dⒶ₪dℯlli⊙n asks Aug 20, 2008 08:04AM are you aware that with 512 drawing distance you are lagging everybody two sims around?
DedFast says Aug 20, 2008 08:12AM nope... it doesn't lag much for me. But, stupid-high speed interweb access and stonking big graphics card helps.
AshaBrim says Aug 20, 2008 08:12AM No, I didn't. Mine is set at 64 because of my slow internetz speed.
Tenebrous says Aug 20, 2008 08:17AM dedko - dandellion means that if *you* set yours to 512, sims up to 2 sims away get additional load on them, lagging their avies

Tenebrous Aug 20, 2008 08:23AM didn't mean to repeat! Sorry - also I don't know how *much* lag you introduce, it might not actually be that much
Tenebrous says Aug 20, 2008 08:23AM you probably don't affect people in the same sim because the sim is having to deal with them itself anyway
Tenebrous thinks Aug 20, 2008 08:30AM we've invented a new term for memory. "NEW! Comes with TWO BUTTLOADS of Memory"
CT Xue has Aug 20, 2008 09:58AM a quarter butt-load on his spanking-new video card, to go with his full buttload RAM
MrFrans says Aug 20, 2008 04:39PM I think they lag you are causing to yourself is far greater then the extra work you give to the other sims.
Joankr says Aug 21, 2008 01:09AM Fascinating! I didn't know that, but then my draw distance is low cuz I only have a *butt-crack* of memory.
Jessyka says Aug 21, 2008 03:47AM I don't think what I have my draw distance set it effects other people. The communication for DLing sim info is between me and the server.
