i having an issue

[sun485728]

my issue is that every time i need to use the mission edditer the oceans just turn kind of a darkish kind of grey it not an oil spill i have tried to restart stormworks and my laptop
i even tried making a new world still the same for context i have a pretty bad computer
which means i have to play on 720p just to get playable frames it seems to happen less if i am on 1080p the way to counteract this by chancing the resolution of my game i would really appreciate any kind of help

First: U S E P U N C T U A T I O N.
Second: What is your computer type? ex: Windows, iMac.
Third: What’s your specs?
Fourth: I don’t know about the grey issue.

[sun485728]

i have a lenovo g15 intel with an intel i5 11gen no graphics card
16 GB of ram 2400mhz

[ZBRUH10]

So this is the needed specs:

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 / 8 / 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-4440 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: Intel HD 6000 / GeForce 550 / AMD R7 250 (AMD Radeon HD 7750)
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 1 GB available space

Edit: maybe it’s because you don’t have a graphics card. 🤔

That's my Desktop. It runs Stormworks good with good graphics. Only thing I would change, and solely for Stormworks optimization, is my CPU. I'd go with Intel if this was my primary or only game. However I am happy with AMD for pretty much every other game/thing I do on my PC.

My specs in a laptop would cost a lot, so I personally will always recommend a good ol PC tower.

And what people fail to understand is a Laptop as a very short lifespan compared to a PC.

Even shorter if you use it for long periods of time everyday.

I personally don't understand laptop gaming. I mean I do and don't. I definitely understand the desire for portability, buuut when my CPU or whatever ♥♥♥♥♥ out on my tower, I'll go spend $whatever on that component.

When my CPU (or whatever) ♥♥♥♥♥ out on my work laptop, I'll need an entirely new laptop (can fix it for sure but rarely is it worth it cost wise).

PC tower gaming FTW!

EXACTLY!

My PC is like 13-14 years old and I've yet had to replace a component other than a fan that a blade had broken off lol.

I've owned 1 21st century Laptop and it went dead in 3 years. I will never buy a Laptop ever again.

I say 21st century because I do own another Laptop a still functional Toshiba T1000 lmao.

I bought a HP laptop in 2017 and it died by 2021. GRANTED, I was running Transport Fever 2 and Cities Skylines on an i7 with no standalone GPU, but still, dogwater for how much it was!

"21st century" is awesome and true, but god does that make me feel old reading it out loud lmaoooo. My dad still has a Dell Inspiron from like 2005. That SOB still works, and well!
