Lagging on GREAT laptop

[Badplum25]

My specs:
CPU: Intel i7 4700MQ
RAM: 8gigs RAM
GPU: something Nvidia

I run on 7 fps and on the lowest settings 11 fps
Anyone else experiencing this? Ive never had this much lag on a game. I can tell it has a good chance of being one of te best horror/survvial games though!
Anyone know how to fix lag though? I restart my computer to restart my RAM and that didnt work...still laggy.

laptop ? why are so many people running this game on laptops ? dont get me wrong laptops are great but it wouldnt surpise me if they blow up from playing this lol

Because I have a 780ti equivalent in my laptop and it runs under 70c on full load.

Laptop is not for gaming. Having an I7 and an NVIDIA CARD (Wooooooow) doesn't mean you can run it.

Top end laptops are like medium to low end desktop PCs. You want to play games? Build yourself a rig or buy a console.

My laptop is like a highend desktop so nice troll. 4910mq / Dual 880m's 8gb vram each is as powerful as a desktop i7 with a 780TI. This is what I am talking about, people don't even know anything about computers yet they are a expert in computers and game development. Problem with early alpha's is not the game but the 90% ignorant morons who need to spend more time learning then trolling forums with there pure stupidity.

Who the ♥♥♥♥ do you think you are? I have multiple IT certificates from CISCO, especially one with the hardware. I work with computers and Laptops and I won't have a little ♥♥♥♥♥ like you telling me I don't know anything about computers.

I would like to see you taking apart a laptop and putting it back together. You are just a moron with an over-inflated sense of self worth compounded by a low level of intelligence.

Laptops are not for gaming. Their processor architecture and graphics architecture is totally different than the one in the desktop computer Their performance and power has to be decreased to prevent overheating and unstability. Graphic card is also integrated to the motherboard and is propably equal to the size of your penis.

Get your facts straight and do some proper research before you start bullshiting people about computer hardware.

Talking about stupidity I believe you are full of it. Only a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥ release from a mental hospital would start discrediting someone despite knowing ♥♥♥♥ about what he is saying.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ how stupid do you get?

I can't stop laughing.

i find it so funny when people say they have IT certificates or jobs in computers just to sound smart and win an argument lol

I posted this for someone else. THIS IS THE FIX : Go into Nvidia control panel, manage 3D settings, and then add The Forest.exe as a program. Then use the "force nvidia chip" or something like that. NO MORE LAG for laptop users!

[Hellfire]

Laptop, that's probably 99% of your problem.

Haha I agree.

Same problem here Running Nvidia 765m With 7 core 4th gen 8gb ram i get around 7 fps really?

[some 7 yr old kid]

I'm sure you've tried this already, but if not it's worthwhile. I too had 10-15 fps on the lowest settings, but it's much better now and I can play on the high settings now that I've done this.

First, update to NVidia's latest drivers. A new driver was just released on 5/24 I believe.

Second, open up NVidia control panel (right click on desktop to bring it up) and go to "manage 3D settings" then go to the "program settings" tab and either select or add The Forest on the drop down menu and select "high performance NVIDIA processor" to force the program to use it.

I'm playing on a laptop that has a dual card. It occurred to me the other night that the game may not be triggering the 3D card and instead playing off the Intel graphics chip. Again, once I forced it to use the 3D card, it's been playing a lot faster.

Hope this helps you and others out!

Funny that people are actually talking as if theres diarrea coming out of their mouths. 'laptop is not for gaming bla bla' I acutally played skyrrim on maxed settings on this one with increased textures, and several friends of me run the same settings on custom built PC's which have a same framerate, this game is in alpha and every tiny thing makes your FPS drop like the plane crash itself. Theres things like the seagull spawning that takes up to 5GB CPU at some point so NO this doesn't mean its bad for laptops, right now the game is not optimized thats why, I really like it to read random comments of people thinking they own all knowledge, for I am a programmer, I do know what's the problem here. Its not the laptops or the PCs, its the game not being optimized yet. That being said I'm gonna kill some seagulls with tennisballs now.

I'm running the GTX 780m and the game is running fine for me. Although I did reduce the settings to medium because I didn't like the GPU getting at 82 degree celsius. Which is weird because I play Battlefield 4 at Ultra and my GPU never gets even near that hot. I also have 24 Gbs of RAM, and an Intel i7 3.4 Ghz Processor.

If laptops are "not" for gaming. Then please explain to me why my laptop is fully capable and able to PLAY video games. Including all three Crysis games as well as everything else.

Every PC video game that has ever been released, my laptop CAN and DOES play.

In fact, my laptop is far more powerful than gaming consoles.

Setting the resolution to the very lowest fixed all my issues really strange since its still full HD for me
