Near impossible to do SS perfectly due to lower end PC

in PvE Discussion
I have a laptop with CPU and GPU above the min requirement but below the recommended requirement.
Have ran SSNM about 30 times or so with zerk and slayer.
I do not suffer from heavy unplayable fps issue,
but I do came across the problem where sometimes the indicators did not show at the beginning of boss fights.
Most normal attacks and Imp's 8 patterns I can live without it since that's how SSHM works.

But the pizza and cage mechanic from Dakuryon and Steroid Dakuyron is the problem. When the team's dps is very high, the mechanics activates faster than usual, which means not everything is rendered yet. So I can't see the indicators and I tend to blindly run with teammates, not so possible with cage tho. So I tend to die at least once or twice every run.

After that, usually, the indicators will work normally.

I have game setting to preset 0 and done all the optimization tweaks everyone has suggested.

I want to know if there is solution from some players that suffers same problem as me. (Yes, getting a better PC is THE solution, I would have bought it if I had budgets. But as for now, I'm looking for alternatives.)

    The only advice I can give you for such problem, is to ask the party to wait about 3min for it to COMPLETLY render, that means, after it renders, give it another 2min for the mechanics to load. Even if you're not in battle, they're loading.

    I know this, because I play with a Pentium 4 processor, Nvidia GT240 GPU and 4Gb Ram 1033, wich means, an OLD computer. I have the same issue myself, and that's the solution that works pretty much every time. Only when the party is in a rush or someone in it isn't willing to wait, I have issues on those mechanics. Other than that, I can play it perfectly fine. (Also ninja's bad optimization is a HUGE issue, having more than 1 or a Ninja and a Brawler causes FPS to go 0 from time to time)

    Your problem is more likely a slow hard drive (due to laptop) and not hardware. There's nothing you can really do about that unless you're willing to upgrade to a better hard drive or SSD. The only thing you can really do is tell your party to wait before starting fights.

    Thanks, I guess I'll stick to that for now.

    I'll look into that :pleased: . Always wanted ssd but so damn expensive for 512GB since duel drive is not possible on a laptop.

    What is your CPU processor. I always hear the mechanics not showing up to mostly ppl with AMD CPUs.

    Intel i5 2nd gen. Just slightly above minimum requirement (i3 2nd gen).

    EME minimum requirement is a joke:

    INTEL Pentium4 3.20GHZ or AMD Athlon64 3200+ / NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT or ATI Radeon X1600XT/ 2 GB RAM

    even the recommended is a joke:

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ or INTEL Core2 Duo E6750 / ATI Radeon HD 3870 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT / 4GB ram

    While nexon (ktrea publisher)

    Intel i5 3570 or AMD FX 6350 / Geforce GTS 450 or Radeon HD 4890 1GB / 8GB Ram

    I dont see how the same game have different minimum requirements just because the publisher is different.
