Gandalf14141 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Will RS HD be able to play at a steady pace or will I just lag like crazy because unfortunately I'm on dial up (in a location where high speed isn't accessible) so I'm just wondering if it's worth my time Finally on here to update that I have officially quit!

Laura Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 It should be, but it all depends on how fast this dial-up is. Try this and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDaStudd Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 You'll lag a little bit every time you enter a new area (this is only when you enter area for the first time), but once all the maps have downloaded you shouldn't have any trouble.

Jard_Y_Dooku Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You won't lag any more on HD than you would on SD. All the data for the HD graphics is cached (stored) on your computer, there is no extra network activity involved with HD versus SD. I really can't fathom that this isn't common knowledge.

Well, it's one of the most misconceived facts in the RuneScape community...Ah, so turning on anti-aliasing lighting effects, etc, is only taxing on your browser/GPU? Sometimes I would get still-framed when turning up all of those features in crowded areas, so I just turned them off because I figured it was taxing my network.

Jard_Y_Dooku Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You are both correct. A simple way to tell which is lagging: if the screen is FROZEN, your CPU/GPU is lagging. If nothing is moving but you can still see the animations moving and such (like your character 'vibrating' slowly or whatever you want to call it), it's network lag. Never trust anyone.
