have you seen their dev rigs?

they are massive

and awesome

i think your confusing their dev rigs with the crappy ps3 they have to tune the game down for

lol, that's why the software runs so slow and freezes a lot fo the time, because the PS3 can't process the efficient code fast enough.
I like you. You're funny.

it runs so slow and freezes all the time because they are pushing the limits of what the hardware was designed for

it has nothing to do with software or code.

its a hardware problem

thats why its funny that you brought up windows... l2computer

Its okay CCP, you don't have to continue to use Windows 95 to make your game :)

What exactly about this game is pushing the designs of the hardware?? You do realize how small this game actually is right?

that would be the hard drive... wich this game certainly isnt pushing

what you need to look at is ram, cpu and graphics not its storage capacity

just stop... really, just stop. im guessing you dont even know what the parts i listed even do

They're using something even worse:
Vista.

RAM, CPU, and Graphic Rendering are all done on our side of the connection. So what you're trying to say s, that DUST somehow is sending data that pushes the PS3 beyond its limits...

Funny, how no other game seems to have that problem...
That's why the simple task executions load so smooth and quick isn't it. And the graphics are state-of-the-srt, like 120 fps and 2,000 textures. Yup, this game has so much data just trembling through it the poor PS3 just can't keep up...

no thats not what im saying

as the only way the data would being sent from ccp would efect yoru gamplay is if your internet servace provider sucks, wich has nothign to do with CCP PS3 hardware, or anything remotely close to what your trying to blame it on

before we continue please state the purpose of the following pieces of hardware

CPU
GPU
RAM
HDD
Network Adaptor

if you cant get it right or have no idea what im refering to then you lose the argument completly

(or do the smart thing, google it, realise your mistake and correct yourself like a man)

Man, you must be fun in your computer tech class. Maybe you should graduate before continuing making yourself looking like a tool.

it runs so slow and freezes all the time because they are pushing the limits of what the hardware was designed for

it has nothing to do with software or code.

mag is a PC game... different hardware.

next gen graphics on a small scale is easyer to run then this gen graphics on a larger scale.


i never said WHY it was pushing the limits of the ps3, just that it was pushing its limits. i diddnt say they had awesome coding or that the ps3 was the ONLY limitation,

so way to put words in my mouth that were never said, if you can find and quote me proving that i did in fact say these things go right ahead.


so stop being a jackass, take your head out of yoru ass and realise i said

CCPs dev machiens are more powerful than the ps3

the game had to be tuned down to PS3 levels for it to work because of this

the oporating software on their dev machiens has nothing to do with the game itself or the game code, as you could do it on any oporating system and the result would be the same.

network traffic has nothing to do with ps3 hardware, thats an internet servace provider problem

OP has no idea how computers work and probably shouldnt make threads about how CCPs computers suck and are causing fails in the game.


so tell me again what i said and please quote me this time

MAG, previously titled MAG: Massive Action Game,[5] is a multiplayer-only first-person shooter[6] video game developed by Zipper Interactive for the PlayStation 3.

They're probably using linux.

Also for 256mb they're doing a great job. While they haven't pushed all the limits of the ps3 to an observable state. We do know they're certainly running into them (cough draw distance) which is a fairly common 'cheat' most other games use along with the no duh netcode. Most other games go all sorts of silly routes such as Extreme non dynamic LOD and bunch of other stupid graphical tricks that as long as you don't pay attention to it and will likely never will wouldn't ever have to deal with it.

I know the graphics machines used for making videos is pretty damn powerful.

http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2010/07/evga-shamino-dual-xeon-sr-2-motherboard/evga-sr-2.jpg was how one of the previous CSMs described the machine, they probably updated since then.

For example Final Fantasy 14 is amazing looking awesome, yet they still use zones an age old concept from the old days. Why? the PS3. Every zone is about 250mbs worth of awesome.

am i the only one who drooled a little bit when looking at that delicous motherbord and trying to figure out just how powerfulof a rig you could make with that?

(edit wth is the model number of that thing, i HAVE to look it up and figure out how big that thing can get)
(edit nvm found it)

Lulz for thinking the OS used for development has anything to do with anything.

That specific board is probably dated though, there are probably better development rigs out there. With a board similar to this eve is able to run at UHD graphics which they then shrink down to standard HD for the trailers. It would not surprise me if the current dust engine is being treated the same for the cinematic client.

i want it... i dont knwo what i would do with it besides hook up 14 moniters to it and run 100 clients at max graphics in a massive "multibot" project but i want it anyways

Run all your games at Hyper.
