Not comprehending the BV/SecuRom problem
blackvelvet:
I don't get it... I know there's a problem but despite reading many threads I just don't understand what it is precisely, in a completely computer-stupid way.
I bought BV, installed no problem, but the longer (in RL) I played, the greater the lag. To the point it was taking around 5 minutes to walk from the 'call a taxi' phone to the lot exit portal on a small/medium lot. Luckily, I hadn't played BV long enough to get attached, threw up my hands and uninstalled. I simply assumed that BV was the straw that broke the camel's back and was simply too much for my pc - I have just 512RAM, all eps plus GL and H&M.
So. Was the extreme lag caused by this SecuRom... thingy? Was it something else? I did the 'bypass the launcher' thing but I'm never disconnected from the internet (some sort of hardware problem; I disconnect, I can't get a persistent connection later)
Please, please, please don't direct me to other threads for an explanation because I've read most of the ones here and and at the official site and it. All. Goes. Over. My. Head.
I'd really like to reinstall BV, so I just want to know;
A) What the problem is? and
B) How could it affect me and my pc
thnx
Gwill:
No, the extreme lag is caused by playing on a fucking 512MB RAM PC! Seriously! Buy more ram or don't even think about complaining about anything else.
512, jeez...
J. M. Pescado:
NEEDS MOAR RAMS.

Wasn't complaining, I was asking and you answered, so thnx.
Jelenedra:
Yeah, moar rams. The min. requirement is 512 MB, but in the manual it states that if you have more than 5 EPs or Stuff packs, you should have at least a GIG.
It's fairly cheap to upgrade too, and easy to install.
