The F-ing slowest game out there
« on: June 11, 2002, 06:02:56 pm »
OMFG this game is ...... up flow. I pressed on create character 6 or 7 times before it went to the next \"page\" and when i finishe everything  the ........ game shut down because this illegal operations ......  .......

It\'s sad to say but for a long time this game will be worse thaN RUNESCAPE .....or in nicer w3rds runescape will be better than this game for a long time.

LOL anyone with pentiim 3 under  900 mhz  and 128 ram will still problems...and thats if u have a really really really good connection...if ya got 56k.....well....runescape will be just fine for you.

I tried to log in twice and it did the same thing. The lag is unbearable..(you could die) and the game is way too detailed for an mmorpg. Geez i got problems playing some games without online..now play a game with hundereds of other people with the lag where it takes me 30 seconds for 1 single step...LOL its better if the game was kept private and the \"gamemakers\" dont get preassured by moronic didiots that just say \"i dont care if the game destroys and burns my comp into peices..I WANA PLAY!!!\"

Yes this is my opinion and its a dam good one.

and to all them white boys out there like me.....W3RD!!

edit...

http://www.blahblahblah.com  this is what i tried to warn you about. But no one listened :(

the site is edited but if any devs want the site...just ask or pm me....cause it will make this game a living hell(im allowed to say hell right?

Did it occur to you that this game is not finished? We are working very hard on making things faster. Don\'t worry, it will get better. A lot better if all goes well :-)

game requirements are high cause this is an emence 3D world. not some cardboard cut out like the other game you mentioned. have you ever looked into games like DAoC or even EQ? these are the games we are following for style. check the requirements of those games sometime. if you think a game has to be able to run on a slow comp to be good then why are those doing so well. if you tried to play either of those with under the requirements you listed, it would be just as slow. does that mean those games are crap as well?

bottom line is the game you are trying to compare this one to is so bellow our standards. they are complete opposites of themselves. i don\'t even consider that game to be a RPG. it is more of a hack and slash action adventure game. it doesnt matter if it has quests or not. there is no storyline to follow, no true stratagy to be discovered, and no player emersion. its like playing an online version of Zelda. well i shouldn\'t say that cause even Zelda has more class in gameplay than that.

Sorry David... I in no means ment to insult Zelda and thats why I made the retraction saying that i shouldn\'t have compaired the other game to it. That Zelda out classed it.

Yeah, but the way you worded it implied that Zelda didn\'t have much class, either...
Oh, well.... I accept your apology. :P

How odd.  I had no noticable lag with a 28.8 connection.  Admittedly, my computer is somewhat faster than average, but if the connection were the problem, that wouldn\'t matter.

Actually, runescape is better right now. Quit whining about it. It\'s actually a game, and it runs on lots of computers, easily, without fuss, with no crashing.

And just because other games have huge system reqs doesn\'t mean you have to. This game, as it stands now, is not worth the system reqs it currently has. It runs slow on almost any computer, and even with a 56k modem the lag is awful. As it stands, most people still have modem connections, and not t1 or cable modem. Those are things you are going to have to solve before this game is finished.

And although big pretty city scenes are great, they wreak havoc on anything below a 1ghz system, because of all the polygons. Even with a 1ghz with 128 megs of ram, it slows down quite a bit when all those polygons come into view.

Runescape is the best free one out there. And they are going fully 3d in a couple of months, so you will have more to compete with. I think you can get this game out and working well enough to play, but it looks like it is a very long way away. I will check back in a few months. Until then, I will play the best free MMORPG there is, namely, Runescape.

One thing that would be very nice if everyone understood is this:

Network performance and Frames Per Second performance are NOT related in Planeshift AT ALL.  They are independent.

If the game reacts slowly to you, it is most likely because of your video drivers being old.  Update them and you might be surprised.  It is certainly NOT network performance causing your problem.  The game uses less than 1KB/sec at the moment and the networking is separately threaded from the rendering of the game in 3d.

Please spread the word.

It\'s because the engine is poorly programed, it renders the entire world, even when your on the other side of the world when it should just render what is viewable.

As the project manager of Crystal Space (the engine) I can tell you that this is certainly NOT the case. Just the opposite in fact. CS is very efficient at ONLY rendering what is visible and that\'s also what happens with the PlaneShift level.

However, this is not good for modern computers/3D cards as modern cards can handle a lot of geometry easily and the overhead of the visibility culling system is too big.

So I\'m now working on a new visibility culler that will cull LESS but it is a LOT more efficient. So it will work a lot better.
