Laptop & Demigod.

from Demigod Forums

Now, this laptop runs sins of a solar empire pretty well, so I figure it will eventually run Demigod, this is a beta after all. :) One thing of note is I do have another pc, but I primarily use the laptop since I'm mobile more often than not. So this would be the primary computer I use it on.

btw, I don't play for graphics, I play for gameplay, I don't care a lick for fancy graphics, they are incredibly overrated, and that is what drew me to demigod in the first place.

Beta's are usualy unoptimized and have debug code still. This usualy means the retail will always run smother.

I thought I'd make a reply now, as of beta 1c demigod with the updated toshiba video drivers, now runs on the laptop above, aside from some intel related issues (graphic driver reloads itself as it does when world of warcraft is played) it runs very well on the lowest setting, and even on high it runs at a tolerable level for a game or two, before starting to annoy me. :)

That is just plain shocking.  When I saw the processor, I thought you doomed.  When I saw an integrated intel video chip, I thought it was hopeless.  Truly shocking.  Nice to hear it works for you.  My friend who just got a new laptop because he is always on the road will be very pleased.  Look forward to seeing you online.

I noticed some improvement on my labtop with Beta 1C too, this really is great. I hope we got more performance upgrades before the final product :) It'd be best if it can run as smooth as Sin does, that'd make it one more popular title for SD and GPG for sure!
