WHY on EARTH does a silly little 2D shooter lag TWICE as much as a fully 3D advanced First Person shooter. Honestly, Crysis runs better on my machine than Cortex Command.
Yes yes, getting a newer processor (I'm running a 1.86Ghz duo core with 2 gigs of RAM) would HELP, but that's irrelevant.
Something like Cortex Command should be happy with a pentium 4. CC ran just fine on my pentium 4 processor... because it ran at 2.66 GHz. You're problem specifically is that CC doesn't take advantage of dual cores, and uses no parallel processing. (read: it only ever uses 50% of my new dual core)

Something like Cortex Command should be happy with a pentium 4. Imagine Crysis with every polygon being actually a deep volumetric physical pyramid. Now THAT's gonna lag.

(read: it only ever uses 50% of my new dual core) thats interesting cause it LAGS LIKE A FAT ladylike on my P4 3.2GHz, and not on my 1.5GHz core 2 duo. i think it just comes down to weather CC likes your computer or not. "hay this is cozy, 160fps" "hay this is old and scungey, 3 fps" <_<

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. A little "bug" im sure someone found ages ago already; the minigun's empty casings have high sharpness when they move out, they eat dirt and concrete like butter!
Played almost non-stop since i Downloaded it, its very fun. Tons of new maps and new gadgets to play with! Took me a while to understand conveyors correctly. They replace elevators quite nicely.

Not only has this been brought up about a dozen times, there are currently two different threads on the main board with solutions.

B) Spend a few builds making it run better. yes, this build runs better than 22 according to most sources. Good. Keep working on it.

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. Nope. But the main menu eats 20% of my GPU for some reason.

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. If you walk into it, you get propelled at a preset speed in the direction it specifies. No way to stop it.

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. Hmm, I thought it was gonna be more complex than that. So I just place it, and the arrow points in the direction it conveys, and whatever goes to it, gets pushed in that direction? Ok.

If the little blue thing off to the side gets destroyed, it kills the conveyor. That's a problem if you're making an elevator, 'cause the actor will just get stuck at the dead one.

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. be nicer if the horizontal conveyors only worked when the subject was a cirtain distance above the ground and if they were acceleratory (with a speed cap) rather than absolute speed changes. and if the verticle ones were actually elevators. but whatever  ugh im so mad, i had a bug i wanted to note but now ive forgotten it <_<

Re: So yeah, Build 23's up. i wish there was some way to save skirmish presets so they'd be there after you quit and start CC up again.

You mean like make a base, then save that base so you don't have to re-build it the next time you play? Buy the game. Then you can go to the scene editor, build a base however you want, then save it for you to load whenever you want. Make sure you save it as a new map, in case you ever want the unmodified... horiz land for example.
