Super Low frame Rate? Super Clunky?

Member Posts: 417
I have:
- Athlon64 3200+ winchester
- 1.5gig ram
- X850XT pci-express
- xp home
I got the game set to maximum settings with 1280x1024 resolution and the performance is super poor! I got like 9-15 frame rates! super clunky! super chunky! super sluggish! lots of sudden pause of laggness! lots of sudden hiccup lagg! I tune the settings down to medium and still super poor performance!
Is this normal? is it the game itself or just me?
Also the controls are awkward! when I rotate my mouse to move right/left and the action seems delayed! it dont turn right away! I thought something is wrong with my mouse! but I check and my mouse was fine! no dust on the ball! no nothing!
The game atmosphere feels awesome! lots of music! and it makes my head bopping the whole time playing it.... music makes the atmostphere alive! also the graphic is pretty immersive and impressing.... stuff sticking out the ground ect... nice detail.
Anyway i got no where... battle with deers and never win! always back to rebirth place.... kill the little bug or animal... i can kill it but hp go down so fast..... got no where. The Super Poor Performance kindda hold me back from really getting in-to it.
btw anyone know any info on Asherons Call 2? is it out yet? or already out?

Hello,
Try to set your video card to Performance (no anti-aliasing, etc...).
You can use theses tweaks too, that will help a lot (it did on my computer):
darkandlight.com/forum/showthread.php
Pentium 3Ghz
2.5 Go RAM (no swapfile)
GeForce 6800
The tweaks will help on any programms.
so..... it really not just me afterall.... its the game itself......
I Apologize.... I am very sorry..... I uninstalled the game. although i can tweak it to make it better like u said but just that..... lazy and seems like a hasstle...... i just want to play a game that is fully and automatically optimized. also the slow character turn is pretty much a problem.... it just feel unomfortable.... pressing W and turning your mouse right and left and characte rdont turn right away..... I almost thought it was my mouse!
the enviorment are detailed and nice with lots of objects ect..... the music is nice..... but it just that the game feels too chunky and clunky and super poor performance..... and awkward movement. I got no where.
i am very sorry..... i quit and uninstalled.

Things havent improved at all. This is still the same problem from last year and the year before that and from Beta. When they say "some improvements have been made" -- I guess they mean they have a new and improved facade campaign to get more suckers in the game.

Sole, you realllly need to get your stories straight.
And umm, seems to me the developer of the VWORLD technology you are alluding to has indeed upgraded and updated the very same thing you are talking about ....hmmm...you think because he was the developer YEARS BEFORE Farlan/NPC tried and are still trying to claim as thiers?
or wait, doncha wanna try to use bigworlds name in this too?> I mean after all, Farlan/NPC DID try to veil the VWORLD tech as BW's work, at least until BW pulled away too.........
oh! and by the by --- please learn the diff between the game engine and the tech you are trying to talk about.....you may just be surprised!
Well, I really do not know enough about the the process to be able to give an informed opinion. Perhaps it can be upgraded, or perhaps it can't.
Most MMOs I have played, (on a 4 year old rig now), have fps rates that average out between the mid 20's and 30's under normal conditions.
When I first came back to DnL last April, my frame rates were around 12-17, (in uncrowded areas), and could drop to 3-6 fps if there were even as few as 5-6 other players around.
Since then, by using various tweaks that other players have suggested, my frame rates have gone up to about 18-27 in uncrowded areas, and about 8-13 in other areas. Other players with better computers get a bit more than that, and can get between 25-30 fps, and I have no reason to doubt them as my performance is just a bit under that.
This is still below the industry standard as I have experienced it in other games; though in large raids, the lag in say EQ Live or EQ2 would drop even lower than that, and in UO I have been frozen in place altogether, same thing in DAoC and Vanguard.
Generally speaking though, it is in exceptional circumstances when that happens, or with new games, such as Vanguard when it was released.
Based on this I suspect that the performance can be improved, but that Farlan is making no attempt to upgrade unless and until such time as the lawsuit is resolved in their favor. Why, after all, put in development time in improving a system, if it will be swept away if and when M. Pourieux wins his suit and shuts the game down?
Honestly this game is in limbo until the lawsuit is resolved one way or the other, IMHO.
Edit:
One other thing I have noticed. For awhile it was assumed that there were hardware compatability problems with DnL and various graphics cards such as ATI. This has proven not to be the case. There are ATI card users, (such as myself), that can play the game, and others that can't. The same is true for NVidia users, or various sound cards, or for players who now use the Vista operating system.
It appears on the surface to be very capricious. That seems to me at least, to suggest that it is in the settings where the problem lies, rather than in a hardware problem.
/shrugs but that is just an observation.
People! People! People!
Dress it up all you want to, the game hasnt changed since SOG/DNL release. I try to PLAY every once in awhile as I still have an account and tap in every once in awhile- especially when the posts get thick - I check out the story myself.
Again, dress it up all you want to. It hasnt changed. This lawsuit hasnt changed what Farlan can/will/should do except try to cover thier butts using the one who is the loudest. The fact that it HASNT CHANGED since SOG/DNL has nothing to do with the current lawsuit. The game was on hold since 2004-2005 and hasnt moved since.
Ask the beta testers, ask the pioneers and ask those of us who still try to pop in every once in awhile to see whats up.

I tried the game with my new 8800GT card and it actually ran worse then my 7300LE card. It hink the technology is passing this game by very quickly and there really seems to be a dead stop on the games progress.
