TomKatt Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 :noexpression: doh did i sound like whining? noo I just want to see more servers, different settings, more players. thats all. also worried about lockon's future in the market (compared to il2) of course i dont want to see newbies wasting time and bugging players while playing. anyway look at the servers on HL... mostly empty. only one or two server are dominating...why's that.

GGTharos Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 It has always been like that ... LOMAC is just not as popular I guess. It's not easy when you've got lots of competition, and with varying interests - Eg. IL2 players are not necessarily interested in jets ... F4AF players are just not interested in LOMAC (usually) ... there are some who have both, and play both, but I think those are most likely in the minority - most people choose something and stick with it.

S77th-konkussion Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 No prob- and don't think that I meant you & you alone. One reason is available bandwidth- with all of LOMAC's fun little glitches & performance demands & issues- mix in a laggy server, and it just adds fuel. You gotta have room for the people. You also gotta have a mission up there that will run for hours- 45 minute co-ops are not suitable. Again- you guys need to get on the damn TS channels!

If I may also direct you to something I wrote on my nugget- friendly site. http://konkussion.proboards60.com/index.cgi?board=lomac&action=display&thread=1137193042 scroll down slightly. Point being- the goal of ACE settings is not to pick on new guys. Quite the contrary. 1 [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 IMHO its the performance issues which are responsible for why ppl are off lomac. When FB came out I could not run it at highest water etc settings...but still at the possible medium it ran like butter. Now with my laptop it runs like butter at all high. Recently I reformatted by bro's AMD 3200 1gig RAM and ati 9800 pro. I installed lomac + FC and played a little. IT was better in perf wise but I was trying using all my cannons in the su 25t and suddenly fps dropped to single digits and I crashed. For some reason..the devs have to look up the code for bullet holes in ground and the smoke caused + splashes in water. Its too much fps hogging. If I am right..u can make polys and assign a very low res texture or probably a vector with arbitary white color + a little opacity change to make smoke. I would personally love if ED can iron out perf issues in BS. I don't care if the smoke doesn't involve any latest shaders and instead goes back to flanker 1 style. I would love to have 30 fps with all cannons blazing at ground targets. the more ppl can run it smoothly..the more interested they will be. afterall no one wants to play a lagging game.

S77th-konkussion Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Dittos to that. I can no longer buy that Lockon's mediocre performance is all about the hardware of the day. The game itself shares the blame. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
