New Patch

WTF have soe done now, i cant even get above 5 fps when looking at an enemy now even with all graphics settings on low, is it just me or is everyone getting worse fps.

I have a GeForce FX5700 Ultra 128mb Graphics card, 2.8ghz Intel Pentium 4 and 512MB 400mhz ddr ram.

Unless there's been one in the last few days (post 2.8) then nope, no difference for me!
I blame the RAM - I used to have 512 DDR and was sure that that should be enough, and then I got 512 more... oh the difference that made.

Yeah, I have almost the exact same system as you except I have 1Gb of memory and I dont have a problem. I dont get below 20fps at bases with a red alert with most of my gfx settings on high.

yeah, its always the RAM, whats even worse is that they say on the official website that you only need 256 mb of it, on the front of the PS box there should be a huge label saying 'warning, uses alot of RAM' like some cigerette box...

Yeah no kidding. 512 barely passes. It's really the minimum required. You need a gig to even make it worth your time.

im just about to get an upgrade to 500. so its gona e laggy for me? i had it on my old computer that only had 256 and it ran fine but that was a year ago.

Er....it will lag, yes. It won't be OMFG I HATE THIS FUCKING GAME laggy, but it's guaranteed to piss you off sometimes, especially when a squad or more of enemies is around.

Is 2.8.7 live now?

I Hate Pants · 2004-07-06, 12:44 PM

Well I manage to get through the game fairly well with 768mb of ram.

Yeah, the patch is live. But I'm curious about something. At the server select screen, it gives you info about the new patch. In it, it says that the only medal available now is the Meritorious Achievement medal awarded to characters (not accounts) that are a year old. I know that my character is well over a year old, but I don't see where the medal is supposed to be. Anybody know what's up with that?
