Those classic servers do not look as if this was the case.

This brings a problem with slower machine users on Graal. Such as me for instance. I have to disable Direct X controls on Graal because my computer only puts out 450mhz of speed and only 8mbs of video frames. My ram is 256, so that isn't my problem.

I think Stefan is using a computer with about those stats for G3d? Anyway, get a better video card, or stick to those servers with more conservative looking servers.

Until the Graal program can be built with a better code layout,

Not that I am any more educated than you are, but I seriously believe you have no clue what you are talking about there.

As it already is, there must be some logical error in your post.

People have developed Graal clones that run faster and smoother on slower machines as if using Graal with 2ghz.
|
None of which has yet managed to get as popular as Graal. I wonder why.

One for example would be the Ancients RPG game. I forgot the whole name of it though, and I believe LiquidIce was developing that game.

Which may not be discussed here, even though it is dead, so please refrain from mentioning it again.

In order to make Graal run better on slower machines, the program needs to be split into different exes.
|
Speed is not direcly coupled with memory usage, therefore this makes no sense.
Quote:
|
Graal 2D and Graal3 D need to be different programs, not bundled together making one large heavy program.
|
Unbundled, they would be two heavy programs, which are more difficult to maintain and advance; porting changes to the common engine back and forth between exes. Also, I doubt there would be any performance improvement at all.

As for RemoteControl, that one is already good enough, it's orginized well,

And I really hope it stays that way.
How?

There is a way to make the Effects that require Direct X to run with less memory usage. Go look for it.
|
You mean, like a secret undocumented command line option or magical configuration file that will solve all your problems?

The smaller the program, the better it loads and the better it preforms.

That is not neccessarily the case.
