Kanes Wrath Graphic issues (i think!)

[beare10 0]

hi, i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me...

 

i've recently installed kanes wrath on my laptop, and a few days into playing it, the game play seemed to become slow and have lag-like features in single player / skirmish matches. i've tried running the game on the lowest settings but still have the same problems. although the game is playable, it isn't as smooth as it's suppose to be (like Tiberium Wars was) and its a bit frustrating. On CnC3 i could play the graphics on high end with no problems. though when going back to that game to see if its just kanes wrath having the problems, its also seemed to have slowed down.

 

My laptop is recently new, so there is nothing lugging down the memory, and after many virus checks, ive found nothing there. i've also used Speedy PC Pro on it to try and find anything that might be slowing it down. but the laptop itself seems to be running fine. i dont understand because like i say, it seemed to be running fine when i first installed it, and the original CnC game ran okay!

 

i'm no good when it comes to PCs / Laptops so thank you for your patience, i have attatched my laptop specs and i'd be grateful for any help anyone could give me.

 

thanks

#1. Making three identical threads is frowned upon here.

#2. Your text is unreadable.

#3. Try reinstalling the game, but deleting (and making a backup of) your settings files in My Documents and Application Data.

Despite you saying you have no issues with C&C3, I think your problem is your hardware. A Celeron CPU and an Intel onboard GPU simply isn't meant for gaming. Try reducing the detail level to medium (or low) for better performance.

He already said he "tried running the game on the lowest settings".

sorry about mutli-posting, i didnt think it would be a problem putting it in both the kanes wrath and technical forum but there you go. i'll try re-installing it, and see what happens. CnC3 did work fine, as did kanes wrath initially. thanks for the help guys, if theres anything else you could think of then i'd appreciate it.

Have you updated (or reinstalled) to the latest DirectX9?. Windows 7 being DX11 is irrelevant.. Dependencies sill have to be updated..

 

Are you playing the game on battery and on low profile (power mode)?. Try high performance profile..

 

Check the fragmentation level of the drive Kane's Wrath is installed in (I am assuming this is a traditional mechanical drive and not a SSD).. This is unlikely but can still cause slowdowns..

 

Do not play on medium or higher if you are indeed using the on-die graphics of the Celeron.. Though you can get past his by instead setting Shader Detail to lowest even if everything else is on Medium preset..
