An FYI re: Yorres' in Forest Speed

IoRez's picture
Greetings fellow community members!

Until very recently I was running TEF on an ancient monolith of a PC that was a decade old. It's processor was so slow that TEF usually ran at a whopping 9-10fps, even with all the shadows, softness and reflections turned all the way down. Recently, it has seemed (to me anyway) that there are a lot more deer in the forest than when I first joined. The 40+ users now typically online dragged my already dismal framerate even lower. I was becoming worried that I may have to cancel/not attend some of the regular events I try to host throughout the year.

Well, last week my my motherboard blew a capacitor, effectively bricking the CPU. The practical upshot of this is that I had to buy a newer, faster computer. Now my TEF sessions are running at a blistering 20fps with all the bells and whistles tweaked to the max! So it looks like those events will be continuing as scheduled. Keep an eye open for the Bland Days Skinny Dip flyer I will be posting probably sometime around the beginning of June.

That's all. Thanks for reading, and See you in the Forest!

Congratulations ^^ A new PC

Congratulations ^^ A new PC is always something special...

But I'm a bit surprised: On my PC 9 fps are normal too, and playing is difficult if there are many deer. [i[But[/i] it isn't usually too slow, Assassin's Creed brotherhood runs fine! Is something wrong there?
(On our new win7 it's much better, so I guess Vista is in fact too old O_o)
