Test server video
December 6, 2009 5 Comments
So, I recorded some video from my trip into the test server on Thursday. There were over 200 people that helped participate in this little stint, and it was a good time by all. I had a little free time before finishing my homework and whipped this together. It should be noted, that my computer is about a year old now, I Fraps to the same hard-drive that I run everything off of, and the lowest my FPS dropped down to was about 10, when I was standing in the middle of a smoke cloud during a keep-take. That’s performance I can live with.
Much thanks to Werit for helping me find the best way to render in Sony Vegas that results in great quality and better-than-acceptable file size.

I had the priviledge of playing around on the test server last night. It was hosted by Andy of Mythic, and we had a slew of folks on one vent channel all running around in glorious battle. I believe the number I heard told was 220 people max, all in Praag, with our “Oooohhh Shiny” setting turned on. I have to say, I was impressed by the bloom at how good it looked, with only a few minor quibbles. The even better thing was that I recorded about 30 gigs worth of video. My FPS wasn’t righteously amazing, but even during a keep siege with over 200 people in one location, I never went below 9 FPS with Fraps running.
