slow speeds

hazzer2007 · 2004-01-05, 12:05 PM

I have a problem with the speed of planetside. When I am online with 0 - 10 people around me its ok, but over that, it slows down. My computer is not slow as it is over the recommended speciation for the game, I have broadband at x10 fasters than 56k modem. But I don�t know what is wrong. Any help.

what is your PC specs?

We must have Pc specs to be sure, but turn down all of your video options, it sound like you need less detail, Also try the new Drivers 53.03 for NV 3.10 for ATI

where can i get the new drivers?

Rbstr · 2004-01-05, 06:10 PM

www.guru3d.com has 'em, fast DL's to

Remember 53.03's or 3.10's depending on your card maker(there are some beta vesions and things get the regular ones not any customs as you proably don't knwo what your doing)

EDIT: ACK they have 53.04's now you may want to get those

My speciation are:-

operating system - Me
Processor - AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz
memory free - 45.2 GB
3D card - NVidia NV15 4x 32MB
Direct X - 9
CD ROM - x8
broadband - 288/576

so, what is wrong.

It looks like you dont have enough ram. But the ram free isnt you actual Ram amount but im guessing you have 256 or 128. IM guessing 256 since you probly couldnt start the game. The minimum specs for the game are based on a different game type(more limited one). Games this big are new and they havent adjusted there minimum specs to account for the difference as well as they should have yet(its ok if you realize the Recommended si double the required but if you think like when you see other games you wont realize how much that will entale realisticaly). You want to have 512 minimum but its not recommended. You should go for 768 or 1 gig. 1 gig is recommended but i think 786 is sufficient if you cant afford more or you computer doesnt support more.

Probably but I'm not sure, when I got Planetside I had 256 RAM as well and the game ran pretty well most of the time but then there would be thoes 5 second lags and stuff. And yeah it got laggy in huge fights.
