Unlag Game

Planeshift it looks good and all that, but it should be recreated for a more faster client runing..For example the game Battle Of Immortals, the game runs perfectly, and runs fast, even in Advance Settings, and it looks great!

Planeshift should be the same, fast running even in highest settings and looking great

The devs do not have enough time to recreate the game,it is not commercial so we do not have funds to buy developer-slaves,we do not have limitless time and the devs do not own a time machine.

True, true, but then again, this might be a suggestion for the Google summer of code?

"You are not allowed to make polls."

And the developers already know a bunch of reasons why it is not optimal. Especially because the town maps are in an outdated format for the newer engine, using a better culler (a routine which calculates what is invisible and can be omitted) would possibly require exchanging the whole cities.

you can force the hw culler but you need a good video card for it or it will be worse than the software one

But then again "Planeshift's goal is to become the best free MMO" and to be that, they need less lag, less lag = an extra point at being the best game.

Maybe i did not play the game long enough for now, but i have never seen it lagging. I just have a core i3, a 8800GT w/512MB ram and 4GB of ram. highest video settings available and no lag.

not very beautiful either, but no lag.

it's getting there, one of the recent updates changed how spell effects were handled and i find they no longer create the massive lag spikes they used to, weather effects aren't as bad either and i'm using a 3 year old computer with a 3 year old ATI video card, so slowly but surely it's getting better.

Always be aware that optimizing the game has to be done in two rather distinct projects: "the game" with its models and maps on one hand, and "the engine" which is used by the game, but has to be used in an optimal way on top of all, which requires both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. And the many different graphic solutions are available out there, the many different ways might be optimal for each of them. Spare time developers and testers are unable to buy dozens of different computers to test the game on many different systems. Therefore all the players are testers too...

Too generic.
