SL lags so much on my comp it's almost un-playable. /Sure I can walk around and do stuff but there is always something loading and very low FPS (2-5 fps)

You must have a decent PC?

[talisa]

2-5 fps? wtf how insanely slow pc do you have? even on my old pc which was a pentium 4 3ghz with 1gb ram and a geforce 8600 i got better fps then that, lols.


anyways, yeah i do have a very fast pc currently. right now i got a core i7 3.2ghz, 12gb ram and a msi GTX 580 twin frozr II oc

nice rig

I have a AMD64 3800+ Sempron with 3GB ram and a 7800GT Nvidia, is that good enough to play all the newest games!?

[talisa]

thanx mindz

do plan to some time upgrade the processor to an i7 990X, which is a hexa-core instead of quad and has 3.46Ghz, and perhaps some day add another GTX580 in sli.

but for the time im quite happy with it, i can run any game at maxed out settings with ease



@phenom
lol wow thats some quite old stuff you have man
time to upgrade

I've been doing all this Quake stuff on the most ridiculously over-sized calculator known to man (lol). I would post my comp specs but my keyboard can't type numbers that small.

I know I know..

I always feels like if I wait a few more months the prices will drop and I can get a decent PC for today's standards but new hardware always comes out and I reset that "upgrade mentality".

I only upgraded in the first place to play Quake!

hey all,

seeing as i have been silent, i just wanted to let you know this is not cuz i havent worked on the map anymore. quite on the contrary actually, ive been extremely busy on it, so much i havent had any time to post. i wont post anything as of yet, cuz the map is sooo close to being done atm, everything is done except the last part with those blocks magically moving onto the buttons and the last 2 halls after, except for that everything is done, including working doors which automatically open when you get close, pulsating buttons which work and open the corresponding doors, working teleporters, actual underwater physics by adjusting the map very very slightly so that the water-level in the enitre map is at the same height so it can be placed to so that the water-level is at the level of sl water surface. only thing that isnt completely done yet is the last sequence with the blocks moving onto the buttons and the doors opening, and the last 2 halls leading to the end-door.

ill wait a bit with posting pics and such till im 100% done, which should be later today or tomorrow

anyways... ill be off to continue building on and finishing the last part

[gdiddy62]
