Hi folks

I usually play HF on my desktop, however, this days I try my notebook.

My CPU usage was 20% or less, but since I started HF the CPU goes to 100% causing LAG a lot.

Just for curiosity I try other notebook (from the job) and the result was pretty much the same.

So... anyone has more data about this situation?

I have played on a Mini laptop . It's very hard to get level 50 and the lag is BIG.

It happens just the reverse to me: when I play on the desktop it lags a lot and when I play on a notebook it lags only from time to time.

I only play on a notebook and it works perfecly, while my old desktop was pretty much unable to get above 10 fps in the 60s. But that was a really old one - I think maybe your desktop pc is just "better" than your notebook, which I would consider normal if they are about the same age.

Desktop, P4-2000 / 512 / GF5500 : 25-30 fps with few enemies/items, 15-20 fps with lot of them.
Notebook, CDuo-1.6 / 1024 / X200M : 35-40 fps with few enemies/items, 25-30 fps with lot of them.

asathler, can you give us your notebook and desktop specifications? It is something normal to have bad game experience if your pc/notebook is old or with little CPU frequency, RAM, Video card...

Hum... it's strange, very strange!

Desktop 1:
Intel core 2 duo, 1,86Ghz, 2Gb ram, 1024cache, no video card device. Win XP. NO LAG!

Desktop 2:
AMD 3.0 64bit, 1Gb ram, 1024cache, Radeon 9600 Pro. Win 7 Ult. NO LAG!

Notebook 1:
HP AMD Turion II, 4Gb ram, 1024cache, no video card device. Win XP. FEW LAG.

Notebook 2:
Dell Vostro 1000, AMD Sempron 3500+ 1.8GHz 512Kcache, 1Gb ram, ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 256MB video card, Win Vista Bus. HUGE LAG!

Notebook 2 is my real problem with lag in HF. Normally I use one of my desktops, but when I try notebook... everything goes crazy. FPS and cpu usage go high!

What is the OS you have on the Notebook2? Windows 7?

read better zax, he says windows vista

hehehe.
Windows vista business edition.

I will on my next weekend try some tools to verify performance and others configs to a better solution.

Windows 7 with Opera lags after a while but not on my main account.
