As a beta tester of PlanetSide I can tell/warn you that it uses about 925M of RAM...so if you don't have at least a gig of RAM, you are going to get lag since you will constantly be swapping to/from virtual memory. Hopefully the beta is compiled with lots of debug code and the memory usage for the final version will go down.

*shrug*. When Crimson had 512M of ram, the game was slow and laggy. Turned out it was using more memory than she had. Now that she has a gig, it uses about 256M of RAM when you first spawn, but once you walk out into an area where there are vehicles etc, you can alt-tab and check and it will be using 900M+. It's not just me others have checked and gotten the same numbers.

Maybe turning all the graphics details down to minimum makes it use less RAM, I havn't tried that.

While its true that the game never ends (as with all MMO games), don't forget that this is a Beta, and surely (hopefully) it has lots of debug code in it and the final version wont be so resource-hungry. Also it may be the case that turning down your graphics settings reduces the amount of resources required.

For me the major showstopper is paying a monthly fee to play it. Which I am unwilling to do unless the game is simply stunning, amazing, and action packed. PlanetSide is definitely impressive on many levels, but to be honest I have more fun and action playing games like Renegade, UT, etc that I don't have to continuously pay for Smile

I know there were like 12000 or something and more getting put in soon (or so i heard a while ago) but being one of them IMOA is a achivement Smile

It looks amazing but for a month fee is it going to be a huge hit?? i'm not so sure on this.....

But more than 1 person can install it using that key it's just 1 person playing at a time.

If someone else were to go on at the same time it'll probably fuck up.

But oh well, it's worth a try...

1.7ghz, 512 ddr ram gf4 mx440 no lag with 1700people in the server, you do not need 512, and mine gets better as they fix the bugs. The game is not a rip off, not unless you hate the game style. Like c4miner has said: if you cant afford 33� a day then your pretty sad

The only reason the engine looks better is because the clipping plane (your visiblility range) is greater than 300 meters away. That may be the main limiter on Renegade's engine. Too bad they didn't set it to a modifiable variable in Level Edit.

I have an Athlon XP 2400+, 1024 MB of PC2700 DDR RAM and a GF4 Ti 4800SE video card (thanks Blazer, I love you!) on maximum details, and that's how much RAM it uses on mine.

money adds up...most people dont want to have a buy a game repeatedly every month. Once we buy it...that should be it...I personally would rather stick with Renegade and not have to pay to play it
