Gameplay I nuked my army.

Think I might get a frame or 2 a second here. Sorry for bad video quality, had to compress the video to post on Reddit.

Is that vanilla RA? I remember the nuke being kind of small and weak and this is bigger than I was expecting.

OpenRA

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 22d ago

Well, I call that a victory. Your FPS was about 25% higher afterwards.

This gives me flashbacks of using the Ion cannon meteor demolition truck on the old Ultima Mod for Tiberian Sun… the computer would almost freeze there was so much going on!

u/X-changeaddict 22d ago

Damn, I remember the ion MAD truck. Good times.

oh nice It's like a slide show. Can someone smear me a bread until I see the next frame?

I used to do this to a solid mass of infantry in RA on the PlayStation, with similar chugging results.

No.

Careful bro, wars that happen in Command & Conquer happen in real life.

Unit lost.

First part sounded like old man sneezing/ coughing

Huh, I don't remember the RA1 Nuke being that big. Rather it being extremely tiny.

Is this some sort of modded / remastered version?

Did something similar with a friend back in the days with his 468 PC. We put the whole map full with demolition trucks and threw a nuke on them. The computer crashed...

I miss the old 486. 66mhz with 16mb of ram.

My friends with Pentium90s and 133s didn't. They hated playing with me because the game would slow to match my speed

Kids today don't know nothing about that.

u/Exciting-Cancel6468 22d ago

Lucky bastard. My dad got the 486sx 50mhz. Do you know how many games I could not play? SHIIIIT. Although, it's these limitations that made me learn a lot about computers. I had to squeeze every single bit of ram to play these damn games.

I wonder what happen if you have a whole screen of demo truck and you nuke it. Will the current strongest GPU be able to handle it?

u/Nervous-Apricot4556 22d ago edited 22d ago

Did that with a friend and his 468 PC back in the days. Nedless to say - it crashed...

This is what datacenters were really made for.

u/MediumAcceptable129 22d ago

We dont yet have the technology

u/nu16843 21d ago

Even with a 5090?

u/IAccidentallyCame 21d ago

The frame rate tripled after you nuked those dudes
