Game is Lagging Badly

**Calopry** · 09-11-2013, 10:31 PM

Running Windows 7 64 bit
Laptop
Intel ® Core™ i3 CPU
M370@2.40Ghz
4GB RAM
Intel® HD Graphics

I can run the game just fine, it opens with no problem and the pictures render well - however I have never had a game lag so bad. I've turned off SSAO and put textures and renders on low and even turned off shadows and World Reflection and the like, yet I still seem to be unable to play the game without it lagging like mad. I've updated my graphics card as well.

Anyone have an idea of what I can do?

Unfortunately your computer is far below the minimum requierments and the graphics card is not officially supported.

So there's nothing I can do then? This is my only computer and I'm not sure what to do if I can't play this game on it.

All you can do is make sure you have the latest Intel drivers installed using the have disk method as mentioned at the graphics card troubleshooting guide. Close every background program running and run the game. Then set every game option to the lowest possible and try again.

This is what I've done and it's still not worked for me

If with the latest drivers and lowest game settings continue to lag nothing can be done. This graphics card is unsupported and weak for the game. Maybe try a steam file integrity check and hard disk defragmentation but I wouldn't really count on these in this case.

This needs to be said, Intel GPU's are garbage and people should stop buying laptops with them on or not expect them to be able to play the latest games. And even tho Intel says their GPU's support dx11 or even the old dx9, their drivers are so bad (and do not fully support what they say they do) and the GPU power is too low to be good to anything but internet browsing, movies and some old and less demanding games.
