i meet the minimum requirements but even with the lowest settings theres still lag i heard if you can run RTW on high you can run M2TW on medium i can run RTW on high but not M2TW even on low whats the problem?

i may have a solution, could it slow down if your drivers aren't up to date and if so how do you do that?

Yeah, old video drivers can definitely cause a problem. To update them, you usually need to visit the website of the card's manufacturer.

Ive tried that but cant seem to get it to work. But im really bad with this kind of stuff

Charles the hammer 01:42 09-24-2008

if you could explain it to me it would be nice because it is extremely frustrating

Truth be told, I'm probably not the best person to talk you through it. My technical knowledge is about as limited as yours is.

Honestly, I recommend you post your problem in the Apothecary. The guys there should be able to help you out if anyone can.

try running the game using SMALL units, if you use LARGER units it might overwhelm your CPU, speaking of CPU, what do you have? and what kind of Video Card do you have?

what do you have for units settings? Huge? Normal? Does it lag? like the flags move really slow? give details what happens during your battles. try using Small units.

Thats your problem there. it is integrated and frankly, not a good integrated GPU either. There wouldn't really be any problem other than M2TW is one generation later so it is more optimized for new hardware. I doubt there is much you could do to improve the lag other than getting a new GPU, which means getting a new laptop

well ive played on both lowest nd highest settings it lags on highest settings nd runs about half the speed it should nd on lowest it is a little better but still not good enough to play.... nd to tevash so ur sayin i need a graphics card? well ive heard u can increase the clock speed on ur computer to make it run faster... would that help

Well thats overclocking. It might barely work, but then you're going to end up with a really hot unstable system. I would recommend just not playing M2TW on that laptop
