Wishdokkta Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Hi, I am new and love the game except for one thing. Lag. Sorry, is it just me? Ahazi server - an inocuous Tuesday night (GMT) nice ping at 207m/s (not bad for US server in UK) and I am getting an fps reading of ONE! Everytime I enter a major starport my fps drops to one and the game becomes totally unplayable. Is anyone else getting this? My PC is not super fast but it is capable (512RAM, Radeon 9000 128mb GFX and 2000+ AMD), I have not had problems on any other games. Whats going on?
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Theres alot of posts about Lag in Galaxies. Its not your PC - its the game. I noticed compared to last year that the lag increased so much in some areas - example - when exiting the cloning centre on Anchorhead, when the door opens, and you turn to exit - the amount of lag and frame rate drop used to some times crash the game. This was on the Servers that are in Holland. It was bad, but not that bad when i was on Eclipse DMUK
Eipaob Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 ya it lags a lot for me when i come out of a starport or out of building in a big city with tons of people in it.
Darth MarcII Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Yeah, lag in the cities can get irritating. The best time to be in the cities is early in the morning. I was doing doughnuts in the main square in Theed with my X34 Landspeeder and I didn't lag once.
Daniel_Dyke Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Lag is AWFUL on Infinity, but quite good on Farstar.
Darth MarcII Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Depends on the server population. Heavily populated servers at peak have lag. I only get it in the cities, never in the wilderness.
Lord Haine Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I wonder what the lag is going to be like when the JTLS expansion comes out? With all the ships and etc flying around, massive battles in space and stuff.
Jan Gaarni Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Yeah, but you forget one thing: Not as heavy to draw as the ground game. There's no ground, there are no trees, there's barely a sky, and for the most of the time it stands still. There's just empty space, pretty much. So it should lag less for those reasons.
Lord Haine Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 What about the Lag on the ground, will it stay the same or are they going to improve some things in the game to make it lag less?
DragoonLah Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Yeah, starting like 3 days ago on Sunrunner, when I'd go to get a buff or something in MO (Mining Outpost) on Dantooine my fps would drop to 1 and it would be difficult to even type, nevermind navigate. I don't know what the deal is, but for the year I've played it, its never done that.
