    Its really heavy on my laptop, performance is awful and lags/bugs are just noticable.

    my 680m is doing pretty poor with this game, even on medium graphics fps barely gets to 60, and in high fights freezing... driver crashes fps down to 15-20

    3720qm processor

    have you whitelisted the game? My 6990m handles it without any lag that I can see. I haven't tweaked any settings though.

    it runs smooth on a single 7970m, your 680m shouldn't have any trouble with it.

    Make sure the game is whitelisted.

    I tried the game - thought it was awful, looked nice but game play was poor. Hardly any action happening and spent ALONG time porting to new areas trying to find action what i found in most cases was people just running around in the base doing nothing.

    When i did find action, it was a bit meh in my opinion. The night time fighting was quite nice but the combat was boring when trying to take or defend a location - It was basically shooting or throwing grenades into doorways as the other side do the exact same and nothing happens.

    I gave up after about 45minutes of boring gameplay. Will try again in a few months when they have tweaked a few things

    its not to bad, it just takes some time to figure out how to find where the combat is and how to fight effectively. Once you get into a decent fight with 20+ people per side, it gets to be really fun and intense. Just my 10 cents. :)
