i mean relly..its all ready in the lobey i hit start 3 minets latter the planet models apper and the texter starts to load am i the only one with this problem? (i deletaed my planet textures to speed up gameplay and it worked untill a few builds ago when this started to happen)
I get the same problem too. Often I have to start an AI game, let it sit for 2 minutes and load everything, which ends up choosing my start location for me because it takes too long. Then I quit to main menu so I can actually start a game that loads quick enough to choose my start location. It's probably because my system specs are almost as bad as yours. Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.5GHz 4GB DDR2 RAM AMD Radeon HD 7850 Windows 7 64-bit
a few builds ago when i first deleated all textur files (that remainds me..i have to save them for next time a update puts the textures back in! maby turn it into a mod the "No rendering mod!" or somthing ) it....oh man...it loaded so fast i walked out waiting for it to load looked back and it was done
At this time it appears 4GB of ram is the bare minimum to be able to play. If you can't or don't want to upgrade your RAM, close as many programs as you can. Browsers and programs like Skype use up a lot of memory. Also use the stand alone game so you don't have Steam running in the background.
i can play it it's just...takes like 3 minets to load the planet models :/ (and since i have no textures to render the game just starts but still 3 minets to load all that!)
Yeah, but if you check your hdd activity light while it is loading, you'll probably see a lot of blinking. That's your OS swapping memory to disk. Reading from and writing to disk is slow. Also note that everyone you play with has to wait longer because you are not able to select your start position.
well my computer can not hold more RAM...and i have no extra money TO get a new one...keep house or buy computer :/
Your CPU can handle 4GB for sure and for motherboard I seriously doubt there is mob's that support less than 4GB.
