Hey,
I finally got eflc from steam to work, but now it lags like crap. I mean, it lags so immensly bad that when Im playing TLATD, The lip sync isn't in place, It takes forever for textures to pop in, and the motorcycles bounce up and down. It's probably cause my graphics card and cores and all that aren't good enough. Idk. Here they are.

Computer Type: Pavilion g7-1365dx Notebook PC (Windows 7 64-bit)
Adapter Type: ADM Radeon™ HD 6520G graphics card
Chip Type: ATI display adapter (0x9647)
DAC Type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Adapter String: @oem2.inf,%amd9647.21%;AMD Radeon™ Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
Bios Information: BR41232.bin

Total Available Graphics Memory: 2036 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 512 MB
System Video Memory: 0 MB
Shared System Memory: 1524 MB
Any Ideas or help?

Now sure if it'll work, but try memrestrict.

Hmmm that GPU is quite weak, this isint unusual. I'd upgrade GPU for better performance.

[luceberg]

This laptop? Should play not too bad.

What are your graphics settings?

What do you mean by "motorcycles bounce"?

when I was stopped at this one part it was all glitchy and stuff and the mororcycles were bouncing and glitching and all that cause of the lag.

[luceberg]

I think he means where vehicles appear sunk into the road and then bounce up on to their wheels.

Which patch are you using? Also post graphics settings.

Im not using a patch at the moment, but I did try lowering my graphics and it doesn't lag as much.

[luceberg]

That is the problem then, the unpatched game is not so good at all. Try using patch 1.0.4.0.

[Brainsick]

He's playing EFLC; So he should use 1.1.2.0

[luceberg]

Thanks brainsick, I didnt notice that!

Alright, I got the 1.1.2.0 patch. Do I just toss the folder in the main directory? I think so.

Since he is on a laptop, that IS NOT an option, as laptop cards CANNOT be upgraded, as they are soldered into the motherboards(according to a local PC Repair shop in the gulfcoast area)....

On-topic, That is an Integrated card(meaning the VRAM is SHARED with the System Ram), so there will always be a problem there...

However, you never mentioned What Processor you have and the Processor Speed?-This is highly important info. to post to get accurate help, not like there's much you can do, since you are on a laptop, though....

No, the file is an .exe. You click on it and it installs.

My processor is an AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon™ HD graphics 1.50 GHz

So, there's the other half of the problem-your processor speed is way below minimum for the game, as the MINIMUM speed for AMD Processors is 2.4GHZ(according to the game's requirements)...On top of that, laptop processors and video cards are usually slower than their desktop counter parts, so a 1.5GHZ laptop processor would more than likely be about the same as a desktop 1GHZ Processor, I reckon?

[luceberg]

This is his laptop:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...cname=c03151850

It says 2.4/1.5Ghz, so i guess it turbos up to 2.4Ghz.

Here is a youtube video of gameplay with a similar machine, or so it says. I think believable:

i ran EFLC with phenom x4 975 @ 800mhz (locked by bios). original poster,
1. change your target to something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\EFLC\LaunchEFLC.exe" -novblank -availablevidmem 2.0
2. use memrestrict - i find -memrestrict 262144000 works good with Llano 6550d, but whatever works for you
3. use these settings and work your way up:
Texture Quality: Low
Shadow Quality: Off
Reflection Resolution: Off
Water Quality: Low
Texture Filter Quality: Anisotropic x4
Night Shadows: Off
View Distance: 25
Detail Distance: 31
