Cabal running crappy?

ello my peoples.

thought i would share some new found info i discovered when trying to speed cabal up.

if you turn mutli sampeling off in the graphics part of the options you will find that you will have no more laggs in big places.

basically multi sampeling allows graphics to constantly be re-rendered which is great when your playing on your own....but when your in a spot with 5+ mobs or 10 players (pvp instance) this can cause ur graphics to struggle.

the only downside is that the graphics are not at max sharpness...not noticable unless you play fullscreen...even then unless you are a graphics noob like me you probably wouldnt even notice it.

hope this helps..it did for me

MSAA is also known as Anti Aliasing. Wich makes the edges look more sharper and natural. This hower takes up a big FPS rate, so unless u got a kickass gaming card you will notice it quite good (try run fraps to see ur fps) with new rig i run 8x msaa 60 FPS all time.

My pc is so shitty that when i get all on lowest its even worst! goddamnit

in addition to what beat said, u can also go to ur Nvidea and Ati hardware setup u can go there by pressing right mouse button on ur wallpaper and it should be in that list, then go to 3d Setup and turn everything down, things like Multi sampling/anti aliassing, Anistrophic Filtering, V synch, are very heavy things Nvidea mostly sets those things to ON automaticly which is very anoying, If off is not in the list, Select "Let Application decide".

The lower teh performance the lower the efficenty, thats a downside to it. I recommen to just leave it on in the ati/nvidia settings. And than lower the game performance.

the thing is, if u trun down game settings when u have Nvidea settings still on u dont realy turn it off so every graphic application on ur computer will run heavy.

I have everything off, fact is my pc's are freaking shit:)
