PSU PC Players

[Kevwin]

What spec are the PC's you guys are using to play PSU and how well do they they play for you? Ill be playing with a 3ghz Processor, ATI Radeon 9100 (64mb?) Graphics, 512mb Ram (448mb actual) and an Internet connection at around 450kbps.
Does anyone have a similar setup to this and how do you find playing.
I know there are spec topics out there but none actually state how well the game runs at each setting level

I've got:
3.4Ghz Processor
Intel 82865G 96MB shared from main ram
512MB Ram

The game plays fine with normal setting with frameskip on 3. The glow effect and color of weapons do not work on it however.

[Kevwin]

So does that mean all the weapons have the same colour regardless of element?

The part that is supposed to glow is just white. The rest of the color on them looks fine. I should have clarified that.

AMD Athlon64 3000+, 1GB ram, GeForce 6800 GS.

Game runs fine at 1024x768 windowed, on medium settings but with 0 frameskip. Very little slowdown (and if there is, it's because of some other program hogging memory and stuff *cough*Firefox*cough*).

I got the game this morning I have to run it on bare minimum settings (How does Frameskip work, Higher the Number = better quality or vice versa??) It still looks good to me tho tis fun, although im finding the controls very difficult to master. i will be investing is some kind of game pad very soon as I cant get through chapter 2. I keep dying halway through as trying to heal mid fight using the keyboard is proving impossible for me.
Ill see you all online on the 24th though.... hopefully It will run at the speed its running now or it might prove difficult.

sorry for girth/wall o txt

Frameskip essentially means, how many frames for the game to skip before displaying a new one on screen. Frames are essentially the billions of individual pictures that go by several times a second to provide that "flowing" feel that games, TC, etc give us. The higher the frame skip, the more jumpy the image seems, but the easier it is on your PC. (I hope I got that all right.)

[Moonwraith]

Essentially, yeah.

The game will seem more 'jerky' to watch with a higher frameskip, but since you are skipping frames (and thus they don't have to be rendered or displayed) it makes things a lot quicker.

Is there a difference between frame-skip and frame-rate? Frame rate is better higher, and frame skip is better lower - no? Just wondering...
