Just think the gameplay should be further optimized

simonzzzzz

Well, i've asked my friends and most of them thought that the game lagged too much. They had lower than 20 fps for most of the time and they had to set the graphic to rediculously awful. I'm having the same trouble here. My laptop was bought in 2008, and it was good for that time: Intel Core2 Duo Cpu P8600 2.40Hz, 3GB memory, Nevidia GeForce 9600M GT. However, i usually have 10~15 fps and have to set the graphic to worst to be able to run the game. Is it because my laptop is really bad, or just because the game is not completely optimized yet?
It would be really sad if me and my friends all have to buy new computers just for NS2 (although we all love NS)

Avalon

It's not optimized yet. There's already plenty of threads on this subject, do a search.

Flayra

Sorry about that. We're working on getting the game running smoothly, but it's going to take a little while. Hang in there!

KuBaN

You give 'em an inch...

GrapeVine

It's official! they're working on the game.

Lazer

I thought this thread would be a game play discussion.

A 9600GT is a poor desktop card, much less a mobile one. You would have trouble playing any modern game, good looking game with that. Granted, it should do better than it is doing, and that will come with time and optimisation. But still, don't expect too much.

can you guys, you know, do it faster :)

i think everyone would prefer normal smooth running, over extra features.

should be able to run any game, at a resonable resolution like 1280x720 and medium gfx settings very smoothly. I had one and it ran CoD 4 perfectly (which isn't much different looking from NS2)

Thaldarin

Looks the same, should perform the same, what?

Call of Duty 4 was released in 2007, developed since 2005. The technology specifications are going to be much lower than a 2010/2011 game, that's like saying my Geforce 2 could handle Half-Life(1999) so it should be able to handle Half-Life 2(2004). See how I just made a blanket statement much to your own and got it completely wrong?

As far as I'm aware too, IWEngine 2 (a kitted out iD Tech 3 may I add) doesn't have fully dynamic lighting neither, where as Spark for example has such a heavy lighting system.

EDIT: And there's some theoretical law going with the smaller chipsets become the quicker they advance or something similar, which I'd like to take in to account with this here too.

whatever, i don't even give a crap about ns2 anymore, i gotta stop coming here when i'm bored. cyas on release date.... if i'm not playing something else

IronHorse

COD engine is also running on a modified QUAKE 3 ENGINE which was released in 1999!!!

a) laptops can never do what desktops can performance wise (especially when bought by ppl who dont know what theyre doing)
b) 9600 gt was sub par even when it was NEW years ago

to see where your card stands:

an 8800 is an upgrade from what youre using. that card is half a decade old.

also.

I said that, iD Tech 3 :P <3

Avalon

A 9600GT mobile has half the resources of a desktop 9600GT. Just saying.

Note how CoD 4 comes up an average of 22FPS on high.

i swear it is the uninformed that destroy the face of PC gaming and push us further into "consolization"... pick up a Maximum PC mag or do some research on your own with google if you're not going to use the search button.
