Glad you got my life story pinned down furball.  What type of video card do I need to buy?

And btw, what does my age have to do with anything?  That same comment made by people gets old after awhile, and it has no effect on me, I am just curious what drives you to bring it up?

Well this sucks, going to have to upgrade for little increase in gameplay like this?  While sittin in tower of AH2, looks exactly the same as AH1, just more dull.  And I get to spend 100$ for it.  Yippie :D

3 posts ... 17 minutes. Have you ever considered using the "edit" button? It's not a critical thing but it does keep you from looking like you're spamming your own thread to death. ;)

Anyhow ... I'm kinda sorta in the same situation you are. You probably need to at least double your RAM and get a better vid card - probably a 9600 pro or better.

Good luck.

i was commenting on you being 12, pretending you (Lazer) are really dlamb. Thats why i said: -

"you forgot to mention that you are a 12 year old nerd with a mummy and daddy that should keep their credit card number well hidden"

I wasnt cussing you, i was cussing him, i have no idea how old u are.

As you have just downloaded it now, you won't have carried out all the tests and made changes that those of us who downloaded it at the onset did.  My framerates were also very low at first, but are now comparable to AH1 after going through all the tests.  

If you go to the Announcements forum and set it to show posts from the last 100 days, it will show all the AH2 beta posts.  If you go through them all, starting with the earliest, and carry out all the tests and make any changes suggested, you might find you can improve your framerate substantially.  Worth a try.  :)
