Should Groentjuh & Girls upgrade to XR?

[Trigardon]

Trig: is that a graphics thing or is it broken regardless of gfx?

CPU based thing I guess. single core 3 ghz and 1 gb ram doesnt work so well. getting around MAX 10 fps IG which is more than unplayable imho

[BEARD!]

Blimey, those specs, and you still can't play? 

You use linux or windows?

[Trigardon]

windows. dont even try to help me as I nearly tried everything except overclocking (No I won't)

[Ulquiorra]

whats the actul cpu? is it a pent d dual core?

n whats the gfx card :S,

[Trigardon]

cpu = 3ghz SINGLE CORE (1 emulated 1 real)
gfx = nvidia 6600
ram = 1 gb

[BEARD!]

An emulated core? What's one of them? :S

[Ulquiorra]

A emulated core isnot a real corse as to say

What it does (sorry if u dotn get this) is take 2 prgram threads and instead of processing only 1 of them it swaps betwean the 2 threads very quickly therefore making at appear as is both are being processed at the same time giving the impresionof 2 proccessing cores

And it could eb a bottle neck in the gfx card then =/it is possibelt o overclock them safley (much safer than cpus) but i never noticed any fiff with my 8600gt, have you tired tweaking the contol pannel trig?

We've not had chance to speak to JmZ about putting the latest version of XR on the leet server but in a previous conversation with him he stated that he didn't want the leet server to be used to test XR. The server will most likely not have xr maps on it so will not kick non-XR clients such as SFE.

As has already been stated you can play with SFE clients on XR are servers. XR servers do not affect what textures SFE uses, if your personal preference is for the fugly textures in SFE use the SFE client.

We solved ALL the bugs that were causing those crashes, it is just a matter of regaining people's attention now.

Maybe it's worth putting this on the front page of Newerth - not nestled in among the RC2 thing, but as its own item.

A news post will be created that will announce when the server is publicly available with this sort of information.

It's mainly the pmining-until-pred- and insta-respawn-bullshit that has got implemented as recommended server setting into XR. Can we please have a equally valued server setting that tells the server admins how Savage was supposed to be played before the EvO Community Servers went up some years ago?

The XR server is setup to play as SFE* does out of the box with the low XP and high respawn times. Server admins can ofc change this, if they wish for more newbie friendly settings, such as those on EvO's, they can use the templates provided.

There seems to be a lot of miss conceived ideas of what the change to using the XR server will mean. Our bad for not managing the expectations of the community better... live and learn

1. Ulquiorra stop posting utter nonsense
2. @Trig: Savage runs on my 7 year old graphic card, so I wonder how you can't get it running on such new hardware, maybe try uninstalling all the malware that you downloaded on your pc? lol.
3. Change all servers to XR. Also stop adding new features to XR until the bug count in the bugtracker has reached 0!

I tried XR vs SFE* on my oldest PC (AMD Athlon 2400XP, 1GB Ram, Windows XP, ATI 9250 graphics). It actually ran slightly quicker on XR. Was about 35 FPS on SFE* and 38 FPS on XR - this connected to an XR server.

Not a scientific test by any means, settings was on low.

[Trigardon]

have you tired tweaking the contol pannel trig?

not yet I shall try that

@darkness, no malware et cetera and my PC is nearly as old as yours (5 years now I think ). Also I'm only having that low fps with XR I can't help it

wtf u mean utter nonsense ¬_¬

my oppoin posted for first post here, so yeh cnt be that one

second one asking y somone just said no, even tho in the first post it states not just to say yes or no with a reason, and the thing about ex2 ill take a screeni in the same place as mohican took his if you want, the textures are horribley bright

third one beard asked what a emulated core was, which is what i said

i know my typing is off sometimes so

@darkness stop being a ass

[Tjens]

things sure get heat up during the summer in here

[WinterFresh]

-I encounter small lag spikes on the XR server.
-Also some people hate it when it drops your fps by 20 when you keep pressing TAB.
-The squad system is annoying and there should be a button where you can disable it once and for all.

None of these problems happen on other servers.

Well, to be fair, silverback has to put on top of the map a whole load of data and (cause the scores screen is semi-transparent) work out what colour each pixel will be. It's gonna take some processing power to do that and update the map/viewport at the same time. And I'm fairly sure that the FPS drop isn't XR-server exclusive, but I'd have to check that out.
