SRL Archive - The Bashing Club / BBQ Pit

I just seen a bunch of people moaning about how the 'new' Runescape is rubbish and how their PC's lag so much when they play, How bad must your PC be to not even be able to play such a simple game ON JAVA?!

Actually it's not that simple game…the JAVA engine takes LOT's of computers CPU and GPU, think the rs developers have spent uncountable hours to make stuff(functions and procedures and that whole shit) to run little faster and better..when someone makes something like 2ms faster it's like woah..it's not that simple if it looks..

And I think nowadays you're able to run it on at least 1GHz and 256 RAM and 32 MB graphics pretty well..i'm sure you can't run it on like 300 MHz PC..you might did like few years ago, when the graphics were more than shit..but now they're been upgrading..even few months(some 3 or 4 actually, haven't played for a while, and i'm not going to aswell ), when I tried to play it on 256 RAM and 2.0 GHz PC, I got lagged out several times..

edit: if you have a celeron processor…2.0GHz is nothin specia b/c of the cache (google "what's the difference with a celeron? megagames" to see what i mean) if you dont want to look, ill summarize cache: your processor may be able to handle info @ 2.0, but it cant ship it out fast enough or store enough of it close to the CPU for "readiness" so it might as well not be a 2.0

most people's new systems now though come with atleast 512 RAM…if i were you id upgrade the RAM and give it another go…

my system:
2.2GHz Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
GeForce FX 5200 (256MB)

i lagged in highly populated areas very slighty this morning (as in yesterday when it came out technically)…but i think that was a bandwidth issue b/c my task manager was reporting like 45% CPU usage and very low PF usage…who knows!

Did you even read his posts?
He doesn't want to get onto runescape.
Its just a while ago he TRIED it out on a PC with those Specs…

Since we're sharing PC specs…
AMD Phenom 9550 Quad core
4Gb DDR2-1066 (PC-855)…mobo hold upto 16…. darn windows only index's 4 :(
GeForce 8800GTS (512mb)

Q6600, 8800GT (512mb ofcourse :p), 2gb RAM blablabla, runs fine at (capped) 50FPS 1600x1200 4xAA every detail at very very fucking high :)

Edit: Yeehaa! After I forced my NVidia drivers to 16xAA+Q and like another 8x Anthropic filtering it lagged :p

Woops, my post may contain some useless info, cause I didn't knew that there were graphics update..I meant old low detail graphics..and actually ujimitsu was bit right, it was a celeron processor..with some bad 64MB shared video memory..

I tried loading the high detail few moments ago..I couldn't log on, but still the intro clip behind logon window lagged hard..1,5 GHz amd sempron, 512 ram, and 32 mb shared video..and also when I tried to go full screen, the whole application crashed..:D

Whoa!! Finally done.. It took me like 20 minutes to list all my specs. :o

Not sure if it was just because the update had just happened and all idiots were rushing online to see the new graphics, but the loading time between areas took way longer than usually and most new animations are kinda crappy (walking and running.. oh god).. Haven't tried the whole new graphics.. I'll wait until it's f2p.

ON JAVA?!

Java games can have just as good graphics and C++ ones, so no point in IT'S JAVA IT SUX LOL type of stuff ;)

Yeah C++ owns Java like 10x, though I couldn't imagine running C++ app through web application(is it possible? Think not..), if you would need to dl it into your PC, it will turn like any other game, like WoW..and then it sucks, rs loses it's "harmony"..

I said what I said to point out that just because something is made in java doesn't mean it's low quality and crappy x) I'm not really pro on any which of the languages so can't really say which owns which 10x or so :p I hope you are, if you know it so well :)

it might not be just the computer too…people with slower internet speeds could experience lag and such. But luckily i just got the new 12 mbps on the new fiber optics they layed in my area with dedicated lines :p

edit: posting my specs…felt left out. Customized on HP about a year ago. Nothing special got for about $1,200 from my detassling money

Graphics: NVIDEA GeForce 8500 GT :(
Memory: 2 GB DDR2
Processer: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0 GHZ

other stuff is nothing special. But that runs runescape really easily along with other decent games, such as WoW and BF2142
