if your having trouble running a game from 2011, i'd look into getting a better pc, even used graphics cards.

I played this game back on release date with "brand new" AMD Phenom II X4 965/8gb/gtx650Ti (1GB), and game worked smoothly with Fraps for recording.

If you are under that, I can confirm that it's playable on q9650/6gb ddr2/gt1030 (2gb).

If you have anything lower then that it's really time to buy something new dude.

I have:

AMD Phenom II X2 550
8GB RAM
GT 630 2GB DDR3

and I was afraid if I can run (at all) Mass Effect 3 from 2012, and it ran just fine, I could even run it on settings other than lowest, like above medium.

If you're anything above that then there isn't really much you can do than upgrade your PC. So far mine is still doing the job, but an upgrade is almost necessary for me as well.

Remove any C++ below the most recent one. Update drivers etc...

Remove and C++ below the most recent one?! WTF?! Don't you know other games may require older versions?

Exactly. That's where most of people make mistake and then we see threads "suddenly stopped working" :) But again, if you are confident enough feel free to remove it. I usually remember what is installed for what so I keep it clean.

A common practive for me after a fresh Windows reinstall is to use Patch My PC which can silently batch install programs for you, so I install all the C++ Runtimes, the latest .NET Framework and DirectX Runtime with this, just in case some program/game needs them, so I don't have to go look for them manually.

I'm by no means an expert, just an enthusiast so I never heard that keeping old versions of C++ Runtimes would cause you worse performance. AFAIK, if you have all of them installed, the game will look for the exact files it needs to run, and since all runtimes can exist side-by-side, the game will look for the files it needs from the version of the Runtime it needs... so I don't really see an issue here.

No no, I didn't say that it will perform worse, but some games tend to crash often or more often then usually, or sometimes they can't be started suddenly and people wonder why and how but they removed some of old versions in meaning time. I believe Age of Empire or it was Mythology was one of the games which is not working without old runtime.

okay is there a ini file or something i could just edit myself and i forgot to mention my specs are 4gb ram i3 core and intel hd 4400 (im on a laptop so dont tell me to upgrade im trying)

[Mazi7]

Not gonna work above 20fps, if someone can correct me please. Perhaps I'm wrong. But 4400 is too low.

[davisco]

It might be your RAM (how much do you have installed?) or your CPU.
Your HD4400 might be sufficient, because I just found a HD4000 Youtube video someone playing with looks like more than 20FPS (i7-37770)

EDIT: ok not stable at all ...but HD4400 has about 30% more power than HD4000.

[Supaf Supart]

i3 core and a 4gb ram

[AngriusMaximus]

Lower all graphics to minimum.
Might help compensate for the i3 and low RAM.
I run i5 8GB GT940MX with those settings for a nice 45-60 FPS depending on game type and background apps which may eat space
You might get between 25-45 FPS, which is still playable.

[Supaf Supart]

ok

[davisco]

Try to lower your resolution, this will help your CPU
