MOH Pacific Assault Performance

Does anyone else have this game?

I recently got this from my local store. Needless to say it had to be returned when I witnessed probably the worst game engine performance in recent times. Im still using an old FX5600 card which (Don't laugh) seems to run HL2 with no problems at all. However when I tried upping the resolution from 640 x480 to 800 x600 my comp nearly died. Running this game at the default settings it looked rubbish and the gameplay wasn't all that special. I noticed that EA released a patch but it was mostly multiplayer fixes. I am fully aware that older hardware can't run the latest titles at high settings but if you compare the performance of Doom 3, Painkiller, HL 2 versus the Pacific assualt engine I can't for the life of me see what is in the Pacific Assualt game that requires so much more graphics power than HL2? I can't imagine anyone spending another £300 on a graphics card just to play this pile of poo at 1024 x768

The game sucked, I couldn't be arsed, I got a refund...

I told you it sux but you had to go out to get it, well, live and learn baby.

weird i seem to run it fine at 800x600 with everyhting on high at 60 fps on my 5600fx 256

you know whats funny, the game runs sm,other on SHADER 2 than 1.

Be interested to now what system specs you got, cause on my fx 5600 (128MB) it became a slide show anything above 640 x480 on medium detail, compressed textures, decals on, pixel shader 2.0 enabled

Specs are

P4 3.0 GHz HT
1GB DDR 400 Dual Channel (2x 512MB)
Ge-Force FX5600 128MB
MSI Mainboard

these are mine and it runs anything i throw at it so far!

current hardware for current games.......if you are willing to spend the dough

the early gefoce fx cards arnt very powerful, i forgot what what nvidia did but they screwed it up

Oh please, go brag somewhere else will you? You really don't need cutting edge hardware to be able to play the newest games, the system the TS has should be able to handle MoH: PA. It's probably a driverproblem or something.

I don't think anybody asked for your specs mate

Probably the easiest way to get flamed is to start braggin about your specs, especially when you are off topic

I played it with 10x7 and it ran pretty smooth with Shader 2.
But when I tried Shader 1.1 to get rid of the bluryness it started a slideshow....

But then again the game is crap...so noone missed anything they couldn't play it.

hey whiteknight my specs aerent so great i mean you pretty much beat me out

p4 2.8ghz
1 G ram dual 512s
70 gb hard disk
geforce5600fx 256mb
audigy 2 zs
intel 865perl board
Direct x 9.0c

dont base it on other games running well....because many games have such flxibile engines that they can run on any system.im not saying moh dont have hiccups on mine but i ra the whole pearl harbor sequence at 60fps it was smooooooooth
