Sheesh, Reminds me of MB
« on: December 27, 2004, 07:12:39 am »
Okay, when I first installed CB, it loaded completely and I was able to play in like 5 minutes. Now today, I had to wait half an hour just for the bar to get to the middle of the screen. I don\'t have \"load all maps\" enabled and i\'m using the lowest possible settings. Was this intended in the update, or is it just like in MB when the first load always took the longest?

hmm... my loading times are ok (except maybe the one of Hydlyaa.... :D)
Anyway, when i saw the lag in Hydlaa it really reminded of good ol\' times... ;)
Just with the little diffrence that now over 100 people are on instead of 25.

Well my loading times are very fast and I don\'t have any loading problems what so ever....maybe you should upgrade from Win95 to something like XP or even Win98 :D  ;)  :P

You can\'t say that Fedora is slow, since it\'s what you install and how you configure it.

On the topic, 30 min?!
In CVS I get 3-4 min since it\'s in debug mode and that should be around the highest i have ever experienecd.

OS: Windows ME
Processor: Pentium III ~800MHz
RAM: 128MB
HDD: 12.5 free GB
VIDEO: (so low that it shames me)

I\'ve got all the latest drivers, I tried closing out ALL open programs, i just finished updating, etc. etc. As soon as I get some money, I\'m getting a new PC. This 2000 Gateway isn\'t cutting it.  8)

Edit: I thought I\'d just mention that I tried it on lowest possible settings, with all sound options (OpenAL just crashes, even though I installed it) and I have Comcast cable internet, if that helps any.

I do not think that this fact has any significant effect for loading-performance.

I\'m guessing it\'s the RAM, but there\'s nothing I can do about that right now. I tried a program called \"Windows Power Tools\" that suppossedly frees up RAM, but it didn\'t make much of a difference. After running it, I tried to log in, but after an hour nothing happened at all. But if anyone has any recommendations for PC optimizing tools, don\'t hesitate to tell me!

the problem is you specs are just too far below the minimum for the game:

# GeForce 2 or higher 3D graphics card
# 1 Ghz CPU
# 512 MB RAM
# 1 GB free disk space

And unfortunaly i dont think any sort of software is going to help that :( you can only get a new computer :)
