Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I tried getting on it, but it seems like they're using BF: Vietnam. Quote
StateCop Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I think we are just testing it...I have just got my copy of BFV so I could play. Quote
FINNER Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 i hope so because i dont have it prolly wont buy it anytime soon, and armory is the only server i play Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 I wonder if Vietnam would run on my mediocre PC and on its lowest settings.1.2GHz256mb. RAMRadeon 7500 64mb.Adelphia Powerlink (supposedly faster than DSL)Speakers52X cd drive Quote
FINNER Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 mine can run it fine but i am 16 right now and at this point its computer game = car....... computer loses out Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 Do you think mine can run it well?I just bought a new Chevy Silverado Pickup and I have an average salary from the Marines. I get paid a little more being a Lance Corporal. Quote
LORD_ORION Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 Yeah, rotation would be cool...I like both games, and undoutedly alternating between the two would go a long way towards preventing either game from becoming stale. Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 I don't know if it'll run well on your system CJ, but it will definately work and should still be fun. Norm's running off a Geforce2 video card, and seems to be able to get around OK . Most of us who've played Vietnam (we have about 16 clan members and another 5 regulars with a copy of BFV already) are pretty excited about it. It adds some new dimensions to gameplay and is a lot of fun. We've discussed the possibilities with DC and Vietnam, and most of us suspect that the two will merge in some way or another... and hope that DC comes out under the Vietnam engine soon so we can add some of the features of the new engine. In the meantime, we'll probably mix up the games on the server for some variety-- we won't stop playing DC now that Vietnam is out, but it's nice to be able to have our own server this first weekend... we tried to coordinate joining another server, but had all sorts of trouble with servers filling up, etc. We may set up a rotation between DC and Vietnam, but DC is definately not going anywhere. Take care, Carl How will that work though? Wouldn't you have to change cd's between maps considering that BF:1942 and Vietnam are two different games and linked to each other? And how would the stats be tracked? Quote
WSAENOTSOCK Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 *cries* I'm running off a Geforce2 as well, but nobody cares, do they?! /pouts in cornerI have an old 1988 Chevy 1500 Ext. cab that's going to be MY wheels. So I won't be getting a new computer anytime soon, the truck drinks gas like an alchoholic with his alchomohol. Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 Mine eats gas like that toohow much RAM do you have?Would it run well on the lowest detail settings with a Radeon 7500 64mb. and 256mb. RAM? Quote
gopatriots03 Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I wonder if Vietnam would run on my mediocre PC and on its lowest settings. 1.2GHz 256mb. RAM Radeon 7500 64mb. Adelphia Powerlink (supposedly faster than DSL) Speakers 52X cd drive it probaly wont work. if u still want to try it, use the 3.7 drivers. go to planetbattlefield.com forums and see how much ppl complain about it with pc's 3 times better than that Quote
Sam.Gen. Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 NO!!! ALIAS!!!!! NO!! THEY KILLED HIM!!! HE'S BEEN LEFT BEHIND!! Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 For the most part Desert Combat probably has the same PC requirements as BF: Vietnam.I know that DC has hihger requirements than plain old Battlefield:1942. IIn 1942 I can play on a 40-50 player server with no or at least little lag on medium detail settings.In DC, all it takes is 24 players to have lag, but that is not at the lowest graphics settings.

DeadRoach Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I upgraded my ATI drivers last night (Radeon 9000) and the game performance improved. I can run half the maps in 800X600X32 with modest settings, and in lower res I can crank up more of the features. I you can play DC, chances are you can play BF:V with some tweaking.Current systemAMD 2200+ Underclocked at 1.65 ghz384 megs of DDR MemRadeon 9000 with 128 megs of video ramXP systemOld Sound Blaster Live! sound card.

Shotty Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 not really, its a 256 and a 128meg stick,if you can run DC ok, you can run the BF:V well, it is far more optimised than DC. Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted March 24, 2004 Author Posted March 24, 2004 The DC server has rarely reached 10 players since BF: Vietnam came out. Quote
Col Hogan Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Runs good on pc1 @ 800x32, med details, high sound on 1.5 ghz intel cpu/asus mobo/512 cache/512 ram/gforce xfx 128 mb (g4?) ... in easy single player ... yet to try big mutli match with more movement and such which will demand more of your vid card, cpu, and ram.Runs good as above in pc2 @ 800x16, low details, high sound on 1.3 ghz amd cpu/k7 triton mobo/512 cache/512 ram/gforce 2-64 mb. i may find it choppy in multiplayer ... when i get around to try it.box shows minimum and optimum requirements as will details on net. it said gf3-64. but seems the 64 mb vram matters more then version of geforce.reamdme.txt on cd says some problems with other cards. prefers gforce.

Gator Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 The DC server has rarely reached 10 players since BF: Vietnam came out. We are playing both, so some members will be playing different gammes on different days...basically changing from game to game. Vietnam is new to everyone now, so just wait a while until the newness runs off. We all stil very much like DC, but some of us want to play BF:V as well. It's all good... :mrgreen: Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted April 4, 2004 Author Posted April 4, 2004 The server has been zero for the majority of the weekend. I hate playing by myself.I uninstalled BF: Vietnam so thats not an option to me. Quote
LEAFY_BEAN_SPROUT Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Bah! no wonder when the server was up it had no one in it!*makes note to get BF:V* Quote
Comrade_Jerkov Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Either way how bad is the problem with the server? Its been down for a day. Quote
