0.85 demands higher performance?

[Jigsaw]

I think we should stop rasining the requrements, not all of us can handle that, and i dont have the time the spare money and the will to upgrade.

Wot?

I simply cannot understand people complaining about the graphics requirements of this game its like any other game if your PC cant handle it dont play it or upgrade.

For example I cant play GTA4 on the PC. I know I cant play GTA4 so I steer clear until I can upgrade. Same thing goes for COD 5.

Graphics requirements and quality will continue to get better in all games as technology improves so ytf are you complaining to the Devs about a trend that they have no control over and have no wish to break from cos they want to see how far this engine can go.

And for the record I play on all low graphics settings on all maps cos the laptop I play on cant handle anything more, and I shall continue to play on low until such time as I can get a new PC. Its all about being willing to compromise.

Well, it's not a case of just buying a new video card.

I think i bought the last VGA motherboard ever created. (although i think it does support a PCI card).
I need at least a new motherboard / CPU / DDR and new Power Supply before I can get a new card. Also, i haven't had an upgrade for 2/3 years or something. So I'm totally out what's the best at the moment.

That card isnt great, but I used the same card on my spare computer for mapping until recently (and I still use it for somethings). It struggled on some maps, but I ran it with almost everything on high. Im pretty sure if you turn some things down it will be ok. The main ones to change are dynamic lighting/shadows and also textures - thyre the main things that cause stress. If you still have problems then keep turning stuff down.

The main thing that you need rather than a new gfx card is RAM. 1gb doesnt really cut it on any games nowadays. You can get 2gb for peanuts and you will notice a massive difference.

Bear in mind that your PC wouldnt even run Vista, and that OS is getting replaced very soon.

Guys, it's Project Reality. Real Life has pretty good graphics. Not quite Crysis good, but almost there.

[mp5punk]

yea i got quite a bit of lag on faluja

[Tofurkeymeister]

Just get a good ol' 8800GT for $100 U.S. dollars and you should be good to go. I can play everything on high at 1680x1050 with dynamic stuff low. Always near 90 FPS.

I have a 8800GT... but my Pentium D limits me to medium at 1080 X 1024 at 30-ish FPS . Make sure you have a good processor as well...

I think we should let the devs have a brake and not mention anything about .9

Real life don't lag XD

Koregall has still an FPS issue. Some of the new maps too...Its like a bug or something..

FPS Issue for me is: not running all time at Vsync with 60 Frames Stock :=

Cause i love vsync for my eyes. Of course all settings are maxed, only AA is 4 and adaptive AA is off. AF is 16.

I think its like a bug cause my 4870 OC and [email protected] 4 GB Ram must handle this game 60 Frames Stock :=

But very great JOB deVs!

[CodeRedFox]

Real life don't lag XD

Speak for yourself, Is this week over yet! draggggggin

Koregall has still an FPS issue.

Gonna need allot more info then that The FPS post in the forums will be open next week and we can work through it but your the first person to say the FPS is still bad.

Ive got a 6800gt 256mb and P4 3ghz, everything mediu, resolution 1024X768 everything on medium. I get lag on the newer maps when I face the fires and occasional lags loading textures, but apart from that its playable.

[EPatrick]

Deal with it.

Yes nothing has changed from 0.8 for me, its even when i look in some directions. No matter if only a wall is there or some wide and open textures or players...

i can go into it with screens next week..but remember Vsync is on and frames ONLY drop to 40-

My mates got a Pentium D @2.8ghz, 4gig RAM, and a 8800GTS 640. He averages 40fps @ 1280x1024 on any map.
Some thing must be wrong with your set-up.

The Point is im already Running an EVGa GTX 280 FTW, WTF shall i Upgrade?! I mean its like 24fps in some fallujah places for me, cou cant tell me that. PR maybe closer to "reality" but your not saying a "Fit for Crysis Ultra High" Machine cant run PR on constant 40fps?

h0mie, if you're running a 280 and getting 24fps, you'd better look at a few other things, other than your video card. You either dont have enough RAM or your CPU is too shit for your card (the bus is throttling your card)

[h0mie]

Well ill give it a shot in aprox., march then well talk again ^^

I do not have problems with performance but I agree dev answer was kinda rude to people that cannot upgrade their computer and its kinda odd to have a bf2 mod getting almost as heavy to run as crysis.

I love PR and since I can run high performance game I would like maps and assets to always get better at each release as well but I understand people with low performance computers complaining about it. I know pr players that already must play on low, if requirements keep getting higher, they'll just stop playing it.

[Gaz]

Ok then. If you can't run 0.85, I highly doubt you'd be getting ultra high on Crysis.

Fellas, it's 2009. Improving on the engine PR is built upon = higher specs required. We aren't going to limit it, that's just the way it is. There's nothing rude about that. We aren't standing still, and we're certainly not going backwards. Catch up, or you may start playing multiplayer solitaire soon

[Spaz]

Games get bigger and more good looking and with that you will get higher requirements. Thats just how its works and there is no reason for PR to hold back when they could be pushing the engine even more. + Most people can play the mod without any big problems with the FPS.

I fully back Gaz's comments.

We are stretching the limits of this BF2 Engine to its extreme, you can not say "PR is just another BF2 Mod"

Like has already been said - its 2009, you can not expect us to hold back on our development because some guys are running low end PC's (which are becoming a small number of people now) .... we need to continue to develop this, and yes of course PC's will need to be of a higher standard, but no more than a new game on the market right now .. really.


If you have a decent PC, and you are still having issues ..... then its not PR, its something else on your PC set up.

I have as a spare computer - built from old free bits - an old P4, 1Gb 3200 RAM, on a 5700 geforce card for my daughter to use now and again, and I know that runs PR fine on Med/Low settings - and that is a low end PC for today !!!



Nothing is rude about that ..... its just the facts?
