Radiance1979: Don't you just hate it, when playing a game - suddenly you find yourself wondering if your equipment is really up to the job. You check all the measurements you can during game, temperatures are more then oke, system load is really nothing to be worried about, and still, the a.i. choices you see in the game reflect anything but the game you are playing. Choices gone wrong, distorted graphics, previous smart opponents turned zombie....

after checking once more the current state of this game whihc of course has an active community, though scrolling through the posts leave you with a distinct feeling that half don't even own the game and another half is just here to pretend, maybe not even rich enough for a pc but rich enough to make their presence felt for whatever reason possible

still you pull through and start reading the posts going back at least 7 days to be certain you did not miss any posts that could clear up any trouble you are reading. when you find nothing your brain starts to question its self yet again... do i need a more expensive processor? is the pc actually build in a right way? is the developer up to date with its system?
where can i find answers to these questions?

paladin181: Can You Run It?

nightcraw1er.488: Ah, you mean hardware. When you said my equipment wasn’t up to it I thought we were on another topic...

Radiance1979: uhm, no.... yes i was talking about hardware, the old days used to be simple... i could use my 1st gen i7 for about 11 years before games really became impossible to play, not to mention what you still can do with those 4th gen cpu's
it does work a bit different on the lower scale of possibilities, still that damn i5 gets all the gamign merit on intel's side while it seems you need a higher tier for amd to get the most out of your gaming experience

nightcraw1er.488: It’s like all technology, don’t know what the theory is called, but you create tech which does x at y speed, then everyone uses it so you need to invent y^2 speed, which people then fill up creating a need for y^2^2etc. And it rapidly accelerates becoming needed faster and faster more increases until you hit the wall. I suppose it’s embedded in the rationale of the human parasite to expand and consume until both it and the host die, as that same model happens in business as well (if your not in growth you die), and with the planet in general - get more population, build more houses, get more cars out there, repeat, repeat..
