[QUOTE="SirWrinkles"] [QUOTE="Beowulf935"]Sweet. Hopefully the performance optimizations are true. So far, after checking up on the fan sites and official forums, none of them talk about performance fixes - only in this thread so far._Pedro_
Must not be looking very hard :P theirs a thread in general discussion on the main forums about the patches performance.
I'll repeat the game has been greatly optimized, but if you have a single core all I can tell you is you really just need to buy a dual core. I've seen dual cores for as cheap as 60 bucks! Honestly the performance boost you get from going from 1 to 2 cores is gigantic.
I'm trying to go a bit longer with my current pc before I upgrade, but is there anyway to test the performance with the patch without having to buy the game? I want to buy the game if I can play it, but I don't want to risk paying money.
No not really, to see the improvement you'd really have to buy the game, but I can tell you performance for lower end computers is pretty drastic. I can't speak for the difference on single cores though because I don't have one, I can tell you though the community has plenty of single core users who can play online 1 vs 1 and some maps 2 vs 2 just fine. Just don't expect to be able to play the single player with a single core as the games AI requires a dual core.
Multiplayer is were it's at anyway though :P if you buy supcom you buy it for the multiplayer.
The optimizations are for both the video cards and CPU's so in both areas this patch will help drastically.
And the X2's are definitely worth buying still, you could get a amdX2/AM2 Mobo and a gig of ram for about 150 bucks.
