Post by: mileb on November 07, 2008, 01:06:38 PM
Okay, I apologize if this is in the wrong area, im new to this site and I just really need help.

I downloaded the Sacred 2 demo today and it is running slowly. I have scanned my computer of all viruses and still have about 60GB's or more remaining on my PC. I am using Vista and here are some of my specs...

Display Driver:
Nvisa GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M (as read under dxdiag.exe)
1065 MB
RAM: about 3GB
Processor" AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Direct X verision: 10
OS: Vista home premium, 6.0

If you need any other information please just let me know, And if any of you computer Techs could help me out with how to get this game to run better, I would apreciate it :D

Hmmm...

Did you read the comments on that page?
Have you tried re-installing?

I did try a redownload but still no luck. I also can't set the proccess' priority any higher since it won't allow me. It will say something along the lines of "access denied" or something else of the sort. The recommended video card size is 512mb and mine is about twice that. My RAM is also higher then even the recommended. I guess I'll try and nVidia Driver search to be sure I have the most recent driver. Is there any known programs that could make it run any faster?

I dont think any program wound make it run faster.

Just to double-check, see if the game is listed here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
...And run the test.

already tried it, it isn't. Im installing a bunch of new nVidia drivers right now, I think it'll help. Thanks for the advice though. :)

You've got integrated graphics which will not run any modern game well, if at all.
Laptops are not meant for gaming, especially ones without a dedicated graphics card.

Yes, definitely. My desktop PC had integrated graphics and it passed minimum requirements for Age of Empires 3 but I was getting sick just trying to play it, but now I have a 8500GT, the gameplay is much nicer and I feel much better.

I'd recommend you go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest to see if you can run a particular game (provided that the game is listed in the website's list of games to look at)

Your computer is excellent, how come you're still having problem. The game itself might be the problem. Try re installing it again.
