This update is gonna be huge. Gargantuan. Massive, Enormous, big.(insert your own adjective here)
I'm wondering what other tidbits are going to come down the pike.
I hope the bug report forum stays quiet after this comes out'
-
Well it will be a big patch in how the game looks, feels and plays.
As far as size is concerned it might not be that big at all.
I have to admit I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for it.
P39, reworked la's, reworked Osti, and wirblewind added, now new ships.
Awesome looking patch so far guys. So turn it loose and see if we can break it. :)

It's not whether they're on dial up or not that matters. The question is: Will it be a hit on CPU performance? Will FPS drop?
If they have a steady latency dial-up, their lag won't increase. That is, of course, unless the new update slows their CPU down to the point it can't send signals to the modem on-time. That's not likely to be the case, though.

I meant waiting for the update to download in the first place.....
remember that old ketchup commercial? anticipation....
-
Ohhhh.... You've got a point.
The poor buggers are screwed! :D
-
Thanks.

2.7kps baby!

The gerbils inside the computer will just have to work harder is all....

hehehe, 1.5MB/sec i avg. I alrdy hit 1.98MB/sec a few times.

i use to have dial up. I would be lucky if i only got discoed twice a day.
-
Played on dial up for 2.5 years. Never a single complaint of lag, or many disco's.

I've got 6mbps, so no worries there...

Same here.:D
I just go to the library in town they have 100kb/sec. Last update took me about eight hours at home. Then when my computer craped out on me and I got a new one I just went to to library and it took about 20mins for the whole game and the high res pack.
Ill be going to the library when the next update comes out.
I hardly ever get discod because of my dialup.

U do not have a 100MB/s, thats your network speed, not your ISP speed. Fastest ISP speed i know of is a 30 meg DL through FIOS (fiber optic) which translate to about 3.2+MB/s give or take a few. U are as fast as your slowest connection.
-
15Mbit here hehe.
As for will it be more demanding?
I really hope so.. drag the dinosaur drivers kicking and screaming into the system upgrade that is long over due.. let the see what they have been missing.

theres only one computer on the network, so shouldnt that be my slowest?

100Mbit is you LAN speed, i.e. the speed at which your computer is connected to your gateway (modem) or to your router..
after that is your actual speed .. which is from your modem out to the net, which you can test at ..

Yeah going to suck for Thndr and I... Phone company keeps saying we'll be getting DSL soon but keep delaying.... Thndr actually wrote an email to them and finally got a reply from the president of the phone company lol. :) Still no specific date as to when we get to come out of the stone age though... :(

Here is the note I got back from our little outfit:
"I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you as well as the delay in
getting DSL service to your area. You are correct that a number of
timelines have been given and missed. We have experienced a number of
unexpected delays. We are still working to deploy DSL in the Owyhee
Jct. area. I am more than reluctant to give you another tentative
timeline until I can give you something very solid. I have your
information on file and we will contact you when the service is
available. Please feel free to contact me for updates. Thank you for
your patients.
