damn I had nothing but trouble until I went to 2d, and turned down the hardware acceleration. slowdown, and crashes galore.
And I have a wicked rig. 700mhz P3 overclocked to 950mhz, 384 mb ram, a 7200 rpm ata hard drive, and an intel 810 chipset motherboard with a Voodoo 4 PCI card. runs sweet as hell now. |

Athlon T-bird 800
128m 7200rpm HD GeForce2 ddr 32mb 4x agp vid card (this bad boy rocks!) And with that setup, i still get the occasional slow down! I'll give 2d a shot and see about quality. |

I switched to 2D after my last post on this thread (Ages ago). Game performance is up about 50%. Also, originally when I started playing the movies would stutter, I figured it was just a player problem. With 3D off they run perfectly.

Why the hell are everyone "unregistered"??
Why don't you register? You get more advantages (like a sig) and it's much more fun! ------------------ I saw the movie, but I didn't think the action scenes were THAT good. |

look, in my professional(ish) opinion the 3d effects in infinity are poorly implemented - in fact the more i see of infinity the more i find its just not very well put together - and it gets worse with the later games. i suppose its not biowares fault - it is a big complex engine and RPG players tend to care more about plot and stuff than bug fixes.
i tend to find its total the number of effects on screen that counts, rather than complexity. so two magic missiles is ten effects, with transparency. unless you have a 3d card way in advance of the recommended specs (i dont) your gonna get lag. when i get a geforce 3 GTS ill let u know... |

On the subject of Computers. I am running a (lol) Pentium I 166mHz with 32 megs of ram and about 2 gig hard drive. No hardware accelerator or anything. I managed to get Shadows of Amn to work quite well. I didn't have to cut any sound or anything. I have to play on 640-480 res in 2d but it all works!! My friend has a monster of a computer (compared to mine) over 500mHz and such but his doesn't run the game much better!?
I played Shadows of Amn on another powerful computer about 1ghz and fully loaded. Only then did the game run basically without a hitch, even in 2d. [This message has been edited by Andromedos (edited 10-25-2001).] |
