Hi,
just for info:
INF uses skeletal meshs for the player model and not standard LOD meshs like UT. These skeletal meshs are higher detailed and have about 10times more animations than the UT ones. The number of animations is not responsible for a lag on "older" systems its the skeletal mesh support in the latest UT patches that was still in some sort of testing phase. The system gets better and better but is still slower than the "old" LOD mesh system. But this system will allow us to safe memory usage if ya use different player models cause all models will use the same animations due to the skeletal "bone" animation system involved.
Older systems should lower their resolution and maybe switch back to 16bit colors as well.
Try to play with the min desired framerate that ya can setup in your Infiltration280.ini file (like in the UnrealTournament.ini file). The system will "try" to hold this framerate by discarding objects that the player cannot see anymore much faster. So decals and other memory expensive additions will be deleted if they are out of view of the player.
Online play depends more on the server and on the connection speed to it as on the clients hardware cause most stuff is done on the server, so if a server is a high end PC and the connection is good no more lag should show up.
The client is more or less only responsible for drawing the objects on the screen, so your offline performance should reflect the same performance that will show up if connected to a good server.
cya,
Beppo
