Performance help

[r_jekop20 0]

Hi, I have a question, (no idea to which topic should I write so I put this here) about performance. I play this game a few weeks, it is really good, but of course I encounter some problems, when 4 or more players take part in a game, so here is my question - how to improve performance of the game, to allow my computer to "hold" more players? Because now when many tanks are in a battle, the game "cuts", or dramatically crashes. By that, I lose crystals, because I can't manage my tank..

 

I saw here some "alternative" link, but it did not matter which link I used

 

If I did not explain my problem clearly, please let me know.

 

Regards.

This is most likely caused by a low performing machine. What are your computer's specs (including RAM, CPU, etc.)?

 

Also, your computer will require less resources, and allow the game to play better, if you follow the direction here and use the Stand-alone Flash player: http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/1180.page

Look, my graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9500GT and 3GB ram, speed of pc is 2.80GHZ, so I don't know what is going on.. this stand alone player I just downloaded, but game doesn't launch on that..

When you open the stand-alone, click File > Open, then copy/paste one the the URL's listed in that thread I gave (should look like http://tankionline.com/AlternativaLoader.swf?v=3&server=tankionline.com/config-c1.xml&lang=en).

 

That being said, your computer may be running too many processes. Game Booster is a great program that will shut off unnecessary programs while you are playing. Look here: http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booster/3000-18512_4-10913645.html

Ahhh, thank you. I will try to figure out this program, then test the game. I'll let you know if I stil have problems ok?

[NoblePlatOne 19]

ok

[r_jekop20 0]

nah, it doesn't help at all. Maybe internet is the problem hehe?

[NoblePlatOne 19]

Possibly. What is your percent CPU usage listed in Task Manager?

[r_jekop20 0]

I have 33 processes

cpu usage jumps from 0 to 30

Does sound like your ISP, unfortunately. Did the Stand-alone finally work? If not, please try to be specific about what step in my above directions is not working.

It works I figured it out thanks.

 

 

What is ISP?

[NoblePlatOne 19]

ISP = Internet Service Provider. Something is slow, and it does not appear to be your computer. Try this upload/download speed test: http://www.speedtest.net/

now tell me what next..

[NoblePlatOne 19]

uh.....that is not good. What ISP are you using? You need a better one. Are you using dial-up?

[r_jekop20 0]

where I can check that?

[NoblePlatOne 19]

Check what? If you are using dial-up, you are plugged into a phone jack. I do not know ISP's in Ireland. Maybe you can ask friends for the options that are available in your area.

I use a mobile one (modem or something like that).

 

This is what I have

That link states you should get up to 7.2Mbsp download speed. You are only getting 0.8Mbsp!!! Unfortunately, they do say "up to" ... and 0.8 is included in "up to." I would complain....and change to something better.

[r_jekop20 0]

I know those bastards promise much and give little! I am going to change my net anyway

 

 

Thanks for help. I appreciate it

 

Don't buy Vodafone internet like I did or you will encounter such problems. O2 is also not good

Good luck with everything.
