Pappy Boyington 0 Posted January 28, 2005 question for laptop users how many of you take OFP on the go with you? here i am sitting at work (Security Gaurd) typing up this message. a lil over 2 hours ago i was playing some OFP: Y2K3 with decent frame rates. using a combo of kegs hisky and unsung skys. playing some tank battles and helos and more but anyway i heard horror stories of the imjpossibility of OFP on a laptop. and i know Y2K3 aint the most frame freindly mod either, but i can play it all beautifuly. so anyway heres my specs, and im curious as to your laptop specs if you play OFP on it. AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHz Processor Integrated UniChromeâ„¢2 graphics 512 RAM 60GB Hard Drive 15" XGA TFT LCD screen and naturaly an 802.11 b/g wireless LAN connected to a hotspot in bruegers bagels (free) running 11Mbps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booradley60 0 Posted January 28, 2005 My grandparents bought my laptop for me as a high school graduation present. Â I currently use it like a desktop here at school, and just got back into OFP to pass the time between essays and the weekends. Â I have an Intel P4 2.8GHz with 384 Mb of RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500C. Â OFP with Y2K3 runs fine for me. Â The only real hurdle for me was getting a real keyboard and mouse to hook up to it. Â I had an old PS/2 mouse and keyboard and got a USB adapter for them to hook to my laptop, and it plays better than my home PC (doesn't really say much since my home PC is garbage.) Â Anyway, can't complain performancewise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdmiralKarlDonuts 0 Posted January 31, 2005 I've been running OFP for about two years on my laptop...got it for my birthday and it was supposed to just be for college work Compaq Presario 2100 Athalon 1.5 ghz 512 RAM, 64 of which goes to graphics right off the top 40gb HD With terrain detail at very low and view distance around 1000, it plays without problems. I adjusted the view distance up to 1200, normal detail, and loaded up EECP, and it stuttered enough to make me go back to plain old OFP. I'm thinking of doubling my RAM, but I'm wavering on it since it's going to cost me like 200 bucks and I'm a little short on scratch...such is college life.

Acecombat 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Doest OFP with new addons in all its glory suck on these Integrated Graphic solution? I mean my present Geforce 4 440 mx is ok but struggles in high viewdistances and i cant play with AA or AF on and dxdll well it isnt even compatible with my card Oh and while were on the subject can anyone tell me is there any possiblity of linking an external VGA card to a laptop since al laptops come with the crappiest inbuilt VGA's which arent much use for modern games. Pure old vanilla OFP might be good and playable but new addons i doubt it would look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ag_smith 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Oh and while were on the subject can anyone tell me is there any possiblity of linking an external VGA card to a laptop since al laptops come with the crappiest inbuilt VGA's which arent much use for modern games. Pure old vanilla OFP might be good and playable but new addons i doubt it would look good. My dad's laptop comes with ATI Radeon 9200m. Can't say it's high end, but I wouldn't say it's crappy too. OFP runs really well on it (prolly thanks to 512MB RAM, too). I've also played the latest Unreal Tournament on it without any problems. I've never heard about external VGA cards for laptops.

Sole 0 Posted February 4, 2005 I have my laptop for about 6 months now, and to be honest, I haven't tried OFP on it yet (shame on me ) I guess OFP should run sort of properly on my laptop though. Anyway, my specs: Pentium M 1.7ghz Mobility Radeon 9700 128mb 15" SXGA+ display 512mb DDR 60GB 7200rpm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted February 6, 2005 /waits for Avon's laptop stories  Well, there's the one where my boys took out my laptop at an airport, while we waited over an hour for our luggage. I realized what was about to happen and managed to hit the mute button before they fired off their PK on full sound. Similarly, I reported recently about someone here who linked to a spec page for some machine gun, that when you go to the page, it plays a real sounding clip of the gun firing. Had many of my office coworkers here jump out of their seats. Wasn't fast enough this time on the mute button. And then I sometimes remotely manage the company director's email on my machine and handle the responses for some of his email. Sometimes, in between handling those, I also respond to my own OFP related emails but I forget to change the default address. I always find out about those the next day when big boss forwards me some OFP fan mail that's hit his inbox. Has happened about 4 or 5 times over the last few years. He's not a happy pappy. My relatively new rig: Dell Inspiron XPS notebook, 3.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD, ATI Radeon 9800 Mobility 256MB, 1920x1200 wide-screen. Gloat. Gloat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
