Question Regarding Performance - 10/29/2008 8:08:19 PM

Status: offline 		I downloaded an old CC Normandy demo in order to find out whether I like the gameplay or not. The performance on my system was absolutely awful, every click I made had a 3 second lag. Different screen resolutions had no impact on performance. Has this improved? Is it my system?
My system specs: Windows XP Service Pack 3, Pentium 4 3.06 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB ATI Radeon X 1950 GT.
Thanks!

You should have no performance issues.

I wouldn't think that you would have problems. Your system is far superior to mine (6yr old Athlon 2500XP@1.83GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 128MB Radeon 9600), and the only time that I experience lag is when I play H2H vs Andrew and he's gone over his bandwidth limits for the month.

Grrrrrrr!


The CCstarter utility is designed to get older versions of Close Combat functioning on Newer systems.. it's not perfect but give it a go. (This is not required with WaR)

Status: offline 		I've got a system with similar specs and some of the animations in the game have some lag, although not quite three seconds worth. I'm not sure what might be causing it, but I hope to find out soon. I have no problems running any other (and much more demanding) software. Just be aware that there are definitely some issues at this point.

Well, I can confirm it runs smooth on my Quadcore 8200.
