What Draw Distance do you use?
« on: 29 Oct 2003, 18:39:36 »
Hi all,
I'm playing on a sh*tty little GeForce 2 MX, 256RAM, machine, and can barley slide the view distance thingy past 700 without losing performance,
But sometimes I like to push it all the way up to 5000 and just look off the top of a big hill, its amazing! but crunches my pc,

I wanna know if any of you supercomputer guys actually play on or around 5000 and get good frames?
And what spec PC do you use?

Cheers
Chris

PS: I know this ain't editing, but where the hell should i post it then?

yep, I play with 5000 and it looks like a amazing. But it doesen't take such a domestic PC; 2,54 Ghz Pentium, Ati Radeon 9700 and 512mt SDRAM

As a general gameplay type question, the best place for this is probably over at the official forums at www.flashpoint1985.com.    Technically you're off topic - OFPEC specialises in specifically editing related questions.

However, as an expert on crappy computers .... my old one was a PII 400.   I played with viewdistance at about 900 (put it up occasionally when necessary) and everything else set to minumum and it was just about manageable.    Very much looking forward to playing on my new comp, when I get the time to install the game.....

Just seen your second post .. you'll be a happy bunny I would think.
