Question about PoE2..

**SuperDudeBT** · 09-04-2006, 06:05 PM

Spec-wise, is it as or more intensive than vanilla? Because, I'm to the point that my laptop can barely play regular BF2. I've started back playing, but I see that everyone has moved on to this new mod. So, do u think that I have any chance of getting a good game out of PoE2?

Thanks.

My understand is that it requires a bit more resources than vanilla.

I think it does to, it certainly takes longer to load the maps than vanilla.

Hmmm. My frames are up by 10FPS in PoE2. The more I play, the more I am convinced the guys who made this mod know how to model a mod better than the guys at DICE. Everything looks better in PoE2 and I seem to be able to run it faster too.

Its a bit more intensive, at least for me. Generally as soon as i spawn in on a map i just loaded, i lockup for 30 seconds before i can do anything. Then for the next 2-3 minutes i lock up now and then for seconds at a time. The rest of the round is pretty smooth though.

^^^Does that happen in vannilla too? cuz if it does....RAM is your friend

It does, but not as much. And while RAM may be my friend, money is not.

What frequency do you run in your rig Santa? I have some sticks of a variety of frequencies lying around. I might be able to help you out. Let me know

You guys can be best friends. How far away is Glendale from Gilbert?

It's about 45mins away with no traffic delays. Santa is on the Far east side and I am on the west side

Yea, actually my rig does run out of RAM and do the HD swap dance. This never happened in vanilla. It only happens after I've already played at least 2 maps though. It's not bad and usually goes away after about 30 seconds. Still, makes me wonder if there is a memory leak somewhere.

I have no idea what frequency i have. My brother is all into that kind of stuff and said that if i added a third stick, it would mess up the other 2 sticks in some way. Everything he said kind of went completely over my head. Im *hopefully* getting a new computer come december/january though.

yea your sticks are running in dual channel mode which is faster. Adding a third won't pull those two out of dual channel but the access times on it won't be as fast. Theoretically.
