Dynamis, Sky. . . etc (High Lagging Zones)

[Zempten]

Hello

I was just wondering if there was anyway to setup/tweek your computer so you DON"T lag in zones like these? Another zone that comes in mind is Whitegate. Is there any computer setup that would make this possible?

Thanks ^ ^

For zones like Whitegate, I just deal, but for things like Dynamis, for instance. I log out of the game, and edit my registry to lower my background and foreground resolution considerably before doing an event. It kind of makes things a bit more indistinct, but I'd rather have less lag and alive LS members than a pretty zone and me unable to do my job.

But if you're on 360 or PS2, I'm not sure what to suggest.

If on PC, lower your resolution to something manageable like 1024x768 or lower if necessary.

Lower all other in-game options (weather, footsteps, clipping pane, max characters visible, effects, shadows, etc.) and heavily filter your chat log as much as you dare.

The amount of tweaking you'll need to do depends greatly on the performance of your PC. My old computer (1.8GHz 1GB RAM) had to dial down almost all the way to be playable in Dynamis. My new one (3GHz 2GB RAM) handles pretty much everything except Besieged flawlessly.

Install mogtoolz. Run mogtoolz. It basically edits the registry without you having to do it yourself. I personally don't want to mess with the registry, because I'm afraid I'd do something stupid and delete something important, hence Mogtoolz.

They have a specific dynamis option and even then you can tweak the settings to how you like it.

Can you link to that, Mog? Might be a big help for people who haven't heard of it.^^

My graphics card sucks, so I am stuck at shitty resolution with artefacts a lot of the time. I can't even play NWN II properly atm. However, when I get a newer one in about a month...

That's why I mean. Approximately what type of hardware specs do you need to run those flawlessly? Could you tell me your video card please Icemage?

Thanks once again
