Spechtmeise -> Question Regarding Performance (10/29/2008 8:08:19 PM)

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!

It's very snappy for me on a similar test system, no lag. However, I don't know what else you may have running or how your system is configured, I can only say that if you do see 3 second lag with CCWAR, it will not be caused by the game itself.



Andrew Williams -> RE: Question Regarding Performance (10/29/2008 8:38:03 PM)

The new release of Wacht am Rhein has been tailored to new systems... one of the reasons for the release.

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)

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.



Spechtmeise -> RE: Question Regarding Performance (10/29/2008 10:45:56 PM)

OK, compatibility mode is the key here. Set it to Windows 98 compatibility, and presto...I assume this won't be necessary with CCWaR

Well, I can confirm it runs smooth on my Quadcore 8200. [:D]
