ok is this me or the game????? (not a rant)
« on: December 30, 2006, 04:22:01 am »
ok before i start i know this game is in early dev and is somewhat unstable so please dont think im ranting here basicly ive been here 3 days now and have been plauged with problems....

i managed to fix the first problem my self wich was a GFX driver option issue... then i have been crashing as i just get into the game i fixed this 2x with the "turn sound OFF" workaround and the vertex shader...   i have been ingame 2x both times less then 10 min....


if i try most of the day to get it to run i maybe lucky and get in once then be crashed out minutes latter....

now all im asking is basicly where do i stand, is this normal??? as its in early dev or is this a little bit strange, from what iv seen i love the game and the whole idea of it.... i dont know if its a problem my end or just growing pains in the game, i fix a problem then next time i try to join the game its back and i havent changed a thing....

so please dont think im going off on one like a old women here but is it the game or is it me? if its the game grate ill just sit back and let the devs pick out the holes but im spending hours here wondering if there is anything my end i could do....

so to put it simply is the game extreamly unstable ATM.... and is this latest update the most stable so far.....

i know im going on a bit butits sending me nuts here LOL.... tnx guys and gals

Computer specs and driver versions please.  It seems to run fine for me, so I'm thinking borked install, or hardware/driver issues.

Yes m8 thats the one its a bit of a dog but about a year back my Gf cooked its self :( and thats all i had at the time to throw in...

i was planning on getting a GF 6600/6800 next week somtime but people are telling me that its a waste of time with my CPU (only 1.5ghz) so ill see...

why think thats causing this????

It's probably too old to handle the game.  (Yes, i did see the part where they compared it to being an equivelant of a geforce 2, which is the bare minimum to play PS. I just think those bare minimums need to be updated a tad.) 

PS uses OpenGL, which by searching the web shows that this particular card doesn't like it very well, but does say it can run it, although, again, it mostly doesn't like to.  So that could also be the problem.

I'd suggest going into the PS Setup application, and turning down all the video settings to the lowest settings possible and see what happens.  The game isn't goign to look very pretty, but it may be more stable.

As for getting a new video card, I don't even know if you could get an agp version of that.  It seems nearly all newer cards are PCIe based.  For that system, my suggestion would be to go with something along the lines of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121525 .  Make sure your mobo supports AGP 4x/8x though, else you may have to find something PCI based.

Edit, well, seems the 6600 does come in AGP.  But I do agree, it seems a bit overkill for that old of a system at that price.  The ATI I listed would do the same job and it's a bit cheeper.  But thats all a personal preference really.
