I own it and don't have it installed... last time I played it there was only 1 server in my region. I decided I liked the extra space on my hard drive more.
[QUOTE="wigan_gamer"]If you can run it that is :) I enjoy this game... I find it oddly relaxing. Relaxing? I find it throw-upy, not because it's bad but because of all the floating around
remember trying to run this on a pentium d 3.16mhz cpu..lol i couldn't kept getting booted in the matches instantly..lol im not even gonna try to download this again.
[QUOTE="anolecrabcf"][QUOTE="wigan_gamer"]If you can run it that is :) I enjoy this game... I find it oddly relaxing. Relaxing? I find it throw-upy, not because it's bad but because of all the floating around Haha I love it :) it calms me down after some rage induced FPS or LoL.
I run it at 45-50 fps with my 4870 and X4 II 920 without turning on ambient occlusion, I don't even know what it does. For me it's just a fancy word for video card rape.
How demanding is this game compared to lets say ... Crysis? SAGE_OF_FIRE
Don't use AA and it'll be easy on the GPU. The only game that actually uses DX 10, which as advertised looks better and performs better than DX 9. It's a superb game for its extremely low requirements.

It's a superb game for its extremely low requirements. I can run crysis fine, but I want to know how it compares? If I can run Crysis at like 30fps average, what do you think I'll run this at?
Maxed out, blur on medium, at 1680x1050 and 2xAA Crysis (after the patches) ran at about minimum 20 frames on my PC (8800GT, Q6600 and 4 gb of RAM) and Shattered Horizon maxed out except shadows that was on balance at 1680x1050 no AA ran at around 55 frames on average, minimum was around 40 and imo it looks just as good as Crysis, even better (but Crysis still has an edge because of the water :P) so you shouldn't have any problems, but there were quite a few issues with it, players with great graphics cards complained about bad performance at lower settings than what I played on.
Wow I actually can run it, through I think I can't go any higher than low settings, so the graphics looks pretty rough in some places.:P The game itself seems to be good through. I like this being in space. It makes this game feel more fresh then many FPS out there these days. I just need to get used to the controls through. I probably get the game if I like it alot.
Edit: Actually I seem to be on Medium settings with some things turn off. I probably mess around with the options, through I should probably avoid adding AA.

It's about as demanding as Crysis give or take a little. My laptop can actually run Crysis better than it can SH (specs are 2.26GHz centrino 2, 4GB RAM, 9800m GTS). My desktop, on the other hand, can run SH better than it can Crysis (specs for it are i7 930 @ 4.01GHz, 6GB RAM, HD5970).
Starting to get the hang of the controls and I having fun with this game despite some frame rate drops and not being able to get on a server at times. I might get it then since it only $10 now. Another FPS that feels fresh and unique.:)
seems like something that would be great fun for awhile, I guess its worth trying now.

Its worth buying now... they halfed the price of the game this weekend also, and it is easily worth the 10 dollars... it is a shame that more people haven't bought it. 20 dollars is a great price as well.
Can anyone actually connect to a server? Every time I try to play...it scans for servers and reports none back....or it finds like 10 and I choose one...it starts loading the level.....and then I get disconnected from the server :( It also seems to be monopolizing my PC's ability to connect to the Internet (I can't browse the web while its trying to load the level for the server.) Any tips?
