Best settings playing on laptop?

[jamesboi8]

Occasionally I have experienced the game crashing when I move to another location (loading screen) and while saving the game as a message comes up in the menu saying "Loading... please wait" or something like that then it closes itself off or "force quits" then I lose my progress.
As this title states, what ARE the BEST settings used while playing the game (X and X-2 btw) on Acer laptop? Settings as in, gameplay settings, graphical settings because it's HD Remaster and should I play this on full screen or not if I occasionally encounter crashes and/or force quits?

I don't actually lose a lot of in-game progress but thankfully the auto save feature remembers where I was last time but not all the time so I have to go through all the grind again which is a pain!

The "best" settings are the settings that work with your particular machine.
I for example did not experience crashes or other problems and am just playing at maxed settings.

So - what is your setup? Just saying the name of a brand tells us absolutely nothing, it is kinda like saying you get a VW. What CPU, Memory, GPU, display, SSD/HDD ?

These are the details of my laptop:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.11 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.80 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
And it's Acer Aspire 5 and I had this since April 2020

You might want to not show things like your full name, year of birth, or device/production-IDs.

Does your model come with a GPU (dedicated graphics-card)?
if you are not sure - open taskmanager and go to the performance-tab, at the left it will show you CPU, Ram, and at the bottom the GPU(s) - there should be an Intel UHD as GPU 0, but does it also say anything like Nvidia Geforce or AMD Radeon as GPU1?

You should try checking gamefile integrity (via steam), and see if all drivers are up to date.
Do you have any anti-virus software that might interfer? Or any of those garbage "optimizers" or other "cleaning"utilitis ? (Be aware - most of them make your laptop slower and they can cause many other problems )


Make sure that the safe-directory and the files are not write-protected. In general playing at fullscreen has the least problems for me, you might also try starting the game as admistrator.

If the problems persists (and nobody else knows anything), you might just try lowering all settings to the minimum and then testing again, changing one setting at a time till you find something that causes the problem (hopefully).



And again - i would remove the personal information there - nobody should need that and it is just bad idea to post those online anyways.

That laptop is more than good enough to play this game at the highest settings.
crashes can caused by many things (even virus scans).
best is to use UNX, it solves some issues with this game.
Can be downloaded with SKIM (Special K INSTALL MANAGER) https://discourse.differentk.fyi/

Hey, I downloaded SKIM as you mentioned but I can't seem to find this UNX that you brought up. Where abouts is it?
