Eraser55

amd dual core 1.8ghzx2
1gb ram
nivida geforce go 7600 256ram

winxp

oh.. iTs laptop..

WileE

I am running 1680x1050. It would be nice to see some video options for the widescreeen LCD panels that are becoming more mainstream.

Thanks all! Widescreen support is already in the new game now as lots of people at the office have these screens too!

Looks like we might be able to scrap 800x600 after all which the team will love to hear. We are doing lots to take advantage of modern shaders but we are also making sure we run on as many machines as make sense.

SingleShot

Even my "ancient" 3-year old rig (AMD64 3800+/X800 Pro) can pull something like 200fps with everything maxed out and vsynch off. Hopefully it would survive the transition (I'm already running into games I can't play, ie the latest R6)

I just hope the FF2s still all work. That's like the key to Jumpgate pwnzoraging, and what not. I'd hate to be a skill-less pansy that always flees from stuff because they suck...*

*oh, wait...

Thats what really bothers me about Vista, I'm not totally sure about force feedback anything that far back from Microsoft. If my run in with an old force feedback wheel from them is anything to go by (wheel worked, but absolutely no support for the force feedback), then it might be time to put the old MS FF sticks to bed.

Then drop it from a great height so it can never get back up and show the world Jumpgate is kicking and screaming its way into the 21st century

The higher resolution the better...

Any chance for 64 bit support or support for Windows emulations?

Wild_Bill

Hmmm... looks like I'll have to get another computer. Mine (running WIN98SE) will barely do the 800x600x16 on this 15" CRT. I'll find some way to play though Scortch, so don't hold back on my account.

Someone actually plays Jumpgate with FF on?

I'm more worried about how my original stick is old and worn and the backup got a slight bump while moving.

Guess you'll just have to get used to being Fatality Expert.

Thinks about sending WB his old G card to help him see the light

Lordo:

FYI... 1600x1200 is not widescreen

its the regular 4:3 ratio. Use any paint program that allows you to change image size with a lock on ratio and you will see that 800x600 and 1024x768 are the same ratio. Now, 2560x1600 is a widescreen res, much like one of the smaller widescreen res of 1440x900
