Re: why my pc is slow

Perpetuum is very very badly optimized. You need a high-end system to run it almost properly.

I can run multiple (at least 2) instances on my 5 year old machine with agp gfx card - so - dunno if its that badly optimized.

I am beginning to wonder if Windows 7 is having a more significant performance issue with the client than XP is.

Hardly proof, but I've crashed about 12 times upon zoning out of a terminal on my Win 7 machine.  Never crashed on xp.

Make sure your drivers are up to date and you've got the most up to date DirectX9 installed.
Shadows tend to cause a lot of problems and on a computer like that you should be getting 60+ FPS (Depending if V.Synced or not). Turn shadows off if they're on.

I've been using Windows 7 from the get-go and I've never had that many crashes. large combat only. This game doesn't like Radeon or AMD very much but I find it hard to believe a different processor would cause a drop in FPS.

Are you noticing an FPS drop in any other game?

I play with max detail and aa and fps varies a lot, from 10 to 60.

As some1 said already, P is badly optimised. Give it a year smile And dont worry, you dont need high fps that badly, unless you pvp. And if you pvp, drop all details from gfx anyway.

C'est la vie, don't fight it smile

Re: why my pc is slow

In large group PvP (30-40 players), turn off all the robot details. Reboot PO before you start though, do not do it in parallel to the fight on the same client instance. Even so in that, video lag is the least of your concerns....it's the network lag that is killing us...least if your on the Western side of the globe.

For example, I have to wait 4-5 seconds just to click target someone, then another 3-4 seconds to activate a module on someone....and the rubberbanding...holy chit! lol

Good news is, that's fixable, but it's not going to be cheap for them atm.

Re: why my pc is slow

I run perp out of a ramdisk setup, much like I did eve.

I have considered swapping it to the SSD and seeing which runs better.

Each instance of the game (up to four for now) gets it's own ramdisk and it runs pretty damned well sitting at 60FPS with each instance in it's own monitor.

But this is with two i9s and 2x295 and 16GB of ram. :toot:
