Title: Been a HOT mimute
Post by: Cremator on February 16, 2023, 05:28:08 PM
It’s been 10 years since I’ve been away. I said then that some day I would make a return. It’s time. Anything worth CREMATING anymore?  How’s the game play and numbers anymore?  Cheers and <S> to everyone.

Was curious if someone could point me towards the right gaming PC to keep up with the current configuration. I’m pretty slow when it comes to technology.

Welcome back!

You dont need much of a computer to run the game any more. An $800 computer with a video card or a decent laptop will run it well. If your going to run VR.... if you can you should its AWESOME!...... you might need a bit more of a computer.

Week nights 100-125, weekends 125-150 players in the arenas. It has been picking up a bit lately so thats fun. We just got two new maps this week so that always spices things up.

That’s awesome to hear that the numbers are steady. Was playing back from 05 until 2011. Got on again in maybe 2018 and my computer lagged horribly so I gave up again. I’m shopping for a good unit.

I used to build my own gaming PCs. But got too busy with work and time chewed by other things,....
I just bought a custom Dell XPS 8950, with...
12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700K,
16.0GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti video card.
Advanced cooling system (not liquid)
$1,700.

My x52 stick, even with powered USB hub, not making me very happy. I think it's a bit porked from storage.

if I was running just AH, it's a bit over-kill.
Running the game from a SSD drive. The game runs like melted butter with all detail at 100% and video card enhancement settings a bit jacked up.

I ordered an Alienware. It had good reviews. It’ll beat what I had 15 years ago, I hope.
