You clearly have a system well below the minimum requirements. Did you read them before you bought the game?
I'm sorry there is not much you can do with a laptop. I suggest you upgrade your system to a desktop or write It off to a bad choice. I've lost count of how many games I bought and played for less than 5hrs and just have to write off. Sorry for your issues but here is no point carrying on. Laptops are not officially supported they mostly have lower than entry level desktop GPU capability which makes them unsuitable for games with large viewing distances and large detailed textures.

So it has nothing to do with bad coding Phat. ?

Sure it also has something to do with coding, but you don't really think to run a sim game on a notebook. Sims naturally demand also a lot of cpu power and a mobile "dual core" with under 2 ghz raw power is not a good choice.

I run an i7-920 @ 4 ghz on for real cores and there are still games like arma2 etc. where my cpu is limiting the performance in some circumstances (warfare with a lot of things happening).

But increasing raw power of my i7 brought a lot of effort for performance. In this case, performance is gameplay without stutters and more stable fps. Please do not make the fault to look on the fps increase, because in most cases, a new cpu do not help to increase fps very much.

Sometimes I see guys with a 2500k or 2600k cpu and a gtx 590 discussing about a new cpu, instead of talking about the problems of a gtx 590 or about their crappy hdd with 7200 rpm or crappy ram or crappy mainboards or simply about their crappy knowledge about it. Also the ability to tweak a game is not existent, as they are coming from consoles and just pull the trigger to maximum and say: Why is it not working? After that they buy a 2500$ maschine and still run it in wrong settings, so that they are becoming angry about the hardware, because they see people with less power running at the same level as their rig. I hate kids are able to talk about their hardware and name themselves pros in pc matters.

And the best is: 90% of this bf3 and cod:mw kids are not learning and you cannot convince them, as they will never say by themselves, that they are wrong!!

Omg, sry, back to topic! What was it?...

Well games like Totalwar series Take on helicopters/Arm2 engine Rise of flight there not console ports. So if he can run them he could atleast get CLOD playable on his machine.

@gilmc123 Im sorry but thats just not true and you are clearly trolling.

I can run COD on my i7 330GT laptop at about 20-25FPS at reduced settings without issue.

Yes I have an overkill system but it is not required for this game.
COD doesnt even use more than 1GPU and it still runs just fine.
There are plenty of people on here with much lesser machines than mine without problems.

@Mattius I think since you have made your point and I have attempted to answer you helpfully and honestly that you are only here to troll so I am locking the thread.
You yourself said you were going off to play ROF.. So run along and stop causing trouble. You obviously dont want our help.

Does that overkill hardware your running just power itself though the bad coding and all the bugs in the sim Phat. ?
