4 gb of ram on a 32 bit operating system, something tells me op doesn't know much about physical address limitations. 32b can have like 3ish gb at most even with more installed, and even this number is highly dependent on how much video memory you have.

yall out there with 32b os will be perfectly fine with 2 as no game needs more unless they're trying to push hardware sales.

(my favorite pokemon is slowpoke, by the way)



This is actually inaccurate:

The short version. Windows 32 bit allows you to access 4 Gb of Memory total (2^32=4 Gb). But that is TOTAL memory, including your video card. so if you have a 500 Mb card, you can only get to 3.5 Gb of RAM available. 1 Gb vard means 3 Gb of RAM.

Yes, you can run a 32 bit OS with 3 GB of RAM. However it will run like crap and page constantly.

I would recommend 4 Gb simply because it is so damn cheap and getting 3 Gb is impossible unless you somehow find 3x1 Gb DIMM's.

Going with a 64 bit OS is highly advised for gaming, even if you only have 4 Gb of memory.

Probably Tyler, what spec is the video card?

Only question I've got is how much is the Founders pack going to be? Everyone is being hush hush about it.

I hope you guys make the Founder's Package be available for quite a while. I would love to get it, but I tend to not have any money when cool things come out or are discounted.

one thing would say about multiple founders accounts is make them HAVE to be tied to a master account, eve online is a example of multiple account game (most choose to do so after a time for various reason) by tying multiple accounts to 1 master account, it should stop some of the meta gaming, which is one reason i've argued against allowing friendly fire damage, I've seen other games where friendly fire was enabled, some will shoot their own team just for their own "fun/s**ts and giggles" and others meta gaming wise, ie ermbed a alt into a house/merc unit and use them to gain a unfair advantage so a match which would normaly be 5v5 ends up being 6v4, 7V3 etc.


and btw TYVM for posting the system specs :) be interesting seeing how my current PC handles it lol.

and much as disapointed with the date being shifted back to august, think we'd all rather things were done right than rushed and f**ked up.

Question I do have is how avail is support liable to be? ie 24/7 (baring downtime, christmas/new years) coverage or?
also please for the love of god ensure you dont do CCPs approach to tickets/pertitions which is anything UPTO 4 weeks time before you even get a response off the GMs lol

I think friendly fire should be on but pental to C-Bills should be applied for team damage

Changes for amount could be
Within first min or two of game more C-bills lost
In capture circle (of either side) more lost
Also damage done to enemy compared to that of friendlies
In a brawl stuff happens

But if 99% of you damage is done to enemy and you just nail a buddy because he runs into you line of fire
Thats going to happen

This could also wait to be implemented till after game launched

It was not a big problem till after WoT went live
Now you can turn blue and be killed with no loss

like i said, 3-ish. As far as your computer running like crap without the maximum amount of ram you can fit in there, this is just not true at all, 32 bit programs are designed to work within their memory constraints without crippling the system if their developers wish to make money.

And shame on you for trying to get people to spend money on things they don't need. The rate at which I'm being disputed is really started to make me think there's some kind of hardware/software pushing agenda going on.

So the founders mech will be something like a KV-5 or Lowe etc in World of Tanks?

It earns 50% more C-Bills and Exp compared to a regular mech?

The founders pack program is going to be a limited time offer, when it's going to be the last day for purchase it? I will not be able to buy anything in a month, because I would not be near any store and the Internet, I use hope to be here before.
