Horizons Really SLOW !!!!

[juddadredd]

I was seriously considering posting my own system specs just to take a jab, but that's not relevant of called for in this topic, although I'm confident my specs are better than his.

To contribute to the thread, I have certainly noticed the mission accept and claim times have been significantly reduced, and the hyperspace jump time significantly increased.

Fortunately, actions can be carried out very quickly, as in 2.1 it took nearly 15 seconds to load the mission board and another 10 to accept a mission!

Fly safe CMDR

Please post your specs as it's always nice to see what other people are running, it would be nice to see what you kids are using to try to kill with me with lol.

Back in the day (2011) I was one of first people to wire in AGP graphics (GT 220) and sound cards via a riser board in to my one of my HP DL380 G5's, had to mess about with drivers for weeks but it worked.
Dual - Quad Core Xeons @ 3.16ghz 32gig ram and it's now the Media server for my office. It had dual monitors with Sql Server 2008 ah memories.

Started watercooling in the days of submersible fish tank pumps, thats when you had to sit there for hours hand lapping a water block which I had an engineer friend of mine make from scratch.
It had hand coiled copper pipe heat enchanger and it was in a lian li case, with hand cut window !

Today my server room is full of HP gen 9's so I think I will win in raw computational power !
My top spec machine is Dual 10 Cores (Xeon E5-2650V3 @ 2.3 GHz) might just give me the edge - it's tasked to a rather large paint manufacture.
But it's so expensive that I'm not going to look up if it will run an add on graphics card, as I might get tempted to try it out just for giggles.

I have a few Gen 8's and some older G5's still in use for my older clients as they will never outgrow them, so might have a look at what I can do with one of them next time theres an update to download lol.

Cool! Glad you are seeing the improvements! [up] 372.70 has been giving me the best multi-game performance in awhile, so I am sticking with it for now. I am sure with a 3 monitor setup, the driver would make even more difference if something got nerfed in an update.

Regarding your mission loads again, you might be having some kind of temporary hiccup between you and FD specifically, thus your download delays and now your slower than expected mission load times.

As for triple monitors.... I bet that looks awesome! I haven't considered that myself because of the bezels.

They actually use AMAZON Net Services, which pretty much everyone uses these days.

I'm sat in front of PC's for 16-18 hours a day which is the worst thing about being the boss/lead programmer, I have never noticed the bezels the iiyama 24's and the Dell almost have the same screen size and as they are on articulated arms I can get them to meet at just the right angle. Driving games rock with them - tactical fighting games are poo hot ! flight sims are mindblowing !

Loved the Oculus tried one out in Thailand when we were on holiday, and was bitten. But when I first started using mine after about 2 hours of game play I felt too ill to back up my mates on Titan Fall.
Only played about 20 minutes of ED with it, but felt sick almost straight away.

And whats with NOT having the cockpit joystick and throttle move with the real life ones, that felt just wrong looking down !

Ah the Cloud - Tried to move over a client who wanted Cloud hosting as he had heard about it in the changing room at the golf club. (which is why I game and not hit balls, too many idiots)
As soon as the server went down he called me and started asking why his kit wasn't working, so told him that he had specifically asked for the Cloud and that we had covered that issue in meetings before the switch.
Needless to say I now host his files in house and we haven't had an issue yet, I'm all for progress but you HAVE to offer clients a solid service - cloud at the moment isn't up to where I trust it !

Just my 2 cents but then again I'm running a company so what do I know lol !
