Performance Issues.
« on: April 03, 2006, 09:45:48 pm »
I get really bad lag in the game, I have 256 RAM and a 64 MB Intel 82845G Graphics card, is there anyway possible other then going and buying all this stuff for my computer because right now I don\'t have the money.

Mmm...
well the problem resides mainly on your graphics card, but hey if you managed to log in and see things nicely...

Outside of game:

Use Planeshift Setup, and go to texture downsampling and move the slider a bit to the right (prior doing this, first try the suggestion that follows, labeled as \"in game\")

In game:

Go to options (second button on the top starting from left) then sound-general. Disable all background sound, effects, etc.

Good luck with it.

That card is probably a big factor. If you\'ve already tried playing with sound disabled (sound has been causing memory leaks), and you\'ve read the Known Fixes sticky and followed some of the tips, there isn\'t much more we can advise.

General rule of thumb:
If I have to look up the card, it probably won\'t work.

If it\'s not a real 3D graphics card, there\'s not much we can do.  If it loads up the game and shows textures, there\'s hope.  Futz with the settings as directed in my sticky, but that\'s about all you can do.

The thing is, you don\'t just need a \"video card\" as you put it.  You need one capable of playing 3D games.  You probably have the same Radeon ATI card I have in my laptop, which does work fine.  However, many laptops and cheap desktops just have basic graphics cards, which are simply incapable of playing 3D games.  (some have quoted Runescape, and I assure you that doesn\'t count)  Not everyone\'s computer is the same, and there are physical limitations that people need to know are there.
