Title: WAR Minimum Spec (memory)
Post by: cessuin on September 24, 2008, 06:32:55 PM: Posting this in case anyone (or anyone who joins) has the same problems i have had with lag ... the minimum spec on the box is a lie :P

I had 1G of ram, and I got constant lag and RvR was unplayable, even with all the gfx turned down. Now I have 3G and its fine (but I know 2G would do the trick as well). I know they are trying to improve the memory footprint (cos it sucks) but right now this is how it is.

This is on XP btw, not sure whether the 2G minimum spec on Vista is too low as well.

Thanks for the heads up!

More likely to do with bandwidth handling all those players in one spot as much as the system. I even turned temporarily to fastest setting instead of balanced in the settings while there but did very little.

This is probably all our cases really. Playing EVE teaches me that a good machine + good connection can still get screwed by serverside limitations and EVEs fights are 3 or 4 times larger on average...
