Learn multiplication!

I don't give a shit if you go slower, as long as you stay at or below 0.

People trolling around wanting others to waste half an hour so you can play a game; now, that's some hating.

AGain here is my point, what your saying is that only people with an i5 should play this game? So the FAF market is limited to only i5's? How fucking retarded is that.


Did you even read my post?

Yes, if I want to do something freaking boring I watch a kid video with my 2 year old nephew.

Good for you, slomo elitist. I hate the guts out of slowdowns.

This game was made like 10 years ago and these CPU's weren't even out by then


So what? Plenty of games are only decent playable many years after they come out or only when buying high-end. It's how nVidia / Intel and company sell hardware. Something new comes out that requires more performance and people go out and buy it. Actually, the game is 7 years old. I've played it for many years on LAN parties. And nobody could stand it more than one round per day, because it was freaking slow.

Darthbobo wrote:
and your saying that its only possible to have a good game with an i5


Nope, I've pointed out that today's Pentium's, CPU's >25% cheaper than your AMD run this game fine. But that boils down to point 1: you didn't read my post.

Darthbobo wrote:
Look at the facts mate, if you limit your market to just i5+ then its going to be a small community.


Look at the facts: most people hate your slowdowns and apparently they still have a bunch of games after kicking all the laggers. Now, you say "there are many players out there who have the same issue". This would mean you can perfectly well play together and enjoy your -2 games while not bothering the people who did do some basic research before buying a CPU and don't want your slowdowns.

If you don't like someones score in the lobby kick them at the start, don't fucking wait 30 minutes to tell them they cant play because of the score.


I usually include "no lag" in the title. You know what you're in for when joining. And I play a lot at low-activity hours; I can't particularly be bothered by watching it fill up fullscreen.

Two weeks ago I hosted a <230 CPU Setons game and when it filled up I kicked a 260 guy. Most fluent setons ever :mrgreen:

Nope, don't have to and won't. People with shitty cpu scores should stay with smaller maps or get used to not being allowed in with a lot of bigger games. It's actually quite rude: 7 other people in that game might waste half an hour on your -2 nonsense. That's 3.5 manhours wasted just because you couldn't do basic research before buying a CPU? I don't think so!

Darthbobo wrote:
but its better than making people wait hours in lobby because you want a better CPU game.


I'd rather have 10 minutes more in lobby and 15 minutes less lag. Heck, I'd even rather have 20 minutes more in lobby than 15 minutes lag.

Funny. You didn't really read my post, but did click the link. There are 9 Xeons in the top 30. But you probably didn't want to see the two i3's and the Pentium in the top 30?

Here's a fun fact to make this perhaps more bearable for you: my nickname on this forum refers to the CPU in my old desktop. I still use that one sometimes, including for FAF. I simply don't play any Setons on it.

So really learn to live with some peoples shitty cpu scores, sure 400 is unacceptable, but its better than making people wait hours in lobby because you want a better CPU game.

And even more, that CPU might a bit down on the list but ofcourse all the xeon processors take up the first 30 places.

Anyway: A lot of times I only alt tab back into lobby when I see it's full. If someone with CPU bar erection is in there, and refuses to get it down; I kick. I don't care how long you've waited, I am not going to spend 6 other people's and my own time waiting for your slow CPU's -2 gamespeed.

Your "4th ranking CPU" (<bullshit!) is actually quite a bit down on this list:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
It's actually barely above a Core 2 Duo E8400 from 2008 and it's way under that six your old CPU with 20% OC.

It doesn't. The cheapest recent regular normal-voltage CPU Intel sells today (the Celeron G1840) for $47 beats your AMD CPU in FAF. If you double that to $90 you can get a Pentium G3460 which will probably score as much as the 2500K's from 2011, and they get <230 in FAF.

Dude; you bought the wrong CPU. The only thing your CPU is decent at are things that fully support such a humongous amount of cores. Like Making renders in Solidworks, rarring / parring files all day, room heating and something like two recent games.

By advertising slideshow gamespeed? Don't think so.


When I clicked on this thread I actually suspected some rage about AMD users lagging the game down. :lol:

Additionally, you say gamespeed 'doesn't go below -2'... -2 gamespeed is simply unacceptable. Anything under 0 is unacceptable to most people. High-end OCed AMD cores may have a low score, but they at least stay well away from negative simspeed 99% of the time, so people in general are OK with it.

Surely this game cant have a minimum requirement of an i5! Surely an AMD CPU 8320 which is 4th ranking CPU on CPU Comparison is capable of playing such an ancient game.

It gets to a point where its almost just not worth playing FAF because of this. So many times have I seen good players get booted after waiting 30 minutes for a lobby because of this issue. I am aware that yes it would be nice to have an i5 but really alot of people cannot afford this as an option and there are many players out there who have the same issue I have. Personally I feel that FAF's AMD CPU rating is going eventually going to drive the AMD CPU goers away and only people with i5 or greater will be left.

If you want to encourage more people to join FAF then seriously this should be fixed.
