Beta Release....

[Strip]

I paid 109 for a BFG 9800 GT....runs 50fps with every thing up and AA at 16X.

Dont tell the computer guys I am running it on a 300 watts PSU tho.

For me because I don't want to fry my computer

Nope lol I am too. I uninstalled the beta 2 days after trying it, if the FR is as bad as it was before im gone.

nope, i'm in the same boat.

guess i'll see if i can get the settings low enough for me to see something other than a slideshow 

FPS on ancient computers is usually better with people who have tried the beta in it's most recent incarnations, it should be the same in 2.14.

Good lord why?

I think Lusche is talking about how long it takes to reload after minimizing now.

Caught.

<--- Waiting for the "Fried my computer" thread in the HW & SW Forums.

Minimizing the game to you desktop and then re-maximizing it, yeah. Takes a bit to reload still.

Yikes I do that all the time (actually rolling my jug on auto climb as we I type this.)

OMG!!!! Well we won't tell the "geeks" what your doing. But I get a very bad feeling your gonna regret it sooner than later. If I may, a 650 watt PSU isn't that expensive, and in the long run wiser. Unless of course you would prefer just to be able to read the boards only, from say, the public library. Wish you luck.

I'm surprised more people havent been in beta tweaking or at least running through the motions.

I guess late war orange is where all the cool people hang out   

Maybe its just me and the times i've been in there.   But this WILL be released soon and everyone is going to be *face palm my FR's suck   .

With all eye candy off it seems smoother than the current version.  I'm debating whether to fly with shadows on or off.  They are still the biggest FR killer for me.

It usually isn't old hardware. My 5 year old computer runs it like a dream. Nine times out of ten it's what's running along with AH; iTunes, Java/QuickTime/Office/Adobe Updaters, Zune software, spyware and malware, Norton or McAfee (shudder), every background service known to man even though they don't even apply to the computer's function...

hopes takes longer

Even in the beta I don't have a real issue with tabbing, I do it all the time to check IMs, change music(yes thats why I never hear anyone on mic), or whatever. It takes a bit longer, and you get some pretty weird stuff but who's tabbing in the middle of a fur-ball that they need to be alert within 3 seconds?

I am doing it all the time. That's actually one of the reasons I don't use any vox, too

How about you buy yourself a new GFX card there Tex.
