goliath_cobalt Report post Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) I was thinking that we could all post our systems specs here along with any comments on quality of game performance and average FPS. This would help give the developers a sort of guide as to how the game reacts with different system configurations and not just the system specs of the people who are having a problem. After all, it would give you a better set of "controls" when trying to locate a problem. I figured the following would be pertinent: Operating System (OS) CPU Manufacturer (and Mobo if known) Amount of RAM Video Card being used Internet Connection speed/type Display settings Other information that may be relevant (anti-virus programs, firewalls, etc) If there's anything else you guys can think of please let me know. Also, I was thinking that a cross post of this to the General Chat area would allow you to get more people's attention than just the programming forum, I just didn't know where else to put it. OS: Windows XP Pro SP 2 CPU: AMD Sempron 2200+ 1.99ghz (I'd have to look up the mobo info) RAM: 512 MB Video: Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 256MB RAM Internet: Cable connection through router on home network Display: 1024x768 32 bit single monitor Other: Generally good performance (a little lag every once in a while) average FPS when in a non-crowded area is about 100FPS, in a crowded area (storages and such) about 60FPS Edited April 4, 2005 by goliath_cobalt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
