Laggy?

[Soulless_Body]

Ok when i go into the game it is really laggy?

I have been asking around why this is so? And they say it\'s my video card? But is there any way to fix this laggyness with out buying a new video card? Because really i\'m not go\'ing to buy a new one just to play this game.(Then it want be free?) Lol.


My self thinks it\'s not the video card cause planeshift is the only game that lags for me.

I noticed this same thing yesterday.

I have been playing fine for 2 weeks.   Then last night I got the latest updates (client now says 3.006).   Now the game runs smoothly for a few feet (game distance) then it will just pause for about 30 seconds.    Then the character will start walking again.

This happened in a battle too.  I was fighting a rat, then the system did the weird pause and when it came back I was down to 2 hp and it froze again.   When It unfroze I was in the death realm.

I have a P4 2.4,  512MB Ram and a GeForce 3 Ti 500.

I went into a few of my other games and didn\'t get the freezing issues.

I didn\'t have time to do any other troubleshooting.

I noticed the game seems to studder also.  I get an average of 40-60 FPS.  But I will be walking and all of a sudden it will studder than my FPS will drop to 20 then right back to normal. Then sometimes ussualy right before the game crashes it will drop to 20 but will not go back to normal. I think memory leaks are causing me to get poor frames the longer I play.

Hey how do i update to 3.006 any ways? it says to wait a bit but When i press ok it exists and the (ok) thing never coms up?

[mbanks850]

IN the planeshift install directory is a file called update.zip.  Unzip and overwrite into the planeshift install directory.    Rerun the updater.   The updater should now be version 1.0.2.3

[DrunkenPimp]

I did that and it still wont update...

[mbanks850]

Not sure what to tell you.   That worked for me when the updater would not update itself.

[AryHann]

Not sure is a solution, but do you have the latest drivers of your graphic card?

Ary

[mbanks850]

Yeah using the Nvidia drivers 66.93

And where is the planeshift install directory?

[AryHann]

It SHOULD be in /program files/Planeshift Crystal Blue/

PS: eventually use the function \"SEARCH\" into files and search .. planeshift!

[Soulless_Body]

Ok i did that and i\'m still not following?

Because i really don;t know how to overwrite watever you mean? Pls say it like your talking to some one that know NOTHING about computers.

Pls say it like your talking to some one that know NOTHING about computers.

Dont mean to be rude or anything but If you know nothing about computers, you should not be playing planeshift. You should play some other game that is not in PRE BETA stage.

Or go find your Windows Manual/Getting started guide. Or take some computer courses.

Again not to be rude or anything.

When i say i don\'t know ANYTHING about computers i don\'t really mean i don\'t know anything? I know stuff but theres stuff i don\'t know ok.

I went there and it\'s not there? And i\'m saying i don\'t know how to find it if it\'s not there.

And why can\'t you just tell me how to find it or overwrite it? It can\'t be that hard comon i\'m a fast learner. Well i\'m a bad speller but still i\'m a fast learner.




Why wan\'t any one tell me? pls pls tell me. It cant take that much off your time to tell me can it??

[mbanks850]

my updater.zip file was in  f:\\games\\plane shift which is where I installed the game to.   I didn\'t know there was an updater temp folder.
