Which is the Best DAoC Client

[Darkmack]

ToA ghetto ftw not tried new toa but ive heard its kinda laggy

 

[Gamah]

What happens if u bought Cata and use the free toa/si/classic thats installed with it and cant open the ToA client like me

I use catacombs one anyway cos old graphics are ugly but i was thinking more for my buffbott account when i get it

DR with old player models and new horsies!

Ditto :]

What's "New ToA"?

 

[charmangle]

Well ToA works for me, Cata/DR is crap...

Well for effectiveness ToA works, (Ive heard that SI is even better but not sure if it works any more etc)

Cata/DR has a strange 1 second or so lag on animations when you start a spamcycle, both in melee and spellcasting, meaning that it has a tendancy to put your timing off. But it looks alot nicer if thats more important! And ToA has most of the nifty new stuff that has been added in the game.

I use the DR Client. Even with 150+ Enemies in the Area and all settings maxed (All shadows, AA max, Anisopblabla max) i have no bad fps or lag. And i don't have the super duper monster pc. And i run a second Account at the same time on the same machine!

Best thing you can do for Daoc is having alot of Ram!

dito

 

[Andrilyn]

DR with the settings it came with (max?), will keep running the latest client untill it will get laggy which hasn't happend yet.

 

[Straef]

I always use the ToA client, as it runs smooth enough, or as smooth as DAoC will run

 

[Magicthise]

Classic DAOC pre SI.... Simpler days

 

[Jarroman]

i vote dr client with old models too! all said above!

 

[Basic_X]

Since you have everything maxed, whats you resolution? Doubt its above 1600x1200 then?

Frankly what effects you have on and off wont matter shit. What matters it the resolution.

1280x1024...thats the native resolution of my tft.But i doubt i would have problems with 1600x1200 or above if i had a monitor who could do that.The resolution doesnt change the fact that the daoc engine is too old to give pc systems of today any headache.

 

[atos]

Well I tried running DR on full GFX in full res on my CRT monitor. Don't recal exactly was max res is, about 2***x1200 or something. Got pretty bad FPS. Then again my system has a few years on its back. 128mb ATI Radeon Pro, 3ghz p4, 1gb ram PC3200 WDC Raptor 10k rpm hdd.

I suppose a newer system could handle it? ^^

 

[BloodOmen]

Also agree strange as it sounds i prefer toa to catas/dr... the models in dr look abysmal :/ a sad attempt to vamp up an old game.. in short if you can't vamp it up good enough.. don't touch it ^^ camelot/si/toa all the way! + lurikeens are leet old model xD

 

[Rush]

What's "New ToA"?

DR client w/o cata and DR zones files, ie: smaller hd space.

and btw: Old toa ftw.

Urs could to if u had more ram on ur gfx card. Ram on gfx card = able to run higher resulotions.

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

ToA for me is alot more stabile, less lagg, less fps drops. Smoother all in all.

Besides I don't fancy the new DR graphics at all, looks shit imo.

Somthing tells me running DR with highest resul and settings would lagg on a Overkill2x comp. ;o..

 

[duact]

si client > all!111

 

[Eleasias]

toa of rox

 

[Elkie]

might just be me but i find it easier duel logging on dr client :/ but i like to rvr in toa client xD toa wins on rvr side.

and cata graphics = the lose

 

[Kaun_IA]

New pc inc, cba to have lots of clients and shit, which is best client for daoc rvr wise? i remember catacombs being all melee laggy and shit ;/

depends on comp really... other clients run crap on my PC exept DR client

cant rvr whit cata and tao aint that good

 

[liloe]

I voted DR cause it looks better imo =)

 

[censi]

cata and dr clients are fucking awefull.

I thought this when they first came out.

I thought i would give the DR client a bash, but omg the little delay u get with everything. its a tiny delay but it is like annoying. It judders more than the TOA one. The noses are awefull, sounds like closing a car down when u hit someone and the time of the noise it comes well after the strike.

using cata or dr client is a definite no go.

the TOA one is crisp and fast. simply cant believe any players would use the others to be honest.

(and its not my comp i run duel core with 2 gig ram raptor sat drives and gtx 7800)

 

[GimmlyTheDorf]

ToA, I have only used Cata for darkspire and ToA for everything else. The game engine in Cata is terrible and so are the models.

neh, the delay is related to cata models, not the client itself. dr with classic models runs more crisp for me then toa does

Hmm i have the same PC components apart from the harddrive and no problems at all with it. No Delays, no lag, no bad fps while using the DR Client and having a second account running on the same pc.
