erado...I have to post this here because I cant post anywhere else at this stage due to new member restrictions.

Q. i am using a notebook to play Medievil but it runs to slow...totally unplayable. with the patch release, does it make it any kinder for lower end systems ? or is there anything that i can do to get the game to run properly ?

Shogun/MI run perfect on it but Medivel seems to require much higher specs.

I have a toshiba TE2100 notebook, is P4 1.7 ghz with 256k ram, and 16 meg graphics. I know....the graphics capability is low...but any ideas ????

Thanks erado http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

There may be some glutches with your sound card, try to disable the sounds.

mist, your specs are awesome compared to mine. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

Here is an old discussion on notebooks and MTW: old discussion (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=2;t=173;hl=notebook)

It doesn't sound encouraging.

Mist I play on a notebook similar to your's: 1G Athlon, 256 MB, TridentCyberblade 16MB on WinME. I set resolution to 800x600, no smoke or fauna, sound qual low, gamma correction low. Battles work fine, multiplayer not bad (up to 2v2), campaign playable, but with white patches that disappear when I either scroll left/right, or zoom waaaaay in.

The patch works, but didn't (couldn't) improve my vid card's ability to render all those map textures on the campaign.

When I first installed the game on my notebook, I had the wrong driver, now with the correct nvidia driver and a fresh game install it runs great.... :0)

Thanks to all who gave me assistance .... thanks to the mods for their replys.

See you on the field...

However I still always try to get a game on MI before MTW....but its rare to find someone on the server these days http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

That's good news, Mist, and thanks for coming back to report the fix. BTW, for the benefit of other patrons with similar problems: what vid card do you have, and which drivers fixed the problem?
