Neo-Babylonian 0 Posted July 18, 2009 I've just installed the ArmA2 demo, to see if it'll run on my Laptop, as I'm not certain I have the right specs/software, and also wanting to see how it looks like on my small 17" screen. It installed and stars great, after I instralled some new drivers, but the first time I ran it, the graphics were very slow on the main menu, and crashed, only running for one second, and freezing for the remaining two! The game started OK, but was unplayable at how slow the graphics are - completely frozen for like five seconds for ever second they run! Here are my specs: Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1. 10 A13 Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86 GHz (2CPUs) [[so I figured overall speed would be like 3.6GHz]] Memory: 4GB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 10 ------------------------------------ Display: Name/Chip Type: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family DAC Type: Internal Approx Total Memory: 358MB Current Display Mode: 1280 x 800 (32 bit)(60Hz) -------------------------------------- I admitt I'm a complete retard at computers, and GCSE IT did nothing to prepare me for the real world, just like virtually every subject I studied at school, but my hardware seems to pretty much meet the minimum requirements. I've been really looking forwards to this game, and been almost obsessively following it's features and development from the time it was announced, and I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Is it a hardware problem, where my computer doesn't mi specs, or is it (hopefully) a software or other problem which I can fix? Thanks very much all for your time. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViperNL 10 Posted July 18, 2009 Im surprised the game even started with those specs! And no, a 1.86GHz dual core does not equal 3,6Ghz.. That would make mine a 14Ghz cpu! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murklor 10 Posted July 18, 2009 Yep, that is below minimum specs, technically at least... The X3100 that the 965 chipset use doesnt even have video memory, its using shared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neo-Babylonian 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks guys, my dreams of playing that game are shattered for the time being (maybe until hopefully they'll make a XBOX360/PS3 port). But at least I know what the problem is. Cheers again for your time and help. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
