Ha ha! My response was to what Shirou wrote!
Um ... We were actually talking about someone choosing their wife's birthday over gaming, so you're a bit off point there. I personally couldn't relate to a woman who chooses to spend her birthday gaming instead of getting s**tfaced ... And what you're describing there isn't unusual. That sounds like pretty much every day in my house!
Oh Shrike that is ossims, and I am sure BlackSwan will have no issue with that
The more the merrier
I need to redownload my client as well before the weekend, there is a rumour that if you had the client from closed beta then you need to redownload it to get better fps.
Its a common myth that reinstalling before launch will help you in some way. It won't really. Reinstalling can help re-fragment the client, because most of its data is stored in huge files on your HDD. This can become fragmented. However, the benefit is minimal. Extremely minimal. Like you wouldn't even notice minimal. Add to that the fact that as soon as they patch, you'll be fragmenting it again.. its just a waste of time and bandwidth. This was confirmed on the forums a while back
For the FPS increase, the files are the ones contained in your Users(windows user here)\AppData\Roaming\NCSOFT\WildStar folder, so you can delete those to do it without reinstall!
You do lose most settings changes, and it seems to forget what tutorials you have and havn't done, but it was worth it for me, gaining over 30FPS (going from around 20 usually to over 50 constantly)
We think we found what was causing this and are making a change in the client so that if there are installations out there still suffering from this we'll fix it.
However, if you want to double-triple make sure, yes deleting your WildStar data in %appdata% has been giving people fps increases (usually only players who installed prior to open beta)
It's the same thing we used to do in WoW. What was that folder we always used to delete?![]()
Regarding the re-install of Wildstar for better FPS..
