a few questions

#1

Post by Condor » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:35 pm

Ok so, I've never really had any issues online with zandro nor skulltag but from what I would like to dub "pixel overload," I've had lagging/crashing issues with those Armageddon invasion servers, who dun it servers and the more recent Stronghold Samsara server(idk how long it has been around but my curiosity got the best of me today xD). Even RGA, which is similar in size in complexity would only crash once or twice in a blue moon compared to these other mods. To be more specific, I'll be playing on these kinds of servers for a good hour or two, but anything after that will start lagging for me. Same case when I find myself in a situation where there's 100+ demons/ projectiles on my screen. I'll either lag or crash.

So could someone give me an idea of what would be a good set of specs I would require to run these large mods smoother? I enjoy the zombies, the invasion, and other large-spaced gametypes whenever I round up my buddies to play some doom. I'm mostly a duel/deathmatch person but tbh ever since I've returned to doom'in actively back in 09', I also found enjoyment in these other entertaining gametypes the community has come up with.

I've been reading comments ingame about people blaming zandro itself, windows, and other things, but I'm pretty sure a good set of specs will help me out here. Net is perfect in my case so I know it's not that lol.

well, what are your pc specifications ? and well, those modes crash very often (to all) the fault is the mod and zandronum (i dont say it is bad) so if you crash for sure you will not be the only, but as i said, what are your pc specifications? and what are the options you use? (OGL options, resolutions etc.)
Whitout a good PC ATM, i will back when 2.0 come out, :)

It's a VAIO JS All-in-one desktop PC. It's a old pc from 08, and it runs windows vista. My laptop is way better than it, but I use the laptop for studies. By the way I guess I should mention now that I'm bilingual. I can speak both spanish and english perfectly, and I can understand italian, japanese and german (I learned by playing euros for many years and from my interest in that asian cuisine).

Anywhos, I guess I'll tweak a few settings and see what will work best for me on this outdated pc.
