Hope there won´t be too many "Aaalaarm" shouts in the upcoming nights to keep me alert!

A whole new meaning to "Rig for Silent Running"?

But big congrats! Hope all will go well!

And when Baby turns 18 you can always pass on the bills and Voila! New pc!

Best wishes to you and family,

Am I bumping ancient thread? Plz tell me that the dates are MM-DD-YY not DD-MM-YY.. If the 11th is the day and 3rd is month I'm sorry that I'm grave digging almost a year old thread but anyways to the topic:

I have a laptop too, 2.1 GHz AMD single core processor, NVidia GeForce 8200 graphics card and 3 Gb's ram

I was a bit worried after I had bought the game and at home I noticed that "laptop models of these cards may work but are not supported"

And as my graphics card wasn't even in the list and it was a laptop version.. Well, it has worked surprisingly well, and I don't know, perhaps it's useless to post here because my graphics card isn't supported but I've had some serious FPS problem in the map. Otherwise it works very well, even when time compression is bigger but when I look at the map I need to struggle even to get my mouse to where I want

Am I right that when I switch into map mode the game keeps running all the stuff outside (like when I'm at the deck) and if I rise the time compression it tries to speed up everything that is in my view distance? This has been a bit of a problem in long distance missions, when I want to go somewhere far I may set time compression to several thousands (3000 something very usually) and at the time I get a message about enemy ship I'm 700 miles away from it because I can't get the time compression down to 1 because my frame rate is so small (which means I can do whatever I want and click where ever I want but nothing happens very soon).

Good luck with hunting everyone

You are severely underpowered...

But you may wanna give the anti-lag "fix" a try http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show....php?p=1458455

Good luck!

pretty well! I limited the functions of the Graphics Card Unit and changed some of the games display settings and it´s running stable without any problems now- except that you have to connect the laptop to the power plug to get a good FPS rate. Running the latop on batteries results in a stuttering display. But anyway, it´s a PC game after all and personally I get the best results on a PC.

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst

Oh, I was thinking of the baby, kurfürst!

Who the heck cares about computers, when a new one is on the way!

Me and my "funny" remarks...

That actually makes perfect sense, since the laptop's powersave will adjust cpu speed all the time! Great tip!
