Graphics In New Patch

gratus · 04/29/2007, 01:31

Ok i have heard a ton of people complaining that the new patch lag's or freezes them if they open more than one..

I had this problem also.. but after examining what TQ did with this patch i realized it was also a graphic update.. Go get the newest drivers for your graphics card. I got them and now i can run 6 conquers on my laptop... i was only able to run 4 before * (5 with lag)

Just a word of advice.. Hope it helps

Btw everyone needs to chill... % mins after a patch there are a ton of noobs on the board screaming "OMG TQ PWND US" "NOTHING WORKS"
CHILL THE F**K Out!

Give us a little time we will get everything working again..

Conquer works just fine on my laptop. and graphic update lol? I didnt see much more 3D than what it had before. if some 2D graphics got updated and it dont work on ur crappy coms just buy new ones by selling urs in the local museum

Anyways didnt mean to flame, but every friend I showed conquer. 1st comment was something like "*** the graphics in that game are ****".

Waiting for co to turn full 3D 1 day xD

freddofrog~ · 04/29/2007, 11:16

gfx did change a lil, check out the mil.gisengs and stuff they are different. Um one thing i notice, is that when i scroll to a town or something, i see the names first with shadows then i see people after a second or so. Otherwise fps is pretty steady with 2 co clients. I kinda took apart my pc and cleaned it.. WOW the amount of dust in the fan it was like a wall.. no wonder it was so loud ~_~. All good stuff now, improve pc performance i think.. or just less noisy :P

same lol. also sometimes i see the hair or head-gear of characters on the ground of their coords, wait 1 second before those head-top graphics raise to their proper heights lol.

Lmao so you're a second form of bulker or what? LOL (I think they also did this to passively prevent multi-client, with raised FPS for single clients opened, but really laggy for more than that)

i have the issue where there's weapons /shadows/ and such then it all comes in but it still doesnt lag all that bad..unless in a BIG pk area and having everyone chasing YOU lol

the new patch installed a new video driver on the co servers

names and shadows load faster than bodies

Same problem here. Anyone know if I could delete the cyclone effect or something? Cause hitting Ctrl Alt Del every time it freezes is really annoying.

(Yes, I have Vista)
