Teething Problems

[Mega_Donkey]

I do not know if its graphic issues but I am unable to make full sense of conversations in the game as they blank out ausio randomly, I have to use subtitles. I then experienced fatal error which shut the game down.
I cannot find the options in the game to adjust graphic capacity to make it smoother so myay be too powerful for my current drive mode.

Please make adjustments to the settings where we can set graphic settings so it can be compatible for other computer drives. The settings are extremely limited.

Thx

Which OS and CPU / GPU are you using? Does your system meet the system requirements of the game? Are the GPU drivers up to date?

Edit: I ran into the same issue, appeared the HDD was not fast enough to catch up, moved the gaming files to one of my SSDs fixed it :)

I am using Nvidia graphics card so it should be more than capable of playing the game. My laptop is a gamer laptop. I play World of Warcraft for 20 years and been with this laptop the past 7 years. It may sound old, but its still extremely strong. Got a new motherboard to replace which is more advanced than the current. Just not got the money to pay for the replacement labour yet

That means nothing. Nvidia does do a wide range of different models, You need to check and tell the concrete mdoel.

World of Warcraft is a game from the 00s and cannot be seen as a benchmal for a game that originally was released to the PC in 2023.

That also means nothing. The platform is from 2018, mobile CPUs and GPUs are commonly weaker than the desktop counterparts.

If you compare your specs to the system requirements in the storefront of the game, I am pretty sure you will find that your system specs are just too underpowered to run the game as required.

Not games' fault pretty much your attitude's fault.

Not all sports cars that are with the colour red and have 4 tires are equally fast, just to make a point as an analogy to what you are comparing your notebook to.

This game is badly optimized, that's a fact. It should be better on lower-end systems, and should be silky on high-end. It's not.

But OP (and everyone) needs to read min and recc'd requirements before they buy. Nobody makes a magic patch so you can play on a potato.

Finally a person in this thread with reason! :) well, the OP claimed in another thread because it's an Asus laptop and did cost 1000s of Pounds, the game should work, because it doesn't look as demanding as WoW.

Also, the guy asked me for issueing a refund.I take it, that the OP is just lost. By his logic consumer rights will protect him, eventhough he ignored the system requirements.

Word. I've bought janky games that I wanted my money back. As long as I don't have 2 hours playtime, Steam is excellent about that (and even past 2 hours when I had a good reason). But it removes a whole lotta headaches if I check the specs and lurk the boards before I buy.

edit: If OP's rig cost thousands, it's not the specs. It's either a faulty rig, or more likely, an IAK error.

Sure it can be the specs . 1000 Pounds in 2018 don't bring you far anymore compared to what the specs aged like over 7 years.
Sorry, but I have to put you wrong. See at the bottom where I explain why.

The OP said in the other thread that he's got the Strix model.

the GPU is way too weak, as the GTX 1060 is way underpowered and has also too little of VRAM amount.

E.g. my specs are even below the system requirements (I have a GTX 1070 Katana, while the game requires a GTX 1080 minimum to run 100% fluent).

I can see how my GPU strugles, it is at 100% load all the time with this game.

They just issued an update to the Steam version yesterday, allowing some quality settings and VSync to improve performance on weaker systems. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2653940/view/4262175798103279153
Be advised however, as mentioned earlier, your laptop does not meet the minimum system requirements of the game, in any regard.
