Hello, I am normally a console gamer (360) and am new to computer games. After seeing this game and reading posts I decided I must have it, especially because I love subs Unfortunatley I know very little about computer gaming, My computer is a Toshiba Satellite M115 laptop. As far as I know my computer meets the minimum standards but I read on a website that laptops are not supported with this game which I'm guessing means that laptops don't work Although I don't really know and understand everything yet, any help would be very very very much appreciated, thank you all

I dont see any problems running SH3 on that - but you may have to put the graphics down - do you have SH3DVD ?

Welcome to Subsim artcore

I play on a laptop with no problems.
As Shelton said if you keep the game graphic settings down low I think you''ll be OK.

I read several examples of laptops with the Intel on-board graphic accelerator having some problems, e.g. not seeing the binoculars, and other graphical glitches.
