A question before joining
« on: July 16, 2003, 10:28:16 am »
Hi :)
I am downloading the client version but I was told that a good connection was needed to play. Is a 56k enough?
I hope this hardware is enough to play if 56k is good:

AthlonXP 2Ghz
1Gb DDR 2700
GF4 Ti 4200 128Mb

If not pls tell me! And using mandrake linux 9.1 (hope it will work :))

It will work on 56k.
Your system looks pretty good too, in theory it should work on your pc just fine.

Welcome to Planeshift. :)

Due to how early the game is in it\'s development, player\'s arn\'t required to have great connection speeds. There\'s little information that needs to be passed between client/server and I don\'t think anyone really experiences proper \'lag\'. You may however experience game performance issues which, strangely enough, seem to be more apparent on high-end machines such as yours.

Right now there\'s nothing you can do except grin and bare it. To maximise performance, I suggest using fullscreen mode with 16bit colour (such can be customised using the included pssetup.exe found in the PS directory and start menu group).

Don\'t be afraid to come here or to the Newbie forum if you need to do a little research. In paticular, you\'re most likely to benefit from [ShamelessPlug]reading my Top Newbie Questions thread.[/ShamelessPlug]

Hope to see you in the game soon! :)

I was just about to ask the same question... but luckily, it\'s on the first page of the forums already.  Only worry is that this computer isn\'t as good as the previously mentioned one... but in a week or two, I\'ll have another one built that should be essentially the same system with a Radeon, rather than GF4 graphics card.

Hmmm...maybe this is just me, but I get one heck of a lot of lag on my 56k when there\'s a lot conversation.

BTW I won\'t be online for a few days. I\'m at home right now and 56k is definitely 73h suxx20|2z. Sorry, but it\'s true.

BTW, Vediria, welcome to PS boards. Post, relax, and enjoy your stay. ;)
