Silkroad Online Forums

Hello. I am new member on this forums (but i was a "reader" for a few weeks ) and I hope that will have a good relatioship

Now comes the main part. My problem

I have a very weak computer (P IV 1.7GHz willamete core, ASUS 9500GE and 256DDR400)... And as you can see I have problems running SRO. And now with europe thing get worse. I know that I have litle RAM memory, so, a lot of data has to be cached in pagefile and that reason for ocassional lagging in game while entering new areas but that lasts for a short time and when that data loads into "real" RAM shuttering stops. And that's not the problem. Problem is starting the game. I used stopwatch and measured how much does it take to enter game. And it takes 4 minutes to load intro scene after clicking "start" in launcher. That's way too long. Before euro i could het ingame in minute or less. And in that intro, performace is awful... At first, there are many white part without textures and framerate during whole intro is, like 2 fps... FPS only increases near the end of intro (that building with trees, last "scene")... FPS is there over 50...

So my question is: Is there any way to speed up loading and entering game??? Maybe there is some way to skip or disable 3d background in login screen with pk2 edit or sth like that.


(Snd btw I spent half an hour searching and reading topic related to .pk2 editing and I nowhere saw anything about editing map.pk2, because I supouse that there's intro located.)

And I have a lot of problems with crashing the game. Somites I get "????" error, and sometimes client just exits, without any message.

That's it. Pls help me Thanks in advance

Well because you cant load the game correcly. This type of crashes cause the ???? Error. I think joymax dosn't know what it is, so they put ???? in the error window

PK2 edit can get you banned because its adjusting the client. So that aint a option. You can try to minemize the running programs in windows when you laungh SRO. There isn't much more to do except for buying more RAM.

i don't have those white part without texture but it take me 3-5min to maunch game also. i have 384ram atm but ima order 1 gb ram soon and see how it goes.

Well in my PC i got 1 gig to, runs not that good, but it runs. In my Laptop i got 2 gig, Runs perfectly
