Multicore CPU support, anisotropic filter

[Karvinen]

Here's some features I'd like to see in RuneScape:

 

Multicore CPU support

 

At the moment RS can use only one processor core. Because of this, even newer computers have low framerate in crowded places such as the Grand Exchange. Almost every new computer has at least two cores. I have 4 core processor and RS can use only 25% of its power.

 

Anisotropic filtering option for HD

 

Anisotropic filtering makes textures look better. Without AF the textures look blurry.

 

It's possible to force anisotropic filtering from the graphics card control panel, but it would be better if it could be enabled from the game rather than being forced for every application with hardware rendered graphics.

 

 

A demonstration of forced AF in RS:

 

No AF:

 

 

16x AF - no more blurry textures:

 

 

Higher than 4x anti-aliasing for HD

 

I don't see any reason why Jagex limits anti-aliasing to 4x. My graphics card has 8x for example.

 

This can be forced with graphics card control panel too.

You have support from me. The game should cater both to lower end PC's and higher end as well. I hope they will have more technical features once they release their non-browser client. I hope we can eventually break the 30 fps barrier as well. I have three NVIDIA 9800s in SLI mode but I still get around 30 FPS in Runescape but over 100 in most other games at max graphic settings.

Good idea:, RS spends too much time trying to cater to 10-year old pc's with dial-up.

SUPPORT!

 

Core i7 @ 2,80 GHz

8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM

ATI HD5750 1GB GDDR5

 

Now tell me if 27 fps at g.e. is fair? :(

 

 

And max FPS in runescape is 50.

I didn't know any of this. Support.

My computer has a dual core but on 1 core it is slow. Unfortunately I have a bad graphics card so the main one you suggested wouldn't work. But I support.
