Anyone running this game on a laptop with specs i5 4200u, GT 740m and 4GB RAM? I decided to install this game on my new laptop so that I can let my main PC rest a little but the game is lagging on my laptop. Shouldn't the specs be quite OK to run the game smoothly? hmm.gif icon_question.gif

Windows 8.1, i7, 750M, 4GB ram here. I don't have problems playing in game, but for some reason it takes a long time for me to load maps. Whenever the map changes, I'm usually one of the last to load. However after the map loads, my FPS is consistently quite high 60-100+.

Hmm.. well at least you could get it to run smoothly after awhile. I was actually tempted to get the i7 model of my laptop but it only came with an SSD which is a big no for me and also the salesperson said that the difference between i5 4200u and i7 4200u is not significant. Is your i7 processor a different one though?

Going by that specs, should be enough to run.
But no matter what specifications a laptop can have, it wont perform as well as a PC.
There will always be some limiting factor like gpu, psu and hdd issues.

try to ensure ur lappy not on some power saving mode
depending where u installed steam, ensure there's ample space in that drive.
update gpu drivers

Well, maybe there is some power saving mode turned on (I'm still not sure). I can have the problem of lack of storage space checked off because its still quite new and I haven't got much running on it biggrin.gif . Will report back. icon_rolleyes.gif
