I’m actually really glad that I waited until the deluxe edition was only $12.50 before I bought this game. I loaded it up and tried playing it on the settings that the game suggested and it was like playing the game in slow motion. Even once I set all of the graphics settings to the absolute lowest settings I could possibly find, for some reason in this game there is no “low setting,” medium seems to be the lowest graphicals setting possible.
I’m happy that I have a game that I can play once I have an actual gaming machine, but it seems that almost all AAA games aren’t capable of running on a laptop that has both 32GB of RAM, and a 4 TB SDD.
Why is it that years old games cannot play on maxed out hardware for the time?
Does your laptop have a discrete graphics card or are you running integrated graphics? Have you ever redone the thermal paste or cleaned out your vents / fan?
Old laptops tend to thermal throttle a lot, and especially if you are running integrated graphics that will kill your performance very quickly. Not to mention laptop CPUs usually are less powerful than desktop, both for heat and battery life.
Post your specs and perhaps someone can help you more.
It’s not that old. It’s a maxed out Acer Aspire 5. The GPU is the one on the board, but it is an AMD ryzen something or other, and I maxed the board out at 32gb RAM
