Yeah servers should be possible already if MPUK have it sorted properly, since wednesday. client files password will be announced this evening and everyone can start playing !
hmm well if it ran at full speed all the time
my torrent is doing 470k just now and 8 mins to go, got 160MB so far lol.
Yeah, means that we can all play immediately on friday night
which is cool. also gives everyone a chance to start at the same time on the same level playing field Its a bit over used just now though, hopefully get better download speed tonight
This is the game by the Desert Combat mod team if I remember correctly
looks very good, should be a pc version also?Yeah I would agree!
I dont think everyone here is so fond of MPUK, but I think they do a good job overall.
Have you or wizzy made any enquiries yet hippo?
yeah I saw it was confirmed. should be good I reckon. Turned the shadows from extreme to med and hdr to low and doubled my FPS up to 40fps in space from 20fps or so and hopefully the Core2Duo cpu I am getting to replace my P4 will make a good difference also.
hehe, well we have our map rotation, but theres a big pool of maps on the mpuk server that we can change to using the beetles admin mod which is quite cool.
Been having a browse online at 3d marks ORB section and many Core2Duo people are getting much higher 3d mark scores with those chips and the same card as me.
So looking at around 7500 3d marks with a core2duo cpu at around 2.5ghz or so and ddrII ram. I ran the test again on my current P4 with the card overclocked and got 3750 3d marks and 3700 without being overclocked.
Thats up on my previous score of 3451 before.
Those are the overall scores. Mine gets 1780 in SM2.0 and 2167 SM3.0/HDR the charts on toms hardware show 2035 SM2.0 for the X1950XTX so cpu might help things hopefully.
Read another article on toms hardware with radeon x1950’s agp’s on an old athlon xp (like my p4) and then they compared the same ones with a much newer athlon dual core with ddr II ram and the fps increased by quite a margin as the cpu was not bottlenecking it lol.
I am going to get a Core2Duo E2180 2ghz cpu and 2GB DDR II 5400 ram. should cost around £85 + the £25 for the m/b I am getting off ebay. Lots of people rate this cpu quite highly and its cheap
alternative would be an E4500 which has 2MB caches instead of 1MB.
