an idea on how to get less lag?
« on: March 27, 2012, 05:59:14 pm »
ok after logging in select which server you want having 4 different servers so that you can choose which server you want to get less lag?

This would make it very hard for Moderators and Admins to watch the maps and different servers, but one other server would be nice, yet it would cost alot of money.

something HAS and i mean HAS to be done because I can't stand the 1 frame per second in the maps that's just WAY TOO LOW i could get away with 15FPS but NOT 1! that's ridiculous!! at least optimise so things that aren't shown on your screen dont show up at all! SERIOUSLY! something HAS to be done about this! (absolutely no lag in lonely cave since no one else is there) lonely cave is the only place that doesnt lag for me as well as skys rim

Yes, I know it's annoying, but turn off water reflections and turn your view distance down, that reduces lag by alot! But the Admins and Moderators are very busy at the moment, even if there is lag!

Problem.. changing view distance does absolutely nothing. this is the same for every PC I have including my laptop. I set it to 0 and even 0.01 and 0.1 and nothing changes no difference at all and water reflections doesnt affect my performance at all

You have no right to demand a new server. Which you obviously did by using exclamation marks and caps. -.-
Server costs money, a lot of money..
If you don't like the lag, go to some deserted corner of the map you're in, or even to a private map. :/
I doubt that FH will be getting any new servers.

Changing view distance DOES affect the game. Changing the view distance gets rid of objects that are far away from you, The lower the view distance the closer the objects will disappear from you. Don't assume that because you can not see the difference that there IS no difference.

I can see where you are coming from with the idea itself, and I can understand the frustration.

Even though FH does not have breaking visuals for a game it's still very demanding as soon as a few characters are in the same spot or a map is overloaded with meshes. This isn't exactly a sims game from from the early 2000s.

Keep in mind, that even though getting a server might sounds like a good idea if FH keep growing and got a very big community, the game would pretty much stay the same. The lag you seem to be so annoyed about is most likely the framerate that is controlled by how powerful your computer is, and how demanding the game might be. Even if you buy a new laptop today you still bump into lag at times if in a crowded area, but it's also a matter of which in game settings you have or possibly even running other programs at the same time.

This is by NO means any boasting, but I myself sit on a desktop computer that were built after the release of FH with the money of 2000 Euros, just because I want the sharpest quality and nothing reduced, I still bump into awful frame drops in crowded maps. A suggestion would be to read this quick post explaining the ingame settings.

If turning everything down in the game to a lower quality you will get a performance boost, but if you run an older computer this might not increase that much.

In general, the servers might have a tiny claw in the situation, but far from what your computer(s) has to do with running the actual game. A server that runs FH is far from cheap and isn't exactly a "Want, just get" situation if that's understandable.
