Lost PLanet can I run it

[theuprightman24]

Just down loaded loast Planet demo -- my system is struggling to run it -- I think it should be fine:

Athlon 6000+
Vista
4GB ram
8800 320MB GPU

(some other stuff not really relevant)

Is it my system or the demo?

Thought the game was ok?

p.s. was running max settings

 

[flip_x]

dont feel too bad my runs it at around 20-25fps on the highest settings at 1680x1050

On max settings the 8800gts will struggle to run it smoothly. I just got done playing it and i have most settings on max and get 30-60fps with a 8800gts and e4300.

run it on dx9. You should be able to play with smooth frame rates depending on the resolution and AA settings.

Will the GTX play any better?

 

[paq7512]

That game is really awful on cards on dx10, dx9 works a little better.

 

[babybudha]

what resolution you trying to run it on?

 

[tlmck]

Yes. What res. The 320 card is only good for native 19-20" res on most games, especially DX10 in its current state. DX9 mode is also a good idea.

 

[theuprightman24]

using a 17" monitor.

Basically this is a poor DX10 game and a good DX9 game?

So in the game is there an option to either install or run DX9?

It's a console port, so naturally there are performance issues with PCs. I think it runs better on ATI cards as well. Running in DX9 will improve performance and won't degrade image quality noticeably.

 

[theuprightman24]

No matter the 8800 card be it 320MB or GTX its not great?

I have Vista... can I choose DX9 over DX10

 

[theuprightman24]

Can anyone recommend anything better??

I liked the demo -- much better than jericho and Hellgate London (the later being very poor indeed) I have Half life 2, fear, Bafflefield 2142 & GRAW 1?

 

[systemlord]

Its a bad port from the consoles.

Lost planet SUX!
Ran fine on q6600/gts320 @ 14x10.
Died fighting the first big monster thingy then chucked it out
Not impressed.

In other news... 3 DAYS TILL CRYSIS (demo)

 

[tlmck]

You have to download the DX9 demo to run DX9. It is a separate file. You may have to uninstall the DX10 first though.

I think this was done to provide a sneaky way of gauging interest in DX10.

 

[theuprightman24]

What about the full game???????? Can I choose DX9 -- or will Vista auto DX10?

Has performance for the final game improved?

 

[blashyrkh]

I finished the complete game (enjoyed the graphics, other than that it was a very average console game port). On a res of 1240x960 with everything max and 4xAA, I was getting 35-45fps on my low end system which is fine with me considering how old my system is.

 

[theuprightman24]

So the demo has issues and things got better for the full game?
