Phantasy Star Online 2 Character Creator Released

That's not it, I am the same as him, if you want to know, he has two graphic devices, one is the graphic card, it's his ATI, the other one is the graphic chipset, the both serves to different things, the graphic card is here for the programms "heavy" like the games, and the chipset for the other things, like desktop, internet browser and so on, it's kind of a recent system which uses two different graphic devices at the same time, so if he desactivate his HD 6520, his screen will be black and he will have to reboot the computer. And the bug is, in certain games (like Steam, or here, PSO 2, the games only recognise the graphic chipset (which is weak, for exemple mine is 58 Mb, while my video card is 1 Gb) and so the game is laggy, but you can tell by your graphic card control panel to "force" the use of the graphic card for PSO 2, so the game will not be laggy. But there is one more problem, because he uses the graphic card but still recognizing the chipset as the graphic device used, so the game is kind of...forces the fps and other settings to slow down even if it's the graphic card used. That's why him and I, have both suffisant settings to permit PSO 2 to run with at least 80-90 fps constant, but the game is always running at 20-30 and we have low benchmark.
If you want to know, when my graphic card is recognized and fully fonctionning without limiters, I can run Grand Theft Auto 4 and Skyrim with max settings and the games are running perfectly fine with 90-110 fps for me, so I refuse to admit I can't run PSO 2 more than 25 - 30 fps all the time with medium settings.
That's why it's a little annoying to see people with worse configuration than me (and him apparently) obtaining a much better score like 4000 + while I can only achieve 600 because of the f***** stupid computer which can't recognize I have what it takes to run the game perfectly.
PS: Sorry for my bad english too, I'm not english

Ah, it appears I have misunderstood the situation. I thought he had 2 DEDICATED graphic cards on his PC. I'm more used to intel-compatible motherboards, which led me to not think that his chipset would have an ATI chip.</br>
</br>
My mistake, and I apologize for it.</br>
</br>
Still, as you said, there must be a way to deactivate the chipset graphics, and set the graphics card to be used by default. Maybe something in the BIOS, or in Windows' Device Manager? This is why I'd rather have only one graphics device. Less trouble to deal with when crap like this happens.</br>

PS: No prob, english ain't my native language, either. :P

Hint. goto google and at the top select 'more' and 'translate'. copy and paste the email and it will translate for you.

lol thanks T_T i was looking for a little more accurate translation... Anyway I saw the forum thread which got me through the download and set up.

I have an older PC. 7 years I think. My speeds were 2 FPS and a score of 5. Time for an upgrade?

Well I succeed to make the game recognizing my graphic card by updating the drivers, and now I have a score of 6474 on setting 3, pretty much good I think.
But there's something I find strange, I have the impression there's only the first setting which is grealty different, to me, the settings 2-3-4-5 are pretty much the same. There's is only the setting 1 without "metal aspect, angles, no grain, and no reflection on mettalic parts". So I think I will stay at setting 3, but setting 2 wouldn't be such a difference. Also I have the impression the test is extrem, there are rain, lots of ennemies, 3 characters running, many different cameras angles, explosions. Maybe it's safe to say taht when the game will come out, it will be smoothier than that (and after all, a game running above 30 fps is perfectly playable).

hey! i can help you get more FPS without any upgrades as long as you have dual cores in your computer. first start up the game launcher, then select the 2nd tab below the first one that starts the game. slide the slider down to 1, head over to the 2nd tab that is availible in the settings. turn down your resolution all the way. now click the button on the bottom right corner and 3 tabs will come up. click the first one and launch the game. let me know how it goes

.sorry. for this extra comment of waste of space

hey i know you go to the website and click o something but what? everything is in jp and google will only translate text and not images with text in them

It seems that anything above 2000 is ok, and above 5000 is worry-free. settings 4 and 5 have better shading, which you can notice right at the beggining of the forest portion of the benchmark test.

This is the best character creator to ever be in a free to play game.
The characters you can make range from cool to cute, comical to serious. The costume combinations can evoke numerous different stylistic and emotional themes.
You can make an eerie, slender cast. With an attractive head. What sort of human would build this cast?
A FOnewm with the look of a tired, skeptical professor. Or you could make the same class with a totally different feel. A drunkard. A braggart. And, as always, a little twink.
I love Sega. They're going to kick ass with this game, I can feel it.

For some reason, I need to download DirectX (latest Version) to play this and whenever i try to do so it always fails. If someone can help me out, i would appreciate it!

The character creator is great. I've had a lot of fun with it .
The laptop I play PSOBB & PSU on at the moment gets an average score of 430 and an average of 20fps. I know the score is quite low & I do plan on upgrading but does anyone reckon that'll play the game reasonably enough until I can upgrade?

Sorry double post.

Okay, so I've tried doing this, but it still lagged too much for me to use. The cursor was lagging behind my mouse movements by a few seconds anyway. I've got a 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo for my processor. I think you guys are saying that should work? But the graphics card may be a problem it's just an intel GMA X3100. I don't know much about computer hardware, so I'll need you guys to tell me what I should upgrade them to. The only graphics card I know of is an ATI radeon or whatever it's called since I installed one on a previous computer.
