    Hello everyone,

    I have a toshiba x205 laptop and recently dowloaded the Frontlines: Fuel of War Mp demo and my frame-rates have been very unusual. When I join an online match the game has normal frame-rate of about 35-50 and while walking it studders for about two seconds and rates drop to about 3-13 fps. I have tried all different display drivers and currently I am using the 169.xx from LV2GO.

    Does anyone hae any ideas as to what the problem may be? Any feedback would be appreciated. :D :D

    Sorry to tell you this but the game is very buggy and unstable, its nothing to do with your card. its just the game.

    Thanks for letting me know this,

    I figured it might be my card for a sec but, I knew that was unlikley. Do you think it might be a network problem?

    Have you tried the game yourself?

    Thanks

    >.> you didn't even say what your settings are? If its a problem while playing online, its probably that your settings and view distance are to high.

    Most of the eyecandy was off, res at 1440*900. Still I think its not a video card issue. I get normal rates and all of a sudden the game freezez for like 7 seconds and I am like 100ft. away from my previous position.
