windows, and if you are not into programming, I think it doesn\'t really make sense to compile your own client there...

i have 224 RAM...is that bad? probaly is...


Well thats not too bad. You have 256MB of RAM overall, but you\'r vid card takes 32MB of it, since it is an onboard card with shared memory.

I have something called a sis/650/651/m650/740 for a video card....
What does that mean, what megs is it (see if i could use that post if its 128 or 64)


As I said above its an onboard video card and it uses 32MB of your main memory. Now there are several possibilities:

Some systems support shared video memory up to 64MB, so maybe you have the possibility to increase the amount of your video memory, but at the same time it would decrease the system memory. In that case you could change your settings (it should be documented in your manuals somewhere, how to change that) until you found the fastest setup.
If you can\'t take any more of your main RAM for the vid card (if 32MB vid mem are the max) you can still look for some new drivers for your system.

But anyways you won\'t get much more performance out of it, since those onboard video adapters usually don\'t get the performance of a separated video card (with few exceptions, but not in your case).
So two alternatives would be either to upgrade your RAM or to buy a new (faster) video card (so you could deactivate the onboard one and use all of the 256MB as main memory).

Finally I only hope I haven\'t confused you too much...:D



besides buying new memory another card...i hear they are going to seperate them into differnt maps too so its not one BIG ASS MAP that way the game can run faster, just load when you enter differnt areas, they should defnitaly do this....

i cant really reduce my lag i guess  :(
