You realize a lot of issues are currently CAUSED by Decal right? Because Decal is in Alpha and all... I wouldn't exactly recommend going out and replacing your computer just so you can play with the Decal Alpha... Chances are, when we get Decal done and working, it won't have nearly as many of these issues that it currently has, and it REALLY isn't worth buying new hardware right now when it is very likely that once Decal is fixed, your computer will be fine.

I can currently quad log (yes, 4) on my computer with a radeon 9800se. It's an AMD XP 64 3000+ with a 1.5 GB of RAM.


How? I don't run El/Life Tank. The way Decal draws UIs right now is horribly intensive on your graphics card.

I just run Decal in the first AC instance and the rest without it and I have few problems that way.

I run a AMD Athlon 3200+ with 2GB memory and a 512MB NVidia Quatro video card (for cad work). When I'm running Decal with Tank, I can log in three diff charecters (while muling), and the third runs out of graphics memory, and everything is white. This is why 99% of the tme, I run one of my other pc's to mule.

i just upgraded from 1gig to 2 gigs, bought 2 sticks of 512 from newegg.com


i didnt bother to upgrade the not so good video card.


im running 3 clients right now all with decal and lifetank running on all 3 while hunting, also have 2 IE windows open, IRC, and yahoo messenger while doing cam2cam and listening to an online radio station with winamp.


been running 3 AC clients with lifetank for 3-4 hours now and i still havent crashed or encountered any problems. i just hope it stays like this.


memory usage for 1st client is at 123,000k 2nd at 147,000k and 3rd at 122,000k. im gonna try running 4 clients tomorrow and see how my luck goes.


btw, all clients are running at lowest graphics and 800x600 res.

^How do you get it to run in just the first instance?

for me decal and drakier dual client got some memory leak problem .


saying that from far , but it s how i feel with using them .


still great code ( was not making any critic here )


i just think that obviously this is normal in alpha / beta software .


btw drak , even when i dual log with your dual logguer client without using decal i feel there some memory leak .


could be wrong .
