Silkroad Online Forums

Yeah...

I get higher framerate on high settings than I do in Silkroad on high settings.

I'm not joking. I get an average of 32 FPS in Crysis in high settings and I get around 25 for Silkroad.

Is your shadow setting maxed? For some reason if you put it on detail, no matter how strong your computer is, it makes it laggy.

Its funny how people compare crysis to all games fps and system settings.

i guess you haven't tried Aion xD... that game had the worst FPS.

Naa, your computer is the worst.

Sounds like your cpu is the problem. I average around 56 fps on high settings.

can max Silkroad at 80-90 fps on medium soon as i go to the high setting it stays at 12fps doesn't go higher nor does it go lower. It's got some serious code issues.

Bad Company 2 is a bad boy on High.

ok yea maybe =P but it runs silk like a charm and Aion i got like 15 fps xD

turn off shadow detail, turn off bloom=higher fps

I get a steady 50~60frames in Aion.. except when a bunch(I'm talking about 25+) of characters appear then it goes to 20~30. Then when its in the hundres+ it goes down to 6~15 frames. That's all on max at 1920x1200 My computer nothing special really 8800GT, 3GB Ram, and Quad core 2.4GHz.



This. Shadows were poorly coded in Silkroad.

I use an i7 Quad, there is no better CPU available right now.

Anyways I know about the shadow and the bloom. My point was after 3 years of quitting I decided to see if the latest hardware would play it any better and no. Just pointing out how horrible the coding was.

Actually it amazed me, I didn't expect it to be this bad. I get an average of 55-58 FPS on high settings in Bad Company 2 @ 1920*1080 for comparison with dynamic shadows on.

Your constantly moaning in the Other Games section aswell.


Got anger problems?

Silkroad isn't entirely to blame. It's partly Windows, or maybe the Windows version of the graphics drivers. Granted, I've never actually measured framerates on my systems, but I've found that SRO works much better in Linux than it does in Windows.

Take my old system, an AMD Athlon 3200+ with 512 MB RAM and an nvidia fx 5200 graphics card. With Windows XP SP3 installed, the game was playable on low settings, shadows off, bloom off, but if I went into Hotan (always crowded) the game became a slide show. I could barely move around in there, even with the V key held down.

Take that same system and put Ubuntu on it. SRO ran rather well on high settings with both detailed shadows and bloom turned on. The only graphic feature I had turned off was water reflection. In town, especially Hotan, was minimally laggy. I could still run around in there, but skipped a frame or two here and there.

The game runs much better, even with detailed shadows and bloom on, on my current AMD Phenom II X4 9500 quad core with 2 GB RAM and an nvidia 8200. It still lags some, but not nearly as badly as it did in Windows. So Silkroad is partly to blame, but it would appear the OS, or drivers, are also to blame.

That's.. pretty funny tbh.

The way rookies think is so amusing
