psu on laptops

[BigGoldRobot]

Anyone running it or experience any problems? Mine meets the requirements to play it, but the official site says laptops are not supported.

Im moving soon but would like to keep playing PSU on my laptop since my PS2 fritzed.

Any help is appreciated.

[Syl]

I don't see why not.

I know of a couple people who do.

[DEM_CIG]

I cant help u but i have been thinking about playing on my labtop since im at college and do't have my xbox up here.

[Dirkster111]

I play on a laptop with dual core processor, gig of ram, a 1600 Radeon graphics card, and it runs great.

[Oniko]

From how it read on the site, I get the feeling that, while you can play it on a laptop easily, ST itself will not help you with problems related to doing so.

So I don't really see why not. The only reason I don't is because I refuse to put Windows on my laptop, lol.

I run psu on my laptop just fine, i just have to have it on a little lower settings but thats not a problem for me.

[Omega_Weltall]

i'm running PSU on a Pent 4 3.0gig 1 gig ram and Radeon 9700m card. and its... OK i get slowdown when thers lots of techers but for the most part its pretty playable.

I'm running it on my laptop as well. Mine dosen't have the higest specs tough so I tend to run it on frameskip 2. I can run it on 1 when the parties are small though.

[mvffin]

I tried but my laptop wouldn't run it faster than 10 fps or so. I blame vista.

I'm on vista as well. No problem so far though. Perhaps it'll get worse with time, like a child.

[CelestialBlade]

I have no idea why but PSU just seems to run much worse on laptops.

[cApNhOwDy]

I run PSU on mine all the time. I have to put it on the lowest setting (except Frameskip 0 and far clipping) but the framerate stays consistently high.

Dell Latitude d830
Core 2 Duo T7250
2GB RAM
7200RPM Harddrive
Quadro NVS 140M Videocard
XP Pro SP2

[AlphaMinotaux]

My laptop Runs fine at 800x600 resolution. Any higher and it goes to shit. If you don't mind frameskip 1 keeps your framerate high in the most graphic intensive situations.

Dell inspiron 6000 (about 3 years old)
2Ghz Intel Centrino
2GB of Ram
7200RPM Harddrive
ATI Mobility x300 128mb
Windows XP

Mine actually runs totally fine at highest settings, but with frame skip 1 and 1024X768 (as opposed to my widescreen). And yes, it will run crappy as hell if you have vista without a top-o'-line laptop. Vista sucks, switch to XP, it literally doubled my framerate.

I run it on my laptop just fine, frameskip 0, highest settings, 1280x720 resolution. But then again, this is no normal laptop...

2Ghz AMD Turion TL-60
2 GB Ram
2x 200 GB 7200rpm HDDs
2x Nvidia 7950 GTX Go 512mb each (in SLI)
Windows XP

My vista laptop barely runs it at 640x480 though... (Lowest settings, frameskip 3 for it to run at a decent framerate).

2.2Ghz AMD Turion TL-62
2GB Ram
250GB 5400rpm HDD
Nvidia Go 6150M 128MB
Windows Vista

if your laptop was less than 1200 dollars you will probably have to run on FS 2 http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I run PSU on my laptop at college and graphically everything runs smooth and I don't have any problems. The real problem I have is shitty college internet that makes me DC all the time.

[Akaimizu]

Interesting to see it run slow on pretty powerful laptops there. That Turion should smoke it, but it oddly doesn't. Strange on how a machine specced to literally run games like Guild Wars at 1280x800, with no speed issues, even at high detail and rather full lobbies, choke on this game. (Today's Macbook (not pro), running a windows session, could do that with lesser hardware than that for gaming)

On the other hand, if you have a laptop like the Gateway 6831fx, you'll run this game no problem. Then again, people use that to run stuff like Crysis. My guess is that this game seems to require a pretty hefty video card. Which is kind of true. This game manages to give desktops a bit of a strain even with a last gen videocard like a Geforce 7600 with 512MB of video ram.

AMD Athlon Mobile 64 (single core, 2.6 GHz)
1.5 GB RAM
128 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Graphics Card

I run just fine (offline, mind you) at 1024x768 (PSU doesn't support my monitor's widescreen resolution, even if it were selectable, it keeps wanting to use some bizarre low-HD TV resolution (1280x720 or something like that, as opposed to 1280x800, the actual resolution of my monitor). Normal textures, anisotropic filtering, and post effects all on, detail level maxed, clipping set at medium range for everything (I think it looks better with enemies spawning just outside of eyesight anyway, so no big loss here), no shadow mapping, and frameskip 1.

The only times I ever get slowdown? Any area of Parum with lots of tall grass or those super-dense forest/hedge-maze things. Not even when berserk amounts of tech spammage from me, NPCs, and enemies all at once occurs. Only with friggin' Parum grass and hedge-forest-things.

I have no problems with my laptop I play all the time with it if im out somewhere You really shouldnt have a problem if its a new one with Direct x 10 :3

[Celi-Ka]

I've been using FS1 on my laptop for the longest time, until yesterday where I decided to test out FS 0. I was pleasantly surprised to see it ran as smooth as ever, plus it looked a WHOLE LOT better than before.

Intel Centrino Duo 1.8 Ghz
1 GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1400 256MB
Windows XP

This laptop is 2 years old and change. I can rest a little easier knowing this baby can handle what it can.

[norrisj15]

yea i got a computer n a laptop next to eachother. I definantly see a massive boost on the desktop version. my labtop was like a grand compaired to my 2 grand desktop. iono i would avoid it if possible might just be me seems all these other people r running it well but my standards are probably higher than most.

[PrinceBrightstar]

IBM G40 Thinkpad
Intel Extreme Graphics 2....ya I need a new laptop.

[Jukor]

I run it on a Dell Vostro 1400, 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo, nVidia GeForce 8400M GS (128MB dedicated). Runs fine at 800x600 windowed.

[Xefi]

i played PSU AoI on my laptop. I bought it recently about 6 months now from amazon.com. It has Window Vista. I put the frame rate to 2 and that was all i did to make it run smooth. If you have problem, maybe some of the tech support here on the forum can help some.

[Edgard]

I always play PSU in my Laptop... Its not the best laptop in the world but I got it for free because I'm a recipient of MTS & Coca-Cola Scholarship 2006.

I never experience any problems except when:

People excessively use pop-up messages (i.e. tab+message)

Thats about it, I run it on 800x600 resolution but I really don't need any higher. So you should experience no problems.

[Dragwind]

Gah, this is pretty discouraging considering I'm planning to get a laptop very soon. I was hoping to play AoI on it =/

I'm guessing I'll just have to stick to some pretty low settings.

I play on this: http://www.degadget.com/photos/Dell_XPS_M1330_2.jpg

At first i had issues,but once i got use to Vista no problems since.

My Laptop has its way with this game on highest settings windowed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif (I like to alt+tab)
