[Feedback] System requirements, optimization

[AveWarren]

I was refraining long before creating this topic, but time has come to discuss a bit about what is mentioned in a title.

 

Directly from steam DST requirements (minimal):

 

• OS: Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 
• Processor: 1.7+ GHz or better (4x3.21 GHz)
• Memory: 1 GB RAM (4GB)
• Graphics: Radeon HD5450 or better; 256 MB or higher (Gtx275 896 MB)
• DirectX: Version 9.0c (10.1)
• Network: Broadband Internet connection (60Mbit/s)
• Hard Drive: 750 MB available space 
• Sound Card: 100% DirectX9.0c compatible sound card and drivers

I know my gear is kinda old if compared to some new PCs, but hey, we are talking abuout DST So why is that this game has fps drops on PC 4 times better than required for "client" not to tell about hosting which goes from Good Host to Bad in few days of playing. I figured it out that all you have to do is to explore map, there is lack of some kind of fog of war or something to relive hardware. Half of map explored = half of starting fps. Maybe there are some tricks for increasing performance i do not know. If anyone knows please share. I know its still a beta, but really? I have to upgrade my pc for DST, DS was running really smooth, no matter if it was middle of winter with massive battle or hard rain in middle of big base. There must be something consuming computing power too much.

Wow, someone with a worse computer than mine. I'm legimately impressed. Isn't the Host thing mainly related to internet connection, though?

Its based on fps of host, if host has low fps, all server gets choppy.
