to anyone who is feels the dueling and land combat is SLOOOW

[Steve Day]

check your game resolution. i was watching my mate play pirates on his 3ghz geforce 5 setup last night and asked him why his game was running at about half the speed of my 2.4ghz gf4 setup.

answer we found was that he was running at 1600 res and i was running at 1024. (as we found when we set his to 1024)

it made an incredible amount of speed difference to the game when dueling and in land combat. God only know what the devs did to cause this much slowdown. there is no way the gfx on pirates should ever push a 3ghz machine. even at 1600

also at 1600 res he didnt seem to always get the firing animations during the land combat either.

anyway if u are experiencing slowdown try dropping your res (and ditching the lighting obviously)
