Now that I have your attention,    if any of you wish to complain, or applaud performance, tell us what you are running on.

Any post that complains about performance, but fails to state the operating system,  hardware and connection, should just be deleted from the board.    There is absolutely no context to place these complaints in.

First: Be aware there appears an issue with the 8800 GTS.   This will likely be resolved with a Nividia patch, or by Funcom, but a huge number of the complaints, are coming from those with this particuar card.

I run the game flawlessly, yes, flawlessly at medium settings, at 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Windows XP SP2
AMD 4800+ Dual Core
2 Gigs Corsair Ram
Raptor WD 10krpm Hard Drive
Sound Blaster X-FI Card
Comcast Cable - Bay Area, CA

I am actually in the process of significantly upgrading, but this system is two years old, and the game runs superb on it.

SCIENCE PROVES CAPS LOCK CAN CURE CANCER.

I have not gotten a chance to play yet, but I'd like to take the opportunity to ask in this thread about my computer as well...

...I made a post about the comp I was going to use yesterday but I didn't get every question answered...

Will my computer be able to play with this video card at decent settings, assuming the rest of the components are top-notch:

ATI Radeon HD 3200

I'm playing on a 2.8Ghz Pen4 (Win XP), 2g RAM, 7800 GeForce Video Card, X-FI Extreme Audio and a 6mb Internet connection. I ended up playing on low settings with a few tweaks.

It seems to run well with two S3 Chrome 430GT's (multichrome mode) I would like to see how S27's do

Celebrating my tenth year of online gaming...gawd I need a life...=P

I can run the game on high/custom settings n about 65fps. As for all those dx9/dx10 difference pics that were posted a while back...I think they are bs...the game looks great on DX9, looks very close to the screens of DX10 pics I have seen.

that's what I find funny, because I have the same processor, but I just have half the ram, and a middling video card (well above their humorous minimum requirements), but I usually wind up locking up within about 10 to 20 minutes of starting up the game client. I suspect it's my ati card, but who knows (it's a 3870hd).

I applaud performance!

I thought for sure the first time I ran it I couldn't play it, but nope, turning it to high settings actually made it perform better. I get around 20 FPS.

Old computer. 3 or 4 years old. 6800GT, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB ram, Asus deluxe motherboard.

This sounds a lot like Vanguard to me. Rabid fanboys saying "Its just lagging cause your PC sucks!" In both cases, AoC and VG, some low end machines would run it fine, high end machines would die.
