Is it just me or does qin ling use a crap load more RAM than it really should.

 

PR .8, Vista 64, 2GB ram. Vista uses 512mb atm doing nothing when I got into Qin Ling twice (With SuperFetch on and off) my RAM was completely used up, IE it was using 1.5GB's of RAM for 1 BF2 map?????

I have noticed some other maps do this as well sometimes.

yeah its basically quinling and ramiel, and some other maps like muttrah give me an initial PC chug for the first 10 minutes. i have 2gb of ram and xp so i reckon those two maps just need to be optimized (ramiel and quinling)

2gig RAM is the recommendation for XP users, but being that Vista uses a bit of memory, Vista users are recommended to have more than 2gig of memory to play PR.

...(With SuperFetch on and off)...

 

There's no such thing a superfetch command, it does nothing and is just a myth. There's no reference to it anywhere in the kernel in XP

 

EDIT: My bad, its a vista only feature. I dont use the POS so I wouldn't know

Lol slav, do a little more research.

 

It is no myth I got more than 256MB less ram usage after turning it off, some programs load a little slower now because they are not sitting in memory which is what superfetch does. From my reading it is a VERY good feature for Vista, far superior to the Prefetch in XP.

 

Windows Process: SuperFetch

 

It is definitely not a myth.

Not a myth, but I beg to differ regarding whether it's a good thing for gamers.

I know my pc is old and pretty crappy, but recently ive tried to give qingling another go since 0.8 has come out,

both times that i've played it my frame rate has dropped to an unbearable and horribly unplayable level while in a tank (whether driving or gunning)

 

ie 3-7 fps

 

now that ive turned all my settings down to a horribly low level just to continue playing pr,

the game looks disgusting but most of the time i can get through a map with only the odd chug here and there (even fools road is ok)

but qingling is just wrong from where i sit.

 

maybe related to memory, not sure.

did you try run it in 800x600 ? mine now runs fine

Hell will freeze over before I go down in resolution!

 

I remember when I first started playing BF2 and I had a Nvidia 5600,

I was lucky if I got 3 kills in 3 rounds running at 800x600

The amount of stuff you see in a higher resolution is just crazy compared to 800x600

May as well be wearing a blindfold

The day I upgraded from that card was the day I swore I would NEVER go back below 1280x1024.

NEVER!!!! :blowup:
