Struggling to get the game to play well
Posted: Tue 01 Mar, 2016 10:43 pm
Hello all, I am coming back to elite after putting videogames down for awhile to focus on college and other things. I wanted to ask if anyone has had experience with getting a decent frame rate on elite mod. For me, it seems like the game starts out crappy, and gets worse. This is very peculiar as my laptop is pretty good, and I run games that are considerably detailed at a way higher frame rate. I have my PC specs below
MSI G-Stealth Pro Laptop
Windows 8.1 64bit
Intel I7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.5GHz
16 gigs of ram
Direct X version 11
NVidia GeForce GTX 870m
I am 99% sure that every driver is up to date, as I use a software that maintains my drivers very well.
I am running the game on the LOWEST settings possible, I have even brought the audio settings down to the minimal because I heard that helped people out. I have been watching a lot of streams and noticing how good the game looks when these people play. Frankly, with this laptop I think I should in theory be able to run this on max graphics and get good FPS just like them. I am seeing quite the opposite and literally no other game I own struggles like this. example: fractured space on max graphics, League on max graphics
I also noticed the game without the mod struggles equally, so I don't suspect the mod as the problem but rather the age of the game and possibly it's non-optimized nature. But I see these streamers and videos with great quality so obviously someone has figured it out.
Does anyone have any recommendations or advice to solve this?
