[News & Blog] Deathmatch in Alpha stage (By ChrML)

[orappa]

ok sorry next time i will stay on topic

but still can a developer please answere my question how much resources will dm chew up at 1280x1024x32 because the screens you post on the website look this size thanks. i don't lag at all except in certain areas of the map... a glitch in the game

It's impossible to give you an answer because the resource usage will depend on the number of players within the player's immediate proximity and how many custom objects the map creator has chosen to add. Other things can affect it too, such as if someone is using a rocket launcher or grenade.

Running at 1280x1024x32 requires a good pc and lag isnt a glitch in the game. You lag in certain areas because they are more detailed or contain smoke-like particles (like up in the clouds)

yes i understad that but i don't lag in the clouds and i dont lag on any other areas except los santos and the countryside, yes i understand that in the country the detail is a lot more complex but why do i lag in los santos its like any othere city

we also checked on my friend computer and had the same problem in the same areas we also both found ou t that the more we played it the less laggy it bacame, i think this is a bug

[NazcaC2]

Again, it's not a bug. You know what happens when you pile a lot of cars in one area (ie. 32 cars spawning in the same area) - it slows down, due to the videocard trying to process all of them. Also, remember at higher resolutions, you will be receiving lower framerates; almost an exaggeration of a slowdown in the same area at a lower resolution. Anti-aliasing in busier areas/different parts of town/etc. will slow the speeds down too.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your videocard (not like it matters, since anyone would notice a slight slowdown, even on todays cards on resolutions like that)?

[Ivan_xXx]

my video card is radeon 9700 128mb onboard memory 350mgz core speed.

[Gamefreek]

You should not be running SA at that kind of resolution then, you need to be running at 1024x768. No wonder you get lag in the game, that card isnt that good

[Ivan_xXx]

lol i have 5272 on 3dmark03 are you sure it is my graphics card cos my friend has a grphics card that has 550mgz core speed and 256 onboard memory and his laggs like hell in the same bits of the map as well

[Gamefreek]

Try it on 3dmark03, you'll probably get 2,000 or so

[NazcaC2]

I think Gamefreek mean't to say 3dmark05/3dmark06.

[Gamefreek]

Doh stupid me...i read what he said and my mind totally blanked... Yeah try running 3dmark05 and/or 3dmark06. Your score will definitely not be 5,000

[Ivan_xXx]

i dont wanna pay for the program and the trial is only a demo and 06 is deffenetly out of my GPU's league.

[NazcaC2]

No problem, just to make a long story short - like a few of us said, your videocard isn't capable of that resolution in this game.

Hi all! Some body can tell me when does the deatmatch come out, because i can't find datum .?! Thx

[Sprinter]

Noone knows the exact date when it will be released.

[Jigga]

They are in Alpha stage, that means it will take some time for a full release.

[Guest]

[Oli]

[Ivan_xXx]

sorry to ring this up again but a recently got hold of radeon X850XT and guess what in the same points on the map i have the same old 2fps now noone can tell me that my gpu isnt powerful enough i think there is a problem with my sa be cause it's a russian copy.

Also remember that SA is optimised for Nvidia cards.

[Jigga]

Strange, as i run the game perfectly smooth at 1024x768 with my 9600 Pro.

[erorr404]

Does the same thing happen in single player? Try updating drivers.

[Ivan_xXx]

yes same happens in single player and since i was trying a new gpu all the drivers are up to date

[vicecity55]
