And tell Blackhand Studios why you dont run RenGuard or use RenGuard servers and what Blackhand Studios can do to improve RenGuard so you will use it.

FPS issues, possibly higher lag (worse than renegade is already) in being connected to another network, lack of necessity..

I have used RG from day 1 it was released. I have experienced no bugs whats so ever!
|
Same.

It DOES drop the FPS a little.
|
No it doesn't, you just easily think it does. It could be something else, or you could be constantly watching the meter and seeing that it's 2 fps slower, which has nothing to do with RenGuard.

Regardless of wether you
have a kick-ass pc with a stable 75+ FPS , when the SERVER has 10SFPS
your game will 'feel like' 10 fps as well (even if you have 75+ fps showing).

|
Incorrect. If the SFPS is very low, you'll experience lag, not FPS (invisible) drops. I've played in a non-dedicated server and the host has had 10 fps, yet Renegade still feels very fast. I've also experienced the same in dedicated servers.

I can't be exactly sure that RG makes the FPS drop a little (i just heard) But it seems logical since it keeps scanning the renegade folder while playing...
And uhmmm, yea... my pc sucks...

I don't think it "scans" every once and a while, because then if someone were to change a file then they would get away with it until it scans again. RenGuard uses a different method. And ffs, RenGuard only uses 1mb of memory, there is no way it can slow down your FPS at all unless you have like 64mb of memory.

well okay, i tested it again and it only took up one frame. dunno how much that'll affect in a large server but you need every frame you can get. plus my computer has 640mb.(ram)

One frame doesn't mean it's RenGuard's fault. Sometimes I would open Renegade and it's either running one frame slower or one frame faster than before. That has NOTHING to do with RenGuard, it's just things constantly changing in your computer, your computer is never running the same speed constantly.

it was either the beta or the first version release after the beta that had CPU spikes.. would drop my FPs ingame to 10 then back up.. that was annoying.. doesnt happen in the current versions tho
so the fps lag was true
|
Yes, but we're talking about this version of RenGuard. It's kind of like how a lot of people don't play RenAlert because they didn't like the first beta, and they assume the current version is still shit.

Anywho, I don't run RG on my server since I have no players... imagine a $160 server getting 4 players on a 36 player server.... Remove renguard, and you have yourself a 36 player server... FULL
|
Yes, I can see that too, and it would suck. Hopefully, in the next few months RenGuard will be a lot more popular.

I run RG on my client. I don't have a problem and it seems to work great. I run a 8 player server that has been around a few years now and has a proven track record. I installed RG on it early on in the release process. I have recently removed RG from my server. Since installing RG on my server it was almost always empty and never ever at full capacity. Before RG server was always full during peaktimes of the day. Since I removed Rg server is once again at full capacity during peak times. Using a combination of moderating and the RG locator it is very easy to keep the server under control. Some how you have to figure a way to get the word out to the masses about RG. It's advertised in my server and on my MOD. I answer questions about what it is constantly. I encourage it's use on my server. I'm not sure of what else I could do to get the word out.

I have been using Renguard for a few weeks and have not had a problem. However I have been playing for a long long time and never used Renguard before because of all the damage I have heard it can cause. In the end so many servers now require Renguard that i gave in and downloaded it.

. I tested it without renguard and had the fps back. also isn't it active on the network every time it scans your /dir to see if you added anything?
