The Powder Toy

Wilq15

Ok if anyone can help me I will be pleased.

Pc you need.
2 Ghz one Core
512 Mb Ram
256(or 128) Mb Video Card SM 2.0 and DirectX 9 support.

My PC is.

2.4 Ghz Intel R
512 Ram
Nvidia GeForce 5500 256 Mb DirectX 9 and SM 2.0 support.

I've instaled last drivers.

All graphic options are minimal and on 640x400

I use Smart Ram and Advanced System Care PRO from Iobit Turbo Boost enabled. Options max effinency. Computer is cleaned and HD is defragmentated.

And now everything I've got is 10-20 fps maybe even less.

Pleas help me! (Game is original btw.)

Rconover

well I have:

Pentium 4

1.5ghz
1 gig of ram

this computer is very old from 2006 when I bought it and I haven't defragmented since 2007

it has no special video cards and w/e

I think its because of your lack of ram

Wilq15

My is from 2006-2007 and one Ram card is broken. So only 512 but this game should run in 40 fps at last!

Rconover

I just generally think its because of your lack of ram

powder toy plays at 40 frams

But I write about MotorM4X.

PT goes at 20 unpaused at most sims.

EDIT - Pleas help me there is any way to change graphic even further? Who know Ogre good?

I don't wanna go at Ogre forum and register for only one post if anyone have account there ask for me ok?

*Please do not double post or bump.*

You need that spec on top of your OS and anything else your running.
Example:
512 ram installed
OS: 128MB
WLMessenger: 64mb
FireFox 192mb
Anti-virus: 64mb

Leaves you with 64MB + swap to play with, upgrade your RAM and you should be fine

edit:

I use Smart Ram and Advanced System Care PRO from Iobit Turbo Boost enabled

Yeah these use RAM you could be using for something else

Without them 260 Ram with them 330 ram for programs and with ASC you can optimalize them "little"

codefeenix

Recommended:
o OS: Windows XP/Vista
o Processor: 2.0GHz Processor or better
o Memory: 1 GB RAM
o Graphics: VGA 512MB DirectX 9.0 compatible
o DirectXÂ®: DirectX 9.0c
o Hard Drive: 2GB space free
o Sound: DirectX 9.0 compatible

Just by meeting the minimum specs will never guarantee smooth play. Sometimes even the recommended specs wont get you smooth play.

Start task manager then start the game and enter a race. minimize the game (alt+tab or windowskey + d). If CPU % is less than 100% It is likely a lack of memory or too old of a video card(sometimes when minimized games will not be CPU intensive).

If the memory usage listed there is over 512MB then you do not have enough memory.

Eh... I remember that when I was playing on window mode I've got some Mbs free O\/O!

On minimal spec game should run smooth at graphic set on minimum... this game has bad optimalization I guess some even on minimal go at medium graphic.

Btw. Mod lock this topic.

Like what codefeenix said, meeting minimum spec does not mean a guarantee of smooth play. You want to meet the Recommended hardware at least.
