Graphics-Lag

So I looked around at all the pictures posted up and the graphics look really good!!:D But does that mean the game will be totally laggy?!?!?:(

That means you need a better video card and/or more RAM to run the game on high GFX.

I'm playing mostly everything on max, I turned off shadows, cause who the hell needs shadows in a game, and bumped up reflections, texture, distance, etc. It does get laggy in the city areas, but once you're out in the open you're good.

My computer specs aren't all that great but I get by:

AMD 64 X2 5000+
GeForce 7800 GTX OC
1 GB OC RAM

I am not trying to bash the game but what pictures are you looking at because this game looks like ****. Sure, you can customize your character in a million and one different ways but just in terms of graphic quality, its ****.

Did you turn on the Soften and Sharpen check boxes. That's the equivalent of Smooth Antialiasing and AF. Also moving the texture slider all the way to the right helps a lot too. Just remember it might slow down your computer when you go into crowded areas.

You need to understand that the game is free. And as far as graphics go, I think they're pretty damn good considering the lack of a monthly fee.

I don't know about your hardware setup, but I think this old box I'm on can run this game VERY well:

And yes, I play like this all the time. The 4th pic is when I turned the graphics down to get more fps. I didn't want to lose some quality due to picture compression, but I had to change the file name from .BMP to .JPG to make the file size smaller, but the picture in the resolution I play in (1280 x 1024).
