Patch 1 on a Low end machine
« on: October 20, 2003, 09:50:44 PM »
I thought I would give this a whirl on my back up machine.    It works fine for the Current version.

Its an Emachine
600 mhz  Celeron
128 RAM
Crystal 4281 onboard sound
PCI  G4 MX440 Vid Card   64mb

With the Test settings,  I could get to the tower and sit there,  The mouse was pretty jerky.  

Frame Rate 0   52mb memory used.  

Thats really about all I could do,  I tried to fly, but I got a Frame about every 20 seconds.

Then I cranked it back to 800x600,  16bit color,  Disable the textures,  45 max frames and tried again.

Now I got 13 frames in the tower, same memory used.  

I went to the runway,  and I got 8-10 frame low over the airfeild.   33 Frames looking straight up.    General Cruising around I was getting 16-20 Fps.   I got some pretty healthy hickups (pauses)  but I could line up and kill drones!  :)

OK,  Thats nothing to Brag about,  But It did Run on a very low end machine.   I think thats encouraging.  

Skuzzy,  I know that not the info your after today,  But I thought it might be interesting none the less.
