I've always found it ridiculous that many people still couldn't play ZH on max, surely that means they haven't bought a new game for several years? Anyway, I decided to conduct a poll, this being it. This should also help with mod development.

Please note when I say laggy, I mean offline. The game adjusts to whoever has the slowest machine online, this poll also ignores the game speed setting.

Oh and for the sake of a complete demographic, could as many as possible please complete this poll. Cheers.

Full settings, not a chance of lag unless SAGE dies entirely. And this is on Mac and on Windows sides :D

My video card can handle low settings with minor lag issues.

Poor me :(

So far my suspicion was correct, which is good.

I beta test my mod each Saturday, and I don't get any complaints about lag or what so ever :)

I kinda got sick of getting swamped by an entire team in the opening seconds, plus SHW's imbalances ending up driving me away from it completely.

Done that to everyone now, lack of patches resulted in a severe loss of gameplay fun, sadly.

ZH just works for me, can play full settings online and nobody lags due to that either :)

Sobek your card must be ancient if it runs low ZH with minor lag. I can run ZH at max with no lag at all unless the map has bad scripting or path-finding. Even my laptop runs it at full settings though is more lag prone.

Not really. You just need a new PC. Seriously, you've missed out on at least the last 4 years worth of games, maybe more? PC's aren't that expensive, you could spend as little as £200 and be able to run most things. If you can't get money, get a job, do it for 1-3 weeks, then spend the money on a new comp.
