I just started playing Tom Clancy's EndWar a few minutes ago, and my computer lags like shit in that game. And I run a lot of things fast. The resolution was set on low. Everything in that game was slow. By the time I moved ten feet and quit the game, the recording said I had only been in for 33 seconds but about 10 minutes had passed since I started. Wth is going on? I don't even run unneccesary processes, tell me how to fix?


EDIT: Oh yeah, now when I start the game everything goes fucking black at the main menu and all I hear is music. WTF?

Are you sure your computer meets the minimum requirements??

Ya what specs are you running? Also the screen going black could be you set it to a non compatible resolution or your video card drivers need to be updated. (this is all assuming your computer is meant to play the game)



None.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
