    You'll be able to play, but you'll have to trun the graphics down quite a bit.

    I dont care if i have to select Extreme Performance, my only concerns is lag and loading times, if im able to play it of course ::::01::

    If you got a good connection and turn everything down .Then yes.

    Dunno if you find a low populated server though as most l seems to be at heavy  -full load now.So avoiding the main city zones at prime time will be a good idea.

    Aviod blackburrow its a full load server now.

    Grobb i think is the best as its on medium load at prime time.

    but ya, loading times might be pretty long.

    sorry =(, if you can try and get another 512MB ram. that would help TREMENDOUSLY, believe me...

    BTW my connection is DSL 256 kb...........dont know if its good.
    And how long will i have to wait for loading times?

  • NihilanthNihilanth Member Posts: 1,357

    yes thats good, and loading times might be as long as 30 seconds. that may not look like much on a computer screen, but sit there and count to 30 seconds, its a lot more that you may think.

    that would be a lot better ya. you wouldnt suffer near as much, but i still recommend a gig of ram no matter what the rest of the stats are.

    diego what happened to the computer you were asking about last time you started one of these threads:

    "Im NOT going to change this PC, will i suffer playing EQ2?

    PC specs:

    Pentium 4, 3.2GHz
    Kingston 512 RAM PC-3200
    80 GB 7200rpm
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
    MSI GeForceFX 5500 (256 MB)"

    You've now asked about three different computers.  Odd, don't you think.

    AMD Athlon XP 3000+ - (My 3200+ got broken sent it back and had to settle with this) 

     1gb of pc2700 (3200 went bust as well)        

    160gb 8mb hard drive

    GeForce 6600GT

    300K broadband connection

    The lag is terrible. Good for you that you cannot play this game.

    Mostly comes from too many NPCs and rats, pigs, dogs animations. And the talking NPC speaks loudly seems there is no one but them. And the pop up message box chasing you from behind. .

    I hate to go in town because of lag. Every town in EQ2 is like a dump.

    Very dirty game environemnt I have ever played before.

    I have ATI 8500 but it is not compatible with EQ2. I changed to ATI9600 pro, it works but does not help to reduce the lag.

    Personally after customizeing my performance options, Only time i get lag is from a spike in the game. Since the Large Relocation of many many players to a new server, my server Najena has for the most part been lag free. Id suggest getting a better computer, you need at least 1GB of ram to run this game smouthly, or turn your graphics down a little, theres a great post on the main forums board that explains what ever one does and how it affects your computer. (side note- i personally enjoy coming into town and watching the cats chse the mice, and haveing most the NPC's walking around and saluteing me and such. Very Realish)
