    I am! (on disgustingly obese The Fatman server)

    I'm not exactly sure what settings I'm using but it runs pretty well. There's a small little glitch when I log in it won't load after the character select screen (just for one of my characters) so I have to hit Alt+Ctrl+Del and hit Escape to return back to the game and it loads!

    Try going into the Task Manager and increasing the priority of the .exe, just by one, maybe 2 steps.

    It wasn't enough to get it playable on my poor laptop but it did make a noticable difference.
