well I got an Intel 1.4ghz cpu, 256mb of rambus memory, GF2mx, XP professional, and a 56.6 modem.....which connects only at 26.4 cuz of the local phone line....DOH I seriously doubt I could even do 1on1 let alone inflict 16 players on my teeny tiny pipe :o

 

however.....if the game can run on my work computer..now that's a different story hehehe ;) love pings in the teens :eek:

Depends if you mean online or offline. Online even people with cable connections or ADSL could only hold 4 max with pings of around the 100's , no matter the speed of the machine. It all depends on the connection of the person hosting the game.

 

Offline then i think most people machines can hold 16 or more. As long as you have a decent processor and Graphics crad then u'll be able to hold 16+.

I also have a floppy drive!

 

I believe it's accurate to say that the number of players one computer can "hold" is more dependant on their 'net connection, since (assuming of course you meet the minimum system requirements to run the game in the first place) you can scale down the graphics/resolution, etc to increase performance.

 

It might not look pretty, but I figure most people could hold 16 characters (whether bots or humans), but somebody with a crappy connection isn't going to have much luck hosting a 16 character game where those are all HUMAN players connecting...

 

My broadband connection should be sufficient, both for hosting and joining such games, however... assuming the server is relatively low lag that is.

Well I usually play MOH on servers with 20-32 players. So i'm sure I can do 16 in JKO. I just hope I can do it with all the graphical settings maxed. With MOH I have everything set to it's highest detail except the shadows.

 

The Omaha Beach level in MOH with around 30 players or so runs terrible. I push like 15-20fps when looking down on the beach (or up to the base)... and that makes me worry that JKO won't run so well with it's graphic settings up. I've read so many things about how they use 1024x1024 textures for characters and all, I dunno what they use in MOH, but i'm sure it's not that high.

 

I remember one of the devs saying "It runs like a dream", I wonder what his system specs were...

Ok, you have to look for your upload speed first. I'm connected on a DSL but my max upload speed if 16 k/sec. So if you have a DSL, you better check that out !

I'll play a lot in multiplayer game but there is one thing I do hate, I mean really really hate, and it's lag.

 

For the sake of the game, those who have a 56k, don't go in games with the title "No lag!"

 

:dsaber:

 

Friendly yours, Darth Ergotht
