regal1975 0 Posted April 1, 2007 I had the same pointer problem with generals and zero hour...If I dont move my pointer, it either disappears or flickers.. makes it hard to function... I am also having problems with slow gameplay all around... My computer is: dell e1705 core duo 1.83 x1400 256mb vid card (current drivers) 2gb pc5300 ram 667mhz plenty of hdd space at max speed it takes forever to do anything.. I have updated to the 1.02 patch, but cannot yet get on to download the 1.03 patch.. Ive tried everything from 800x600 up to 1440x900 (which is what my lappy runs) with graphics from minimal to max and it makes no difference. Is there any way to see my frame rate or diagnose the problem otherwise? Thank you very much for any help you can provide. I love the whole CnC series, but generals and zero hour had so many glitches with multiplayer etc skipping and I had high hopes for the new game. Thanks! Share this post Link to post
illumenatis 0 Posted April 2, 2007 This should really belong in the Tech and Hardware support forum but oh well. Sadly, i cant really help you with your problem as Ive never had experience in dealing with framerates so... Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 7 Posted April 2, 2007 Ummm... 1. Tune it down. You ain't going to play it at max, your laptop is not able to play it at max. So when its slows down, the laptop is saying "WTF TUNE IT DOWN BEFORE I BURRRRRRRN" 2. Overheating. Laptops, especially when gaming, overheat. You might go down to medium and start to play a game and think it's at okay speed then it will slow down and maybe even crash. That's basically overheating, and my friend gets that with his laptop a lot. Share this post Link to post
