Show CPU model in lobby

[E8400-CV]

Enough of the laptop nonsense slowing down the game to -4 or noobs lying about "the cpu score is bugged for me". I've found 99% (rounded down!) to be pure bullsh*t.

When hovering over the cpu score, let it show the CPU model. Just like it's listed in Windows System properties. For example;

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30 GHz

That way it's easier to pick out the laggers. Like the people with hot-head laptop cpu's that will overheat and slow down.

So you want to also show the current thermal specs for laptops as some of 'em actually have a decent thermal design with next to no throttling?

my laptop with stock cooler actually runs better than my desktop

No, I want to play without slowdowns. Having a better idea of what someone's system is, will make that easier to achieve.

And you will also run in false positives, meaning you will limit your options and you will be an asshole (but according to your posts on this forum you don't really care about that). It's simply not fair for the people that have a decent laptop with a decent thermal design that can play FA just fine (compared to the average or above average desktop CPUs).

Well this is setons rage I guess, laptops don't usually do well there ;D

Well I believe its quite a valid request, though I am unaware how difficult it would be to accomplish.

However, in the meantime, I strongly suggest you simply kick the ppl with slow cpu scores to be sure.

Just throw out those babies with that bathwater.

Not at all. That's why this is to be combined with the suggestion from the other topic; Slow simspeed kick

Decent laptops for FA gaming are unicorns. Basing argumentation against showing CPU model on their existence is rather funny. Show me one laptop that keeps the same Turbo clock as during the benchmark after 60 minutes of FAF (so also GPU load). Even my Thinkpad W520 with it's 170W powerbrick will go down 100-200 W.

You guessed wrong. I play setons a lot less because it's rare to get 8 players with decent CPU. It was a Rohan, -4 at 35 minutes, sandwiched between short breaks of no lag.

Something that also would be useful is to show current free memory in the system so you know if someone is going to swap memory during the game. FA.exe usually grows to ~1 GB during a long game so if people are low on memory it will cause stutter.

Was about to patch it in but there's no good way feeding data from FAF-client -> game after it's launched so you can't show memory status during a game, only in the lobby.

OK so I join your game, and you see this: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz".

Do I get to play? If you're going with a CPU models ideology, you must know quite a bit about them, so you know HQ means it's a mobile chip, and I'm therefore on a laptop. 2.6GHz is also fairly slow compared to most desktop CPUs. So what's your verdict?

And yes, this post is a trap, but please give your honest answer: Would you kick that CPU?
