Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The stupid "Low Resources" thing and the taking 7 minutes to upload a post. Is this a "My coumputer" Problem or the sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Mine's working fine. Try using a different browser if you have one. Sometimes that works, for me anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I didn't notice any difference, it's just as slow as usual (My connection's so slow, no website ever loads up unless I use Chrome). Its probably your connection, unless your computer is so slow that your browser is finding its allocated resources inadequate to even render the transferred webpages.

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 How often do you clear your browser history? If left long enough, apparently it can clog up your system and make some pages run slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Your welcome I really have to get a new computer. A PC, not a laptop. I need something that can hold 1000 games easily without being slow. This old piece of junk just wont cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You should look into getting an external hard drive. Not only can you unload all your stuff off of your computer, you can transfer on to others as well. Makes a lot less hassles when backing up your system as well.

Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Err, well, How much do these cost? And where can I buy them? I have a walmart only a few miles away... However, our car broke down. No time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm not sure about Wal-mart, we don't have them in Australia. Most places now that sell electrical stuff like TV's, computers and stuff should have them. The good thing about computers and most of the stuff to go with them are getting cheaper. Apart from that I wouldn't know abut how cheap it would be over there in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Curses. Allwell. If its not too expensive, I may be able to buy it. I get 100 dollars from my parents every year when we get our tax returns They couldn't say,"No,Its too expensive" For that! If its $101 though...

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Here in Australia you can pick one up from about $70 to $150 max. Don't go by that completely though. You might be able to get them cheaper, who know's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Coolio. By percentage, how much do you think it will speed up my system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It doesn't directly speed up your system, it will just make it less laggy and what not from not having an over full hard drive. If anything it should help get it back to what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nice. It is maybe, 6-10 years? I have no idea really. Being without the lag would be nice. I will definetly have to look into this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 An external hard drive is really only helpful if your computer is absolutely full. When it is, you can get slowdowns. If you've got a few gigabytes free, you don't need an external hard drive, although I still think they're handy for storing extra stuff and transferring. —Alorael, who doesn't think there's much that will help a decade old computer. It's just old and tired. It's getting to be about time to put it out to pasture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my external hard drive mainly for archival purposes, although in my case, "external hard drive" means "an internal hard drive I put in an enclosure."

It's getting to be about time to put it out to pasture. Yeah, a computer that old is pretty much considered ancient by current standards, and slowdowns (and breakdowns) are all but expected. I had to retire my dad's old Windows XP computer earlier this year, because the hardware kept going wacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed, even on newer computers, that having half to two thirds of your hard drive full can make it really laggy. Older computers more so.

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The Low Resources has been happening to me on and off for the last few months. I just go do something else when it happens. As for external hard drives. I just use one as a back up. Backup the computer once a month or after big change/download. I find that I don't add or change anything often enough to need to backup more then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Interesting. A perusal of the Datalinks indicate that animated shows on Earth were watched outside of their target demographic, and images from them were used as communication. Bah! Adults watching children's cartoons! Abhorrent! Surely these adults were allowed to choose what leisure activities they desired. But why pollute your communications with images made by soft money-grabbing capitalists? You say that like it's a bad thing. It is the memescape, the collective understanding. As more and more of the people partake in the show, its images can be used as shorthand. Of course, if the show is not widely watched within the community, all that is accomplished is wasting the time of the collective. IMMA RUNNIN NAKED THROUGH THE TREES!! TRA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 As my laptop limps along on one working fan, I'm looking into getting a new Mac. But if I do, I'll no longer have any way to run Alpha Centauri. Yes, I appreciate how amazingly well an unpaid Carbon version has worked for over a decade after the game came out, but I'll miss it. —Alorael, who now either needs to get SheepShaver working, get another Windows installation and mess with the settings to get it installed and running, or get Windows, give up on Alien Crossfire, and get it from Good Old Games.

Yeah, Miriam will run Power if she ever gets the technology, and I often see Santiago running Fundamentalist. They're instant buddies! I think it makes more sense for Santiago to run a police state (+3 Police!) but then again I'm not the AI. (The AI plays the Spartans okay. It's just flat out terrible playing the Morganites) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Originally Posted By: Excalibur It's just flat out terrible playing the Morganites Agreed. I'm told that the Morganites, played correctly, are one of the more powerful factions, though I never got the hang of playing them. Maybe next time. But I have never seen a single game where they were doing passably. Either I found and crushed them, or a computer faction crushed them first.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The Morganites are my favorite faction and I can achieve victory with them sooner than any other faction (although Lal comes close with his rapid population growth). The faction I have a hard time with is the Hive. I'm a bit surprised that the designers didn't come up with a better AI for Morgan, because it fails at everything Morgan should be doing. Click to reveal.. (Why the AI sucks at Morgan) - The AI rarely uses supply crawlers, bun when they do, they usually don't use them for energy. Additionally, they never ever armor them or give them proper defense against mindworms. Aaaand, when it does convoy energy it doesn't build economic facilities in the base, effectively making it useless. - The AI sucks at terraforming and rarely builds boreholes. - The AI generally only rushes units but not base facilities or secret projects. - The AI doesn't build enough base facilities in the first place, and doesn't properly take advantage of tree farms. - The AI generally won't upgrade to clean reactor units. - The AI doesn't expand quickly enough and sits there with five or six bases (if that). - The AI seems to think that probe teams are invisible the entire game and uselessly throws them in front of enemy units. - The AI needlessly moves its military units outside its borders causing drone riots. - Whenever AI Morgon is attacked he often builds up a ton of units that he can't support, so he switches to Police State and Power and effectively kills himself.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My fastest victory (still taking at least a century) usually comes with the university, but that's because I almost always play the long game and go for Transcendence. But I don't actually have much tactical skill, and still leave a lot of things (terraforming, base resources, unit design aside from specialty units like air-droppable probes & colony pods) to the suboptimal AI.
