    Love this game. Free to play so addictive and a perfect release from World of Warcraft. I have been playing it since it was released to get away from my devil addiction and it has worked perfectly.

    I am running it well on the M11x native res with mostly high settings but the fps fluctuates a lot and no matter how much tweaking of settings I cant seem to find a sweet spot.

    Is anyone else playing this game? Could you post up your settings that you are using so that I can test them or have made any mods to the settings file to improve things?

    Get used to the FPS fluctuations, the game isn't all that optimized.

    Many thanks, sadly you confirmed my fears :( I have pretty much the same settings as you with a few more set to high so it does appear to be the game.

    I do notice also even on my Clevo when it is maxed out I really expected more because FPS hangs around 40-45 on some maps it must be badly optimised then.

    killing shadows tends to help a bit, and post processing helps but if its any consolation i get 20-30 fps with a desktop rig with a 280gtx, so yeah its badly optimised lol

    I'm guessing you've checked to make sure that your temp's aren't getting to hot right? Also beware of flat surfaces. My Fifa 2012 would occasionally lag even though the temps were under 170F ,by using a random videogame box to lift up the laptop , I was able to stabilize the fps :D

    Hey
    Something has changed for the better? My son wants to play in World of Tanks - can it be possible on the R1 ?

    It is indeed possible to play it but even with tweaks the game will have fluctuating FPS's.

    I confirm. It is playable on low detail at native resolution. Fps usually greater than 30. On the map in the city can sometimes slightly decrease.
