ATI 9700 Mobility - Desert Combat (BF1942) Issue PLZ HELP!

Godinaclownsuit · Apr 14, 2005, 02:16 PM

hey guys

Last couple of weeks I've purchased a new ASUS A4000K Laptop

various specs:

AMD 64 3400+
15.4 Wide screen
ATI 9700 Mobility
DVD Burner
blah blah blah

MY PROBLEM:

I'm having issues running aparticular game - Battlefield 1942, in particular, its mod, Desert Combat. Everytime I load into it, it seems to 'lag' I can't work out why. Its like its major lag as if I was on a 56k connection online. I've tried it single player and EVERY single option I've screwed round with, nothing works. I installed the latest Omega Drivers, still no joy. I've also updated my BIOS and done a CPU Hotfix.

The weird thing is, it will play every other game at medium to high resolution. EvenHalf Life 2 and Counterstrike Source I can play at almost max resolution without a problem, very smooth and looks great. Yetwhen I try to play Desert Combat which is considered almost a dated game now I get glitches?

I'm pretty cluely with computers, but new to laptops so any light shed in thsi area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Matt

i'm running the latest Omega drivers,

I've just spoken to a mate, he rekons that I need more ram, came with 512mb ram, but he says on a laptop, Desert Combat needs at least 768, so i'll get some more and see how that goes.
