Uberlag on connect

[asdf]

When I finally got connected (took 3 days) I found that the game lagged so badly that in 1/2 an hour, I still hadn\'t moved at all.  Any ideas as to why?  I\'d really like to try the game, even though it is alpha.  Anyone had/have this prob and know how to fix it?

AMD 1.6Ghz

SAme type of problem

AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.33
256MB Ram
ATi Radeon 32MB SDR
Win XP
650MB Swap

Seems to occur with the weather effects. When I first connected today, I could move fin until the rain started, then it\'s like, can\'t move, then eventually the game stop responding and I had to kill in.

Hate to say, I get less lag in a game of Ghost Recon with 16 players and lots of rain. And that\'s with several guys in the view. On Planeshift, just 2 guys that I could see and I got the above with the weather.

Yes, I know it\'s a totally different game, could it just be a case of too much information being sent back and forth? I also noted that Planeshift takes my swap usage from around 170MB (just after boot) to close to the full swap, around the 550MB-600MB level.

ok there is nothing that is going to help you guys..... for right now there are a lot of bugs and bad coding. For some strange reason it seems to run better on low end machines like mine:

551mhz
256 ram
32mb ati rage fury
20gb hdd

btw what the heck is swap friday?

Swap - Page File, Virtual Memory, Swap file

Ah well, hopefully they can clear up the worst lag issues for the next release.

It seems to run better in Linux than in Windows, for some reason it runs a bit better in low-end systems than high-end systems as well, but for the most part, I think you\'ll just have to do like the rest of us with this problem, and wait it out until it gets repaired.
