hardware issues with this game?

[Stryker198]

i havent played this in game in over a year (havent played sense the last day of nc1) and all the sudden today i got THE BIGEST neocrack craving in the world but before i throw money at the problem i wanna know if there are any compatability problems with certain cpus or graphics cards. also was the zoning problem and having to relog for various reasons ever get fixed ? anything new bug wise i should know about so i dont get a surprise?

The login bug isnt as bad, I usually dont have it unless Im running 2 clients.

Im not sure with hardware issues, I have 2 pentium comps with ATI cards running NC just fine

and i use AMD's n geforce n i dont get a problem either :D that about covers every thing lol

The only "incompatibility" I am aware of is older generation GeForce cards that were no designed around DirectX 9 (GeForce 2/3/4) using D3D9 instead of 7. That will bring some weird oddities to mobs and vehicles, though it's not unplayable, just looks weird. I use D3D7 with my GeForce3 and Athlon 3000+ with no problems.

certain nVidia drivers also cause odd problems with the gf2/3/4 series

i ahve geforce 2 200 n 400 they both work n so do all of my new geforce cards

do nvidia cards still have an advantage over ati cards in this game ? i remmber in nc1 nvidia cards did alot better and ati's usually had problems.

There's one card, i think nvidia based, that,with certain drivers, draws lines from your avatar to vehicles and mobs.
Some find it bad , and there's others who love it. I think there was some screenies on the forums about what it did.
If i had a card like that i'd put it in for hunting warbots :-)

I had that on my friends comp when his radeon 9200 was going out

Runs just fine on my somewhat pedestrian Athlon 64 (2Ghz) and Ati AIW9800SE + 1 Gig RAM. Never had any problems at all and I use only official ati drivers...

I have the dodgy lines on my geforece4 in dx9 mode (havent tried dx7). Main problem I get is memory leaks, leading to a restart of neocron every 1 to 2 hours - it's not a quick restart either, it takes a few minutes for winXp to regain all the memory NC was sucking up. I upgraded my memory to 1GB to combat this but it's still annoying. If I dont leave the game after a while my FPS gets all choppy and worse case NC will crash because in the background windows is automatically increasing the size of my virtual memory because NC is eating so much RAM!

Runs fine on my P4 2.4 gig with GeForce 6800, however it wont load unless i disable my scanners software, now thats what i call funky....bastard scanner http://broken-reality.org/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif
