How does this run? Do you need a monster of a system for it to not crawl at three FPS? I'm thinking of picking it up, but my system was old four years ago. Now it's ancient.

It depends. It ran smoothly for Rosa's shitty system, but on mine I had to have twice the RAM as her crappyass system in order to run it acceptably.

One thing PS is really big on is RAM, even though Rosa's old system didn't seem to think so. 1gb or bust.

Nothing amazing happens here.

Mine runs fairly smooth with 512. I have occasional spots of lag.

I have had no problems with 512 ram, any hiccups in gameplay are connection issues. Maybe you system just sucks?

---Maybe it is an issue with the vid card, Most of the stuff I been running I have had no issues with the video, my card has twice the Vid memory than what is standared.

256 video memory is completely unnecessary

my system owned Rosa's old one (her new one owns the face though). Trust me, these weren't connection issues. I'd see 72 ping on the status thing with like 5fps. Heh.

Unless SOE is really lame and makes it only run acceptably on nVidia cards before you buy unholy amounts of RAM, then it shouldn't be an issue with the card.

It runs like a charm with 1gb of RAM, though.

I had no problems with it when I had 512 MB of RAM. I have no problems with it now that I have 1 GB. I have every option at max, except resolution, and the game looks and runs perfectly for me.

I blame ATi.

No, no. The company you're supposed to blame is SOE for selling out to nVidia and purposely making ATi products run their game poorly in comparison to their nVidia counterpart.

If you are still using the same system you decribed in IRC a while back, then you can hang it up as an impossibility.

PS BARELY, and I mean BARELY ran on an 800Mhz Athlon with 512 RAM. It ran better when I got the bew vid card for that system but not by much. It just made it mostly playable.

I don't know what it's like NOW, but I'd still feel pretty confident in saying anything less than at LEAST a 1Ghz-1.5Ghz Machine with at LEAST 512RAm and a Decent Vid Card will not be able to run it effectively to any degree of playability.

Hey, if anyone else has a buddy thing, you should let me try out Planetside. Brim is in it, so I'd like to check it out too.

Does anyone know if you sign up for that $9.99 fileplanet deal if you get a buddy key or not?

If so, I can give someone a buddy key.

I should have 6 or so more buddy keys, PM me for one.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

I don't know how much I can tell you people, but PSide is all about RAM.

You need a gig of RAM to run smoothly, basicly.

I have a far worse computer than Kegwen had in all regards except RAM
And yet I ran better than him, despite having a bout 1 gig of CPU speed on me, and a better video card.

Somebody.. anybody.. gives me the buddykey..
They say a smile is a gift which is free to the giver and precious to the recipient. But giving the finger is free too, and I find it more personal and sincere.
