Honestly this is a repost of a previous thread I made that had received no answers and is now lost in the many pages that make up this forum. Since I do have one of the newer NVIDIA cards it does come with all of those 3d settings through the NVIDIA control panel. I am guessing the issue has something to do with those settings, but honestly I have no idea.
[QUOTE]I'll list my specs as much as I know how. I'm more than sure my computer is speedy enough.
Intel i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.7 GHz
8.00 GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M
A 1tb Hard drive
64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium
I'm not sure if this matters, it is a 1900x1080 screen on a ~15in screen laptop. It's a customized Valkyrie laptop I got from ibuypower.
Issue: Right from the startup screen I can see something is off. After I put my mouse over 'play now' or 'options' it takes about a full second for the word to highlight. The on-fire trash can in the background seems like it is running at an ok FPS, but I cannot really tell. Once I am in game after a very short loading time I see that the game is maybe running at 3 fps MAX and there is an input lag of about 1 second. The game is practically unplayable for anyone with the state that it runs on my laptop. I know that with the specs I have I should be running it fine because with my last set up which consisted of a NVIDIA GeForce 460 and an i5 2.8 GHz it ran around 45 fps at max render settings. I'd really like to get back to playing this game as soon as possible, my friends are waiting for me D: .[/QUOTE]
Here are some tips:
Lower resolution
Use "Fastest" in unity launcher thing
Decrease Render Quality to minimal in options
____
While in game, press F1 and use following commands:
grass.on false
grass.displacement false
____
Give Rust High/Above Normal priority in Task Manager
Turn off unwanted processes (ESPECIALLY ones that use some CPU usage)
Turn off windows fancy features

Also, that ain't a bad build oh and one more tip: Use lowest DX settings [configurable in start parameters]

one more thing to console: gfx.all false & gfx.ssaa false to get a little more fps.•

the startup parameter I was talking about is:
-force-feature-level-9-2 -popupwindow
Thanks SilentK :P . I tried all of your possible solutions and it did help a lot. It runs at about 25 fps now with maybe a .25 - .5 second input delay instead of the full second. It has improved a lot, but for me is still very difficult to play. If there was no more input lag I would be better able to play it, but sadly the issue still exists. When you said to lower my DX settings, (I'm assuming that translates to DirectX) I followed this guide [URL="http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-030506.htm"]http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-030506.htm[/URL] to change it's setting to 'performance' and optimal mode off. I wasn't sure how to turn off windows fancy features so I left them as they are aha.
I really appreciate the help as it did improve my game's performance greatly, but I still am unhappy about it's current state. I know my laptop should be running the game very smoothly with the specs it has. Any more potential fixes? D:
