Got vegas 2/ 25 fps

I just installed vegas 2 . Played for a bit ran terrorist hunt Map kill house.
Game settings 1200 x 800 4:3
everything else low as possible no aa
i get 25. I am crying inside. I had huge plans for this game too :S i have no idea how i am going to play with 25 fps and play at competitive level. My specs are in my sig. See if you guys can help me.

- Thanks btw i dont want to lower my ress i need that ress to see well etc. Right now vegas 1 ran better on my desktop with these specs.
p4 2.8 ghz ht
1.5 gb of ram
xp 32 bit
nvidia 7800 256 mb agp ...
will my desktop runs this game better as well even though my laptop runs every other game way better?

 

it shouldn't.... I think there are configs for RV2 that increase performance, you should try one of those.

 

are you serious well.. Link me please or will be installing xp. Also can you give me a link to the latest nvidia drivers that everyone has.. i cant find em anywhere

 

laptopvideo2go.com for the latest drivers...

EDIT: Have you tried the patch?

 

yeah i have the patched on laptopvideo2go they dont have 174 :S i only see 169 :S is it in the forums?

 

ya... look in the forums, they should be there.

i see you run vista try XP or add maby a extra GB of ram

 

I'm having the same problem. I ran the first one just fine but now R6V2 runs choppy with everything down. And I mean EVERYTHING. So everyone seems to say the driver?? I have the latest 169 the laptop site doesn't have any past it. hope it works.

 

Well I decided to check out the game so I'm downloading it now, I'll let you know how it runs.

 

Thanks, I am going to try to get 174 driver. Its just not playable. I just went to this site ( http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest) and it says my laptop can play the game easliy...so confused.

Can anyone put a link up to find the latest driver. Not the laptop2go.com website, it doesn't have it.

So I just bought the game and played for the last hour and half. My initial reactions:

I played the first chapter of the story mode, and my notebook got choppy frames, at the default settings (1280x800). I estimate I was playing at around 20-25fps, but I will definitely use FRAPs next time.

Then I played online, and lowered the resolution to 1024x768 and all options off. That made the experience more fluid, I estimate 30-35fps but still not completely smooth.

There aren't a lot of servers to play on yet, but even the higher pinged servers seemed fine.

There is Punkbuster for online play. I didn't hear anyone using their MICs.

Also, don't believe the minimum system requirements, I thought that UBISOFT was wayyyy too liberal. You should at least follow the recommended settings. Microsoft gives the game a 5.0 rating minimum and 5.5 for recommended, my system is only 4.7.

get them here

 

Ok got it and played through the tutorial story mission.

Was getting around 22-30 FPS with AA setting at 2, 1280x800, everything else high except for motion blur which was on low.

My first impression is that the graphics suck for the frame rates I'm getting. CoD4 looks better visually but I can run it at 1680x1050 on high with even some AA and AF and I get better frame rates.

 

COD4 definitely looks better and is better optimized for the PC than Vegas.

I just tried a server with no ping listed, a dedicated one, and for some reason my frames improved. I got at least 40fps. It was all very very smooth. Still only playing at 1024x768 with all settings low or off though.

PC Vegas definitely has a faster pace than console thanks to the mouse and keyboard.

 

alright i have been playing to game alot multiplayer it gets boring quick.. You gotta have good bunch of peeps to play with . I have my clan so its fun. Everyone who joined my server pretty much had a mic.. I think the game is giong to fun we already have scrims lined up for us but yeah 25 - 37 fps:S i might do xp install. But its definitly playable i have already gotten 25- 3 deaths owning noobs up

 

with my m9750 SLI 7950GTXs i'm getting an average of 50FPS all @ max, 1400X900 ress, i can provide screens if you dont believe me

 

so mixed results in performance for laptops? now im reluctant on buying this game and theres no demo to test it. dunno what to do. if anyone figures anything out please let me know

 

well put it this way.. I am owning people who have 80 fps. I think this game is designed to run at 30 fps.. like there is no lag. You just don't want lag spikes. Other then that the game is smooth.

 

I havent played the game, but from all the screenshots I've seen, the characters look a little out of place in the game world, comes off looking kinda comic bookish which I dont think was the intent.

 

its scaled down from 1440X900 to a lower ress, but still proves the points that the game looks great on max settings

 

wow nice

 

i highly recommend this game for people who have med settings capable systems.. its multiplayer EATS cod4's gun and run, to top it all, Voice chat is enabled!

 

DAMMIT! you guys have convinced me to purchase said game. It's downloading from Steam. And damn steam for making it so easy. I'll let you know how it runs on the ATI side.

 

just got the game and i was very surprised at the performance, i was expecting to have to reduce everything down to get playable frames but i left it at the default settings with everything on and the game plays so smooth. not exactly sure about FPS tho, anyone know if theres a way to see the fps without running fraps or something

 

I've been having fun with this game for the past few days. I found that performance wise, my notebook can handle all the maps online until I hit Streets. I can play that map for a while but then slowly my frames start to stutter eventually. What do I need to do?

Otherwise, gameplay can be extremely fast if you're on a full server, small map, and unlimited respawns. It can even get faster than COD4. So, to tone it down to more methodical levels, I like to play games with no respawns. But, I've also found that the gamemode Team Leader gives you the best of both worlds, you can respawn as long as your team leader is alive, but when he dies your life is one and done, giving it the intense factor of valuing your final life.

If anybody wants to play with me give me a PM, I have both XFire and Steam.

 

Just got the game and I'm having a blast with my friend on co-op mode. The game runs a lot better than i thought, especially when my GPU is 8600M GS, i thought it wouldn't run that great but it really surprised me.

 

Turns out it runs great for me too. Well not great, but very playable. Especially on my external monitor at 1024x768 it's always over 30fps says FRAPS.

 

Im glad all you guys bought the game. My name in game is cpt.Lavitz. Game is playable 25 fps. Its a game where you dont need alot of fps. If anyone you guys need some people to play with add me on xfire or find my game online.

 

lmao i was playing you in CoD 4 on Friday LOL. Thats hilarious. My name was either Danny Boy or toyboat.

 

i'm playing the game through hamachi

 

i must say that i am more impressed than ever with this game. never have i played a game all night till 7 AM until now. i joined a co-op terrorist hunt with a good group of people and i was hooked. i can't wait to get more into the mp modes and i hope that more bugs will be fixed in later patches concerning the pings and server browser.

this game is amazing!!! go buy it now!!

 

I just installed it, and am Quite impressed with its performance on my PC. However, It crashes every 5 minutes or so. Anyone else have this problem? default settings, 1280x800 res.

 

I got it on my laptop, runs very good... no problems at all

I just have res at 1024x1152 and on high settings

 

dmacfour, did you update to patch 1.01?

 

sorry for double posting, but.. TIP for SLI users, rename the game launch exe to unreal, you should get 10-30 FPS increase depending on stage

 

How does renaming an executable file improve ingame performance?

 

the game is unreal Engine, and there arent any SLI profile optimized for RSV2, so renaming it to unreal will make it use the SLI profile of Unreal.exe

 

Don't see how that works, unless the SLi profile for the unreal engine is coded to work when the executable file matches that of the engine's namesake game.

If it works for you though, it's not a crime to recommend the trick to others.

 

without that thing, i get somekind of 40 FPS in certain stages, when using it i get 60+ FPS in some cases
