Age of Conan

So funny too see posters with 1 post in total agree with Op, alts anyone?

Anyway Op mentioned that he had antivirus running and that shouldn´t affect the performance at all...

Heh, we had raidwipes in WoW because someones antivirus kicked in and they lagged out. Surely that means WoW is a failure and destined to fail? 

Anyway I could care less about Age of Conan since it is yet another Fantasy mmorpg. However seeing people throwing dung and posts with alts to make AoC looks bad like if it was a USA presidential campaign is kinda funny. Relax! AoC has its niche and it will not threat your chosen mmorpg. So there is no need for this shit-throwing.

I think we will see much more of this "politics" when Warhammer approaches since it is more of a direct competion to WoW.  And when all those millions fanbois starts to post it will really look ugly.

I use an E6600 oc'd to 3Ghz with ZERO issues...(besides 2 other systems all 3 Ghz...and all ran perfectly fine)

Now - This is a blatant lie.  One that is not hard to proof.  So plz before you talk such crap then take a sec to get your facts straight

Go to http://www.ageofconan.com/order_UK.html or any other official pre-order site

Read the minimum and recomended spec.  And note this is OFFICIAL from the makers.  Its NOT something you made up.

Minimum System requirements

• OS: Windows XP / Windows Vista
• GFX: Shader 2.0 and 128MB ram, GeForce 6600
• RAM: 1GB
• CPU: 3 GHz, Pentium 4
• Resolution: 1024x768

Recommended Specs:

• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz or better
• GFX: nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX  or higher
• RAM: 2 GB

Players are buying this game from offical sites with these info.  Now... if the game does't run on Windows Vista with just 2 gb ram - then dont blame my PC for it.  Blame the company that is selling the game in pre-order without mentioning that "small" detail.

why not use the dual core arguement?  the minimum specs that state 3.0ghz is for 1 cpu.  have 2 cpus running at 2.4 is well above minimum specs.   forinstance i have 4 cpus running at 2.67ghz and when i run the "can i run it" program on nvidia's site for AOC it states it is above recommended specs not below.

 

 

Having more than one core means quite alot especially if the program is programmed for multithreading which AOC is,  so while he may have a cpu clocked at 2.4 he has two of them so AOC it self will utilize his second core for different threads, effectively you have 2 cpu's daisy chained sharing the load. The same goes for quad cores and yes AOC does take advantage of all 4 cores as they were all used for me during OB.

It also is of note that spewing doom and gloom BEFORE release is so wrong...really...he needs to get a grip is all.

And the fact dual cores will be working in release, it will be doubly delicious (yep...)

So, instead...take a moment, go get someone who knows about computers to come look at yours, as it has an issue...and needs to be fixed before release...

And like I said...come AFTER release...then doom and gloom us...k?

I agree with the first post. I tried the beta and found the very long zoning times and crashes very upsetting. i know its a beta but somehow with release coming very soon i thought the game would run a lot better than it does. I am playing the Warhammer beta and it is a lot more polished. My system prolly isnt that good i guess so maybe thats the problem but I play eq2 most of the time on extreme quality except in town or a dungeon. E6400 running 3.2 ghz on a gigabyte ds-3 965 board, 2 gigs buffalo Firestix, and 8800 gts . I tried tweaking and turned off bloom and played on low medium and high settings and it ran better on high than low for me. Isnt a beta a test to find out what works and what doesnt in the game? So if you find a situation where a problem might exist wouldnt it be the thing to do to let others know about it? i am not flaming the game or endorsing it and maybe the release will be better.

OP, plz dont ignore the proofpost of that AoC blog and post your response to it. id love to hear your comments on it. i wont believe u till u post something that confirms your "facts"

 The truth will be out in few days and we will exactly see what ppl like you are all about. 

 

Exactly.  The truth will be out in a few days, so why waste time arguing about whether or not a game is good on forums?   Let's all just put our crystal balls down and wait and see.

 

 

Thats exactly the point.  My post is in no way claiming the game is good or bad.  Im claiming its not performing on a computer that should be running it - Not on minimum - but on better than whats recommended.  Rest doesn't matter.   And its not just me.   

 

The point is that players that now are tempted from all directions about pre-ordering the game are not told the whole story.  Thats why Im posting this here.  It has nothing to do with fanboys or doomsayers.  It has to do with the fact that ppl should not buy this game until they are guarantied to be able to run it.  Or at least know there is quite a high chance the game wont run - even if they are running a PC that is above what is requmented.

No the point is that something is causing the problem. I have an AMD Athlon 4000+ running at 2.4ghz, with 2 gigs RAM, Windows XP and a Geforce 9600GT. I ran the game on medium after the big patch and was getting 30ish fps. I was getting double that in cities. I crashed once total. If I can run the game, you should be able too.

What this means is there is something in certain setups that is causing performance problems. That is part of beta and it is random.

 

For example, years ago, I had a friend build me a computer. I cannot remember the specs but it was an A-Open MB, ATI card and an AMD processor. The computer ran games great except for DAOC. It would not run it. After playing for 5-10 minutes, it would freeze and lockup. It happened over and over. Now here is the important part and PAY ATTENTION:

Instead of going to forums and posting about the game and bitching about the game and the development company, I contacted Mythic and talked to them about it. We e-mailed and worked for days and come to find out there was something between my MB+video card+DAOC that didn't work. Period - it just didn't. They recommended grabbing an Nvidia card so I did, installed it and never had another problem.

The point is that there is something in your set-up and other people's setups that is random and is causing problems. Its something to do with the way the parts all inter-relate. It could be between Vista and the game, your card and the game, your MB and the game. Who knows?!?! It is random and it is going to take time to figure out.

That is the point of beta! And had you worked with Funcom and the developers and contacted them in-game and repeatedly sought help instead of coming here and making thread after thread and complaining, then maybe you could have solved the problem for yourself and others. And even if you did contact them and work with them, I doubt you spent as much time troubleshooting as you did posting here.

If you want to know why games launch today with poor performance and problems....just look at this example and how beta testers and today no longer testers, just beta tryers.

And about anivirus programs since some ppl can't read posts here.  I have used Micro trend for past 3 years but I stoped the sub cause AOC didn't support it.  And I dont like to leave my PC unprotected for long times.   I have however run the game with fresh system and no antivirus programs with exactly same results.   So Im sorry to dissapoint you - but its not that.

OFC its something that is causing these problems.  Not all are having those but some are.  Now - I have repeatedly sent info about this like many others to Funcom. Alot of my suggestions reguarding the gameplay and features have been implemented.  But it all comes down to nothing if the game can't run with resonably guaranty cuase of performance issues.

Now you are just spinning this thread to be the exact same as all of your others.  You are ignoring the facts that people are posting to prove you are blatantly lying and instead you are just spinning off on what you don't like, or how the game hurt your feelings.  You have always been a troll and this is how you have always been on these forums across multiple games.  If you want to post false facts about AoC then apologize when they are exposed as lies.  Don't revert to posting the same garbage you have in all of your other posts.  Including the ones that have been deleted.
