Sro on notebook

Post by betuo »

Hi guys, I really wish you could help me with this, here's the prob.

My girlfriend has a notebook, and I installed sro there so she can play with me. It went all ok, I started playing, made her character, and started. It all went well so far, but, when the game demands a little more complex graf, like when I advance in level(where you have that light around the character) the game freezes.

So, she has a amazon pc with intel dual core and 3gb ram. I also play on Csro using a loader to translate(cause the normal translation I got from here didn't cover the quests).

Thank you already, hope you can help me xD

tks for the reply, but this I already know.

The notebook doens have a 3d card, that's why I'm here asking for help. i've heard there's a way to use the normal ram as 3d. I even tried a program called 3d analyse.

What I'm asking here is a hard question, skip all the normal answers, updates, and stuff.

thank you =D

the game? yes I tried with csro, i tried with ecsro. has the same prob.

I just don't know why it happens cause on old days, like some 4 or 5 years ago I used to play sro on a computer that had no 3d card and had lower ram and was pentium 3 only. I used to run really badly, but at least it worked.

xD

EDIT

I had an idea that might work. How do I run sro in window mode?

you could say

go options > setting > game setting > window mode

guys, if you wanna try to help, at least make an effort to do it right.

sry If I'm being rude, but the window mode stuff was just to test how the help would be. I don't mind if you don't reply, but if you do at least make an effort

her graf card is Sis Graphics

Well, I fixed the freezing problem, I can at least run the game now, but it goes badly.

So I guess the topic could be closed unless someone has any new idea besides de obvious, like a program that emulates 3d card using ram, or a program that lower the requirements.

tks for those who tried xD

Tried overclocking your laptop? maybe that will work, but get a good fan to keep the components cooled down, otherwise your gonna have to pick up molten pieces of metal on the floor :)
