dumbist ways you have died?

andwii · 12-03-11, 11:25 PM

So here is something that has been on my mind. I will often save because I seem to either have a habit of CTDing or dying in some really stupid ways, like once I was playing and was in perfect position, then im informed that im being attacked. Little did I know the game threw me on the surface even though (yes I checked) I didn't order it. Or because of lag when you go to do an order it does not do it. Its happend to me where a sonar contact was getting close so I clicked silent running and because of the lag it didnt do it no matter how many times I mashed the button. So I guess my question is what is the dumbist way you have died, and also what is your limit of WTH IS THIS that you dont accept it as a death and go back to a prior save?

Sounds to me like you have a very slow CPU. Or were running at high TC. The game rarely, if ever, lags for me, but I could imagine it would be unplayable if it did.

How well does that Ram Booster work and is it user friendly

flag4 · 12-04-11, 10:25 AM

www.GameBooster.com might help because it shuts down unwanted programmes giving more power to you system - i got it to shut down about 30 programmes running in the back ground. but with www.AlacrityPC.com i got it shut down near 100 unwanted programmes running in the back ground - but it is a bit of a devil to set up yet worth it when it works.

Ram Booster bit of an old app.May increase some percentage of (ram) in a rig, but now I do not think there are many who use it.There are other app. That is preferred instead,

What would you recommend Vendor ...

I have 2 gigs of matched ram and I can't afford to up-grade right now so a little boost would be nice

Flag4,recommended www.AlacrityPC.com.Try it,myself not need any app.For ram boost....I have enough at the moment, but it may suffice that you disconnect the internet to get more memory,

Danke Herr Vendor ...

You are welcome, good luck

Sounds like a high TC issue more than anything. I make a point to never issue any orders while in TC > 8, and then only in an outside view. If I'm running > 2048 TC, I have to hit the normal speed key at just the right moment tO get it to accept the command, so there is some lag at those speeds. AlsO occurs at tcs> 64 while near a port.

Just make a point of returning to 1 TC before doing anything.

Gerald · 12-04-11, 11:27 AM

The best is no TC at all,

Plotted the Kiel Canal outbound course, but forgot to give the order to follow that course. Sailed straight from the dock -- into the nearest battleship! D'OH!

This is what I thought the thread intended.

Did a crash dive straight into the ocean floor.

My crew does not know how to plug a leak...she just filled with water.

EDIT: Well I didn't order the crash dive, Bernard did it while everyone else was at their battlestations.
