Very laggy!
« on: September 30, 2003, 10:44:45 pm »
My system info:

Time of this report: 9/30/2003, 16:30:37
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 1 (2600.xpsp2.030422-1633)

Page File: 114MB used, 1762MB available

Video card:
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce2 MX/MX 400
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Device Key: Enum\\PCI\\VEN_10DE&DEV_0110&SUBSYS_88371462&REV_B2

Most systems have lag in this version of the game, since it\'s very early in development (no more than a pre-alpha tech demo actually)

but If I was to take a guess, I\'d blame it on your graphics card.. :P

Try lowering the resolution and colourdepth you use. Also run the Updater.exe program for PS and see if performance increases.

You\'ll lag no matter what you do on MB, at least at certain points...if you want it to be lag-free you will just have to wait

I\'ve had the best experience with full screen, res: 1024*768...

but that might also differ from machine to machine,...

Lag is inescapable in the current version, if it will make you feel better, my char cannot move at all currently. :)

Maybe this will help.

I\'m currently getting between 0-4 fps. I have sound turned off and game resolution set at 800x600 with 16bit color. Running in Open GL mode.
My system is a Athlon 1100mhz
512 DDR Ram
Geforce2 Ti 64 DDR video
7200 ATA/100 HD

I have Cable broadband Highspeed internet.

Here is a trace route to the planshift server.
