Problems with daoc on a laptop

[judas]

i got a 2,8ghz 728ram Fujitsu-simens amilo lap and daoc runs quite smooth at most places exept i keep crashing on some places in SI and a few places in TOA (aerus ml5 dungeon and a few more) and i just cant understand why :<
anyone else got the same problem? or knows how to fix it.

What graphics is it running?

Any errors in your Event log?

 

[judas]

hmm havent checked the error will do next time.
the gfx card is a Intel 82845G with 64meg (think some is shared with the ram somehow) its somewere near a gf2 or gf2 mx in preformance.

Turn off TOA reflective water....

I used to have similar problems on my laptop. I turned everything to lowest settings (Max performance), then tried it and it was fine, then 1 at a time added other settings until I found the one that broke it. For me the TOA water was the spoiler.

Just my experience anyway...

As someone suggested tone down gfx details and the like.

I run daoc on 2 laptops with no problems whatsoever. neither laptop has as much ram or as powefull a CPU as yours and only 1 has a better gfx card. But i do run in wanky graphics mode :/ it's the trade off for getting away from lan parties in 4mins flat

You can also see if increasing/decreasing the AGP texture size (in BIOS) could help you.

 

[judas]

well i have no problems to dual log tho im using lowest possibel gfx.
works in all old world places but only crash at some places in SI and toa.
will try the BIOS thingy. what does that actualy do btw?

Well, I was having crashes in Doom III (P4 2.6ghz, 1gb ram DDR2700, ATI Mobility9 (9000 with ddr ram)), and found that my laptop was getting extremely hot. It's kind of hot around here, so I just put a big fan on the place where the videochipset is and since then I don't have any problems anymore :-0
