The lag ingame isnt all that bad, and i really havent noticed much save for a few spikes here and there. Whats bad is the game seems to not like certain combinations of hardware. Specifically Nvidia cards and drivers. My rig is pretty close to the specs of a friends rig who also plays FE. on my PC i can play at 1920x1200 everything maxed (sans shadows cause they look like ass and forcing 8xAA and 16xAF through the card itself) and can get over 70fps outside/40+fps in towns such as embry/Post 23 at primetime. Meanwhile on my friends end he gets horrible stuttering/lag and has to run at lower settings. Hes running a GTX280 while im running a GTX260maxcore55 (both by BFG) every other game runs fine for him, just FE doesnt like his setup for some reason. So yeah, its not your PC, its just FE doesnt seem to like your PC for god knows what reason. Hopefully they get this sort of thing sorted out because it is kinda annoying for those who have the issue. There are 3 types of people in the world.

First of all, it it really lag, or is it low FPS? The game runs worse on XP than on Vista I heard, and it actually runs best on Win7 (it is sure flawless on mine). You only have 2GB ram which is the bare minimum, so it'd be a good idea to check what other programs are running in the background while you play. I'm guessing you have a stutter (FPS drops), and not a lag, most probably because of HD swapping all the time. DB Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is. |

I am sorry, but today 2GB of RAM is just not enough. I also have a AMD Dual Core CPU. Have an older graphics card (GeForce9800GTX 512MB). But have 4GB of RAM and run Windows7 Ultimate. The game runs flawlessly for me. I upgraded my PC to 4GB of RAM about 2 years ago, since a lot of games since then easily use more then 1-2GB of RAM these days. Try run AoC, WAR, LOTRO or EQ2 today with just 2GB of RAM. You will have to put the graphics settings all the way to minimum to play these games somewhat lagfree. The moment you push the graphic settings in any of these games, then 2GB of RAM will simply not cut it anymore. That's why I upgraded to 4GB of RAM and shifted to 64bit OS (otherwise you cannot make use of the 4GB). People need to understand, that simply buying an expensive Graphics Card isn't enough to immediately run everything flawlessly and at max settings!! It's the whole package that counts! Meaning also your CPU, amount of RAM, Harddrive and optimised Operating System. Hence, with an Online Game, even your Internet Connection is very important. All those things factor in how well a game will run on your PC. Cheers |

really? suddenly 2gbs of ram isnt enough? i can run every other game flawlessly, but FE is so uber i need more? i just finished batman arkham asylum and that wasnt an issue (max graphics) picked up borderlands, maxed out with aa and af, no problem Fallout 3...again no issues with everything maxed oblivion...yup...maxed out with hi texture mods. hell eq2 i can run on high (not extreme), aoc max, eve maxed, i could go on and on....
and if FE requires more than 2gbs of ram for recommended, then the bloody devs are idiots and should have written the right specs. and its lag, cause if i walk into an area, npcs will suddenly warp in front of me, or it takes a few seconds for the loot function to work, or if i kill a wolf of another npc, it will still run around a few seconds with no health and suddenly die. I am playing from NYC area, and my connection is pretty darn fast, this is the ONLY game which lags, and i have tried graphical settings from high to low.

I agree, I upgraded my PC last year, in the apst two weeks I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64bit Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) I upgraded just to get Vanguard to run on my PC http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Norsefire-logo.png |

Originally posted by miagisan First of all, it is important to differentiate between low FPS and lag. People regularly confuse these. Your issue described in the last paragraph pretty much says that it's really actually lag, so it might not be eventually an issue with FPS only. This kind of lag that you describe was an issue for about 2 days since I joined FE, both Sundays, and both were followed by server patching. You might have been unlucky and experienced those maybe? If you still keep having these rubberbanding issues, it must be an ISP problem, since many of us don't have these anymore. I play from Europe, and the only time when i experienced slower than prompt responsiveness from quest givers was when I actually forgot to close my torrent application. Just a hint :D DB Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is. |

Set their ingame settings all to MAX and see how those games are holding up for you. As all these three clients use over 1 to 1,5 GB of RAM easily. LOTRO and EQ2 client even pushed the 2GB RAM usage barrier from time to time on my PC. Especially when running at Max Quaility Textures. Add to the fact, that even WindowsXP SP3 eats up almost 1GB of RAM alone already and you already see you getting short on RAM. Single player games you can NEVER EVER compare to MMO's! So get a grip! Recommended specs still doesn't mean you can run everything at MAX! Except WoW with it's craptastic cartoon graphics, no other MMO you can run at full MAX settings with recommended specs on the box. So please. Get a clue. About what Minimum and Recommended specs actually mean! Cheers |

Game is unplayable with due to lag. And i am above and beyond the RECOMMENDED requirements
you have an amd 2.6 and MINIMUM is 2.4, know your computer... you barely reach MINIMUM requirements btw, why such a new graphics card which such an old cpu?

I have pretty much maxed everything in the game, except kept the view distance sliders of objects, scrubs and such on the default 80%. Need to say more? I rest my case. |

That is what you added to his post and what I quoted on with the AMD CPU thing. ;) The rest was addressed to him. No worries though :) |

I think I understand you now hehe I think you assumed that I meant his problem with lag/fps was the cpu :) You are right too though, it is prolly the ram What I found curious though is that the system requirments are intel duo 1.8 or amd duo 2.4 which is quite a difference even more if you consider that amd normally runs just as fast with a bit lower mhz. Although I think the newer cpu's are the other way around with performance/mhz. |

And? only because it runs great for you doesn't mean its the same for everyone else. In majority of cases the problem is on user end and not the MMO itself. |

Originally posted by Shastra Well, I'm running FE on a pretty mediocre computer on max settings and view distances with no shadows. I have yet to lag, and the only time my fps goes down is in big cities, and even then its barely enough to notice... sounds like a user end issue to me as well. So far FE runs MUCH better than most mmos on my computer. |

2.3ghz quad core, 8gigs ddr2 ram, gtx260....game runs fine on max setting, with the expected busy town lag, i expect to nerf my setting during any sizeable pvp event regardless of my system. after my experience in Aion with memory leakes every 5min, insane lag and latency problems...both of which ive never experienced as bad in any game ive played...ill take a few mob rubberbands, a sunday afternoon server suicide, and hearing ab out other people get memoryleaks. If i would have never played aion i would be able to still say that i had never had any major technical issues with a game over 4 diffrent rigs over the years...was also my first time ever needing to use customer support. Im very happy with how fallen earth has run and preformed, especially considering this isnt a bigass global game production company running the show here. Ill give these guys some slack, since they gave me the ability to choose a sandbox character growth route. |
