If you need the classic client, it's time to upgrade your potato.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

My PC is from 2008. I can run 10 clients at most. With ISBoxer banned, 10 clients is more than I can actually control anyway.

So I don't think there's any need for a reduction in the performance requirements.

I too demand to be able to play Eve on my TI-92 calculator. CCP, make it so or I will unsubscribe my elventy-bazillion accounts.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

Real pros play it on their TI-83 Plus Silver.

If you cant do it on a TI-80.. or at least a TI-73, then you have no business calling yourself a pro.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I want a text-only version of the client.

I was pleased to see this reference.


Fast inverse square root (sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5f3759df) is a method of calculating x−½, the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of a square root for a 32-bit floating point number in IEEE 754 floating point format. The algorithm was probably developed at Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s, and an implementation appeared in 1999 in the Quake III Arena source code, but the method did not appear on public forums such as Usenet until 2002 or 2003.[1] At the time, the primary advantage of the algorithm came from avoiding computationally expensive floating point operations in favor of integer operations. Inverse square roots are used to compute angles of incidence and reflection for lighting and shading in computer graphics.- Wikipedia



there it is for you

WHAT IT WAS FOR: Inverse square roots are used to compute angles of incidence and reflection for lighting and shading in computer graphics.

WHY IT WAS USED: the primary advantage of the algorithm came from avoiding computationally expensive floating point operations in favor of integer operations.

I knew about that though, that's why I understood the reference.
