    Update your graphics drivers, and all of your problems will be solved.

    Unless of course you have a computer that doesn't meet the specs.

    Ok, you represent the type of poster that got me banned before for speaking of my problems in WAR. Look, finally has like more than 30 posters come forth telling about all the performance Bullshit they have to put up with in WAR and all you can say  is that our rigs are outdated and graphics drivers screwed. Take a break. These issues need to be talked about!

    You don't understand, you update your graphics drivers through Microsoft Update.

    This has nothing to do with having an outdated "rig."

     You should try it, it solved my lag problems 110%.

    Relying on Microsoft Update for the latest graphics drivers, now you really are talking about lag, LOL.

    You are correct though, it has nothing to do with having an outdated rig & apart from people that don't know how to keep their system software up to date, it has nothing to do with that either.

    It is very common in recently launched games for performance issues to be a bit of a hardware lottery.

    The reasons for this are fairly obvious as developers rarely have enough time before launch to allow for all combinations. Mythic even acknowledge this in the text accompanying several user settings. e.g.

    "Use this slider to match the memory of your graphics card, but if it doesn't work use the default setting"

    "Use this button to enable graphics texture optimisation, but if it doesn't work turn it off"

    Neither of the above instructions sound very confident & if the only issues were with outdated drivers then why have Mythic acknowledged the problem & promised a 'Mythical Performance Patch' in December?

    If your computer improved after just running Microsoft Update then I am very happy for you, but since most of us run it several times a week,  it isn't exactly a helpful suggestion.

    It's a bit like someone with 20/20 vision telling people that need glasses to eat more carrots. 

    It is only a suggestion and it would help someone who needs to update their drivers.

    Perhaps he run it on a regular basis and perhaps he does not, I might as well say something anyway.

    I'm not the only one who had that problem and fixed it in that way, I can assure you of that.

• • The Current Campaign

  • Just a few questions I need answered, I've taken a few months off from the game.

    Could anyone currently playing give me an estimate of when they think the current flip-flop campaign nonsense will be over? I'm planning on resubbing when things get put back where they should be.

    Also, I have played exlusively on the Axis side in the past. What side is the underdog at the moment? I've never been one to fight for the British or French, but I may think about joining the limeys if they need help.

• • Is anyone working on a sandbox (swg style) mmo? - long post

  • I wish someone would create a quality Star Wars sandbox.

    Hell, I would even go for an MMOFPS centered around the Clone Wars (not the animated bullshit). Something like Planetside, but on a much larger and more in-depth scale.

    Speaking on that...how are you liking the new classes brought into the game?  Or have they gotten there yet?

    
     

    The Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Blackguard are being introduced in December.

    They said they would be introduced a month or so after release, and there you have them.
