Alright, haven't seen a post about this yet, and we're hoping to add it to the wiki and probably the website as well, so if you could post your system specs and how GZ2 runs, that would really help us out.
Windows XP SP2
P4 2.4 ghz
768mB of RAM
ATI Radeon X1300 PCI
GZ2B6U3
Compatibility Mode On (since B6 and 2D Stages)
Resolution: 800x600
Vsync: Off
Full Screen: True
Priority: Normal
Static Stage: Small Glitches very rarely
Animated2D Stage: 8 Bit Stage works fine, anything else bombs out
Video Stage: No chance in hell, glitches all over the place
I know this is going to in some way depend on what Mod you're using, but just a rough idea would be great. Thanks!
[EDIT] I suppose I could put my work laptop on here since I use it for development of Mods and stuff.
Windowx XP SP2
Centrino Dual Core - 1.83Ghz
1.5gB of RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
GZB6U3
Compatability Mode - Not Sure
Resolution: 800x600
Full Screen: True
Vsync: Off
Priority: Normal
Static Stage: Perfect
Animated2D Stage: 8 Bit Stage works fine, anything else regular glitches (every 20 sec or so)
Video Stage: Regular Glitches (every 20 sec or so)

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 1.8 Ghz
2 Gigs RAM (more like 1.87 Gigs because Vista's a opinionated and hormonal character on RAM just by sitting there)
ATI Radeon X1200
GZB6U3
Compatibility Mode: Shows no real signs of improvement on gameplay
Vsync: Off - Multiplayer is impossible to play with it on.
Priority: Above Normal (Default)
Static Images: Perfect - NO Problems AT ALL
2dAnimated: Stages - same as static images. Slideshows - work w/ very occasional skips or lags
Movies: Causes game to lag majorly, drops the fps to a very low rate, but the game is still playable for the most part, just doesn't look visually appealing. Occasional skips in the fretboard.
Everyone, could you also do me a favor and say whether you have vsync on, also?

I don't normally arbitrarily bump posts to get a response, but cmon everybody, just post a few specs, even if they are generic specs and you don't have a chance to get everything exactly right...ballparking is more than enough, and if you only run one kind of stage that is fine, like I said any info is fine. Thanks!

Oh, i've missed this one, sure i can pass my specs. Machine:- Windows XP Service Pack 3
- Dual-core E2160 @2.4 ghz
- 2 gigs of DDR2 ram
- ATI X1250 onboard
Game:- GZ Beta 6 update 3
- Compatibility Mode on (if off, fretboard does twitching and songs don't sync)
- Vsync on (if off, notes begin to vibrate slightly)
- Resolution: 1024x768, fullscreen
- Priority on default (above normal?)
- Static image: No lagging, starpower glitching sometimes. Mostly i'm playing with static background.
- Stage: 8Bit works without lagging, with other stages the fretboard starts to remind me playing FOF.. again, starpower glitch sometimes occurs
- Video: Doing good, no lagging when compatibility mode on. Starpower glitches again may occur.
I'm using stranxk's S mod V1 with few textures of mine, so no actual mod-pack in use. |

Before my backup machine died I ran GZ3 b5 on:
AMD Athlon XP @2.0ghz (single core)
2gb DDR1 ram
Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 w/256mb DDR1 ram
It ran pretty smooth if I wasn't running other stuff. 800x600, still image background, 1 player only (2 players would lag)
Now I'm on:
Intel Pentium 4 @3.0ghz (single core)
2gb DDR2 ram
ATI Radeon 1650 w/512mb DDR2 ram
And I can run the slideshow-style 2D stages at 800x600 with no lag ever.

I currently run GZ on a P4 prescott (OCd to 4.0ghz), 1.5gb RAM, 8600GT and windows vista.
I previously ran GZ on the same machine but with 512MB RAM, and a GEFORCE 5200 and WIN XP. Its also played flawlessly on a 7300GS as well.
This is using the RB MOD.

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 1.8Ghz
3 GB PC5300 DDR2 RAM
GeForce 8800GT 512MB
Onboard sound
GZB6U3
Compatibility Mode: Off
Resolution: 1680x1050, unless it looks bad (stretched), then 1280x1024
Vsync: Off - Causes a 500ms visual lag for me if its on
Priority: Whatever the default is
Static Images: No problems at all
2dAnimated: No problems at all
Movies: Havent tried it, dont want to until its officially in.
Average framerate: 395 fps with animated stage
Another thing, I know hzac hates it when FoF is mentioned (I been playin that for the last while, I love the rockband theme, and way more used to it), but FoF hates my guitar's upstrums, so TTFAF, Misirlou, anything with fast strumming, is impossible unless its fairly short.
Guitar Zero on the other hand loves up-strum, and I can play TTFAF and the other fast ones no problem.

@mew, have you mapped the strum keys in a program like xpadder? FoF sees the strum bar as a POV hat, so when you strum up then down it will in fact strum 3 times. If you simply map strum up and down to C and V as an example, then in fof change the keys. The other functions stay mapped as guitar, just change the strums and it will strum perfectly.

no, it just hates the up-strum, it'll still do it but very rarely. I'd actually prefer if it strummed 3 times, at least then I'd hit all the notes, albeit with overstrums. I think the framerate may have something to do with it maybe, cuz I barely get 59fps in FoF, barely 25 in multiplayer (even jurgen), and yeah... just overall very poorly coded. GZ on the other hand  |

Yup, i can get 45fps max when i play, averaging at 30 though. My system specs are posted above, and there is no reason why that should happen other than a bad game platform. I mean geez, i can play GH3 with almost maxed graphics but fof wont even run well in a window!

Unfortunately true, because your gfx card has to try and render a game that wants total control as well as the desktop + whatever else behind that (videos, music, whatever). Fullscreen gives the game absolute control and priority. However windowed doesnt look as bad at lower resolutions.

Vista
intel celeron 1.75 ghz
512 ram
64 mb integrated(i think) mobile intel 965
vsinc off
compatability mode off
1024x768 resoution
and somehow it runs very well on this peice of junk.
thats with the rockband 2 mod (static stage), also works well under 8 bit stage and some small stages. dont work well with video, but works good with the vlc video trick.

Wow, that's actually really impressive. Didn't think it'd run well on that old thing.

How are you able to run vista on this thing? It must take forever to load up, and i am very surprised you can run anything on it... |
