yes i did. its funny, the damn thing ran better with my GTS than a GTX on my system, the game was very CPU bound. Most MMOs are anyway, with all the network use. My performance actually went down after SOE had the game for a year. I recall they removed some graphics features and did performance improving which outside of hitch improvements hurt performance on my system.

someone posted a debug on rendering on VG a decade ago.

the problems were with something very specific at the end of the task. devs tried their best to clean it up and delete these unnecessary calls years later

it ran like shit for you because SLI came out around the same time as VGO launched and no game, especially not VGO was really optimized to use it.

It ran better on one graphics card than it did using SLI for sure.

Somewhere down the line they're gonna run into some cure Unity issue and get that ring imprint on their forehead.

I hope not tho.

No it didn't. It came out about 2 years before the game came out. In hardware terms, a lifetime.

SLI has always been hit or miss on whether or not a game would benefit from it or actually suffer compared to a single card. So much to the point that it's pretty much a dead tech now because the amount of games that benefit from it at this point are less than the ones that experience endless issues because of it.

I'm usually careful and almost never fall for a scam, but when I bought a 2nd card for SLI, and realized it never worked with the latest games (always seemed to be patched in a year later) I realized I was duped ;\

I had a 3-digit user ID on the Vanguard SOH forums so I got into alpha/beta free. The time wasted on those forums, for that game, is a far more egregious loss than the $60 I might have spent... o_O

I remember that, it's true.

I had a big post in old FOH forum how I built the best VG rig. I spent around 4g and the game did about 17fps. Legit

I enjoyed Vanguard, despite its many flaws (and there were many). It was still the best MMO I've played since EQ. I played WoW for a year, from vanilla up until the first expansion, grew insanely bored of the tedious quest hubs and instanced dungeons. Almost everything else that has released since is a grindy Korean MMO, or a WoW clone. I haven't found a game to call home since vanilla WoW, and even that was not as appealing as my time in Norrath. I'm not as down on the graphics as everyone else seems to be. Hell, EQ graphics looked like shit, even for 1999, but I didn't care.

I bought Vanguard because I ate from the EQ Nostalgia circlejerk apple-tree on the older FoH forums, thinking that it was going to be special and hard and would provide challenge that WoW simply wasn't providing at the time. It took all of a week of the trash fire that Vanguard was to make me appreciate what WoW had to offer. It was a steaming pile of garbage that just happened to have a few flowers mixed in.

It's only one of two games I ever regret buying.

I have no idea why Pantheon would be any better.

Haven't checked in on this thread in a while, anything of value actually been released or shown yet? Or are we still in vaporware land hoping that one day it's gonna rock.

They showed two zones. And interactive grass.

I'm not sure if their last reveal was in 2014 or 2018. Character animations still appear to be from the year 1776, but there are rumors they will rock before pre-beta 1812.

Also, lots of design docs from their 18 designers have been sent out; this team is great at copy/pasting text from the EverQuest character selection screen. No news on ship to ship combat that was teased in the Kickstarter – rumor is they're saving that for reveal #1984.

I wonder if this game is intended to exist as a ultra expensive niche - it just sits in 1k$ pre-pre-pre-prebeta and operates fully in this model.
