I know everyone thinks that this thread is most likely going to consist of some poorly educated kid ranting on about how crappy this game is, and i know this subject gets thrown around on here all the time..... BUT! im a massive fan of this game and hope it grows to be more succesfull it just needs some tweaking
I have been a SK player for quite some time and its only been recent to which i have noticed that the game has become almost unplayable.
if it isn't sudden disconnects, its not being able to log on, taking ages to go to haven and switch between lvls etc. etc.
OHH and the most annoying the walking around and suddenly teleporting and Skippy walking.
Now i know everyone will say its a problem at my end of the stick but NO.
I am experienced enough to be able to solve connection issues and crashes in many games when its at my end but no matter what i do these days i cant get this game to run properly.
I can play all today's demanding games on my new PC build yet SK runs like utter trash ive upgraded drivers , opened ports , custom installed 64bit java into the SK directory in steam (which i noticed a massive increase in loading times )
I have a great connection to the server, SO ive come to the conclusion that with recent updates to SK there have been compatibility issues with some PC's (maybe updating steams version of SKs java might be a start a 64bit version would also be a nice addition) but hey what do i know :P
All i know is my System specs and internet connection are overkill for a game like this so there's something wrong some where and it needs to be dealt with as from general conversation with players in haven i know im not the only one experiencing issues of this kind a have a friend that plays the game locally who is having the exact problem too so i can be sure its not a problem with my setup ( With six cores, 8gigs of ram and a GTX670 you would hope not anyway) i have tried it on other pcs in my house just too be sure same issue.....
And yes ive done everything on all of the forums support pages and wiki on connection and game issues
So im asking please can everyone in agreement with this please post and maybe just maybe someone will confront this issue from the SK team because at the end of the day i just wanna enjoy playing the game isn't that what game devs want in order to make some dough from its customers ?
because back when i first started playing this game it played smoothly that's when i shelled out all of my hard earned but at the moment i wouldn't spend a single penny
(EDIT)
Just to clear things up im using a fresh install with the original java sk comes with
....
logging on now to find i cannot connect to server FUN TIMES xD
64 bit Java does not make SK run better. In fact it makes it worse.
