horrid

[Malgoroth]

i do not know how any human being can run any comp and get this game to work,
i have done everything..  my spexx are

Pent 4
I.7 ghz
512 mb ram
geforce mx

it uses over 100% cpu usage and over 400 mb of ram,
i don\'t get it.
at all...

no game have i ever played has been like that.

and for those who think im dumb and blind.. i have read the threads... nothing helped. at -all-

[Midivar]

Like I just said in another thread, all games use 100% CPU power, even on such things as titlescreens. That is because they want to utilize as much CPU power as possible to have the game run with as high a framerate as is possible. Using 400MB where it is available, does not seem like a bad thing to me, neither. What is the problem here? Lousy performance? Then just say so. Sheesh.

Chill out - it\'s alpha - it runs horribly, but it\'s getting better. It doesn\'t really work well for anybody, but they\'re doing a great job with the development. Be patient and you will be rewarded.

[Kinoss]

your deaf and blind! LOL!

as stated earlier all Open GL programs us 100% of the CPU and you probably need to update the game if you havent already. Lower the resolution and color depth of the game too. Oh, and close ALL running programs

If you\'re playing in OpenGL, full-screen mode with 32-bit color, that card is why you\'re slowing down.  I have a much more well-rounded system than you and only play in 16-bit color.  Suggestion: turn off everything running in your taskbar, get a RAM-freeing program, and drop the res/graphic detail a bit.  You should be good after that.

Oh, and two more words: \"pre-alpha\".  Learn it, live it, love it.

since when has everyone gone into competition for \" i have a better comp then you neener neener neener\"...

anyway... im not going to rip appart my computer for a game thats more hassle... im just going to do something most people can\'t and wait.

my computer is made for artistic editing, 3D animation etc... so it isn\'t a shitty computer in the least. its not even a year old and i only paid 2400 for it in august... it came with alot of hardware as well.

i don\'t appreciate people assuming im the retard here,

i know how to run my computer thanx.

thats really rude to assume i have no idea what pre-alpha means... *shakes head*

your deaf and blind! LOL!

yea thats really mature, i just hate people who assume just what i am... yup im really deaf and blind .. if i where i doubt i would be a visual artist both by hand and digitally... *wink*

anyway... with the amount of rude that i have recieved for inquiring over a simple little thing i doubt i would even want to play with spoiled children... opps... now im rude...
eye for an eye... it even says so in the bible.

this is a technical thread... not a harass -me- thread... in the places i have been threads are deleted for off topic bickering at single people as a person more then the topic.

i hope people read this and understand instead of be kiddies and bicker back to have the last word.

[Kahlisi]

Malgoroth - I was not attempting to flame/offend you, I was only trying to help.  I see that my response was not taken kindly, and will henceforth refrain from talking in this subject.  Good day to all.   )

[Kiern]

Malgoroth seems to think everyone is flaming him on every post he has made, talk about paranoia

Dude, no one was being rude to you (although I\'m about to be), and you did not \"inquire over a simple thing\", after all, the name of this thread is \"horrid\". Did it cross your mind that possibly the people who have hundreds of posts on a web board dedicated to this \"horrid\" game may take offense to that?  So, if you don\'t want to play with us, we don\'t really care.  An over-crowded game isn\'t fun to play anyway, especially if it\'s over-crowded with whiney babies.  Kahlisi\'s quote was in an attempt to help you; give her a break.

Ok, now I am no longer trying to be rude. This is another attempt to help you, so if you think I\'m calling you a retard, well good for you. When you test a new product it goes through several stages of testing. The first is alpha. Therefore, pre-alpha is before the first testing.  It\'s a very unmade game.  It\'s like if you\'re writing a paper and all you\'ve done so far is write a tital and a thesis statement.

One final word: Chill

[Malgoroth]

i would rather people would have known what this thread origionally spread to BEFORE assuming i think everyone is flamining me.. im also not a guy.. so im not a him...  and im not paranoid, since i have noticed people tend to be sticky about grammar and spelling they should take into consideration that their posts tend to confuse and annoy others making the point come across completely different in tone and meaning to the person it is directed to.

the title of this thread ment horrid i can\'t play or see anything... funny how people are on auto pilot like flies to a lightbulb... *shakes head*

i do know what stage it is in.. im not blind. i do see some people being rather polite and others just  completely egotistical and snide, like the person writing in the posts before all of these that happened to disappear on us... so if people could lay off and see reality for a bit that would be cool.

again horrid stating a dislike of not being able to play something i want to.. doesn\'t mean that i HATE HATE HATE.. geeze. if i hated it i would have stated it clearly as i saw this other guy named beaner do the same night this was made... funny, his posts where deleted to. sometimes people need to really see these.. if they where locked. he was one who was being snide not me.

[Kiern]

why do people need to see these? I\'m pretty sure they know what they think, if they like it or not, without you telling them.  As for not being a \"him\" im sorry, but there was no way for me to know now was there?

[Vengeance]

You guys are arguing with someone who wrote this: :-)

it uses over 100% cpu usage

Malgoroth, your computer is certainly sufficient to run PS well.   I suggest you upgrade your gfx card asap and your experience should be much better.
