More lag that makes me want to kill someone

[Cybio Kingfist]

After quitting planeshift for about 5 weeks because of the lag I used to have I tried reinstalling today and found out I still have it. I don\'t see how it can be taking up all my memory and it only does this when I have planeshift active.

Relax a bit, it\'s only an open beta of an alpha test or something like that. That means there are probably lots of bugs in it, including memory leaks. By the way, don\'t kill anyone

Well when I first got it christmas eve it ran ok. Eventually it just decided to be a jerk and it hasn\'t worked right in a long time. Since the newest update the grpahics even seem to be messing up in some places.

[ThomPhoenix]

Yeah, with the latest patch the graphics had a little update, so it\'s possible there are a coulpe of new bugs. I am having troubles with the graphics myself since about 2 updates ago, when I enable Vertex Buffer Object in the Setup tool, planeshift keeps crashing. You might want to change the setttings in the setup tool yourself. I disabled the Vertex stuff and check with what setting planeshift worked the best, and now it runs brilliant, you should do that too.

Good luck.

I don\'t see the problem? It\'s only using about 300mb of memory, and obviously any app uses 100% CPU to get the best performance.

whats so bad about that?



so i dont see why yours is lagging unless you have a really bad FPS :\\

Well, I\'ve never seen any other program do that.

I\'ll just try every thinkable configuration with the settings.

Man you have MANY MANY MANY games on your comp? Manybe thats where the lags coming from? Well i don\'t know lol i know nothing about comps.

I think the lages because of where the server is ran and where i am. Tell me if i\'m right. Well i think it\'s part of the lag anywayz.

nope the lag, is local. it wouldn\'t matter if the server was in the same room on a terabit connection. you\'d still see the same amount of lag. it is just the computer trying to crunch too many bits at one time.

But the thing is why is it slow for me and not other people. I know alot of other people lag as much as me but why don\'t some people get this lag?

[ThomPhoenix]

How do you discribe lag?
1 high memory usage or cpu usage (\'cause that\'s normal!)
2 Low fps in-game (that\'s graphical lag, caused by bad graphics cards or slow cpu\'s)
3 High ping (who cares about that? It\'s not an FPS game...)

[Soulless_Body]

I only have number one. Not 2 and NOT 3.

[ThomPhoenix]

Well, then you have lag because of your pc. Other people don\'t have this lag because they have more memory, memory with less latency, faster cpu, faster gpu, etc. Totally normal.

Say what?
You can\'t have 1000 since it\'s not a power of 2. And 1000 what? KB? 1GB space is a little too little for the SWAP file to grow in
