Low end computers...My rant.
« on: February 17, 2009, 02:33:10 PM »
I have been hearing about low end systems for 3 years now....... I have a hard time believing that you guys cant get some money together in 3 years to upgrade your computers.

2 dollars aday and you can build a brand new top end system...far less if your computer is upgradable....

Do we really have to listen to why HTC cant do this to "me" and cant do that to "me" because you wont upgrade your computer.

You are willing to complain about your situation for 3 freaking years  that i know of but not willing to do a dang thing about it...

EVery time some kid gets one here and says he does not have the money for a subscribstion they get blasted about mowing yards or washing windows.....

I thought I was alone on thoughts like this. My system is awsome but held back by the low end computer owner as far as this game goes.

My system is barely up to par with most modern games and I can play this at full settings at 60FPS... even I'm held back.

Not all players use their computers only for games. For some of us games is actually not the main reason for owning a computer.

AH is the only game i play, and i wont buy a new laptop just for a game. Has nothing to do with lack of money, but everything to do with common sense. As long as my lappy's keeps up with my everyday tasks and works ill keep it. If it also runs my one and favorite game im happy.

I was away from the game for a year or so because AH2 came out and a game will not dictate when i buy a new laptop. Easy as that.

So alow me to see if I understand what you are looking for here.

You want me to take money away from my family to save for a new computer so that you can get more eye candy. I need to run home and tell my wife and daughter that my priorities have been wrong all this time. Thanks for helping with this issue, I have now seen the light.  

Seriously though. you are about to get more eye candy BTW and they are going to make the game just as accessible to those with lower end systems too. WOW what a novel idea.

I have never heard seen someone get on here and whine about HT making the system requirements too high. What I do remember seeing many times is some who remind others that HT tries very hard to make the game playable to the most amount of people this includes those with low end systems. More people that can play equals more people who pay to play, good business on their part.

Even when HT put up the pics of the new terrain the posters with low end systems simply said that if the new terrain causes a further hit to their system they will need to stop playing because right now it is not a good time for them to be spending money to upgrade. I never saw a single one complain or whine about it.

Not trying to be rude here, just trying to get across that many of us have priorities in other areas and many of those that state anything having to do with this subject have simply stated their position and not one time did I read a negative comment from anyone who uses a out dated or weak computer

Why get hung up on eye candy?  I'd prefer that we get new aircraft instead of this terrain/water update.

Im unable to buy a new computer and I've been tryin for several years. I understand how you feel but ur soundin a bit selfish.  I currently have the worst system in the aces high community so im quite happy that htc is still catering to us as well. If I could afford a new cpu I would be greatly appreciative but I can't so I have to suck up my system and play.

Check your out of game video settings. Mainly "Anti-Aliasing" and Anisitropic Filtering". Those two do some damage to your frame rates when set up high. I usually just turn those off when playing AH but clicking "Use application settings".
