CnC Generals

Hi

I've done a quick search but maybe not enough on the forums but I can't seem to see why my CnC Generals is so slow to play and vids on youtube seem so quick



I've upped the ram to 1.5GB (managed to KIA the left hand SD cardreader at the same time by leaving one in there as i took it apart. a kind of staple came out and now cards no longer stay in ( , have win7 r1006 installed. Oh I also lost one of the rubber feet.

Generals screen scale is stretched to match the native res of the a150 (from 800-600 - 1024*600) and doesn't give me option to change screen res. Any tips or ideas why mine seems so slow compared to the youtube vid which looks perfectly playable.

Is there something I haven't done. How come everybody seems to be running there games so much smoother. Apologies if this has been asked before. Hey come on, I did the Ram upgrade without asking any questions. If I could find that rubber foot I'd be happy too, it must have stuck to me at some point and been moved to another area of the house!!!

 

I would call it almost playable... It runs fairly smooth on my aspire one... at least untill I watch someone else's computer...

I haven't put in any effort past that... sorry..

 

Try setting the game's video quality settings to low....

 

hey thats my video. lol generals runs flawless on my aa1. I don't know why some people have problems. All these games that I show in my video people complain about a lot and I don't understand why they run so smooth on my aa1.

 

Maybe the weakest thing is my battery, it is just 3 cell... RA2 runs perfect, but Generals, and Zero Hour.... terrible :cry:

 

does it not work either when your laptop is charging or plugged in. if that works better change your power settings to always on or desktop power scheme. Otherwise turn all your graphics down to low and it should run perfect.

 

Of course, that was just a joke ... I installed XP SP3, and the game is less better, but not perfect.

 

I don't know then. something you got running in the background maybe. I don't know. My generals runs perfect even with huge armies.
