Get a graphics card.


Alternatively remove some advanced graphics stuff from your BP installation.

Non-specific chipsets no longer are up to modern games (or very old 1999 games upgraded to modern specs). They really are more meant for supporting Photoshop (if not pushing it) or watching DVD's and youtube vids.

You have two possibilities here :
- Blame Steve-O and get yourself a gpu.
- Blame Steve-O and wait for UEF stuff to get optimized.

It might still not work. If you're on a laptop, there's always external vidcards.

Once all the ships in WiH have been optimised, there should be an increase in performance, even on integrated cards like mine.

For now, I deal with the lag. :P

Did you try the antipodes build or a recent nightly.
For me it was luckily not neccesary, but I heard from other that is improved their performance significantly.

Remove the advanced VPs from your blueplanet2 and mediavps_3612 folder if you haven't already.

I'm fortunate that I have a laptop that can handle the initial WiH release with very little frame drop. ;)
External video cards, this is news to me.

I think she's referring to ViDock, which plugs into the laptop via express card slot and uses ATI desktop cards.


Also, as long as your laptop's card isn't a inegrated nvidia, ati, or intel card you can also swap it out similarly to desktop GPU switching.

As can my lappy, hence the non-specific vidcard comment earlier. Those latter are just not suited for gaming anymore, which is a shame.

That, and there are nowadays external GPU's which you actually plug in with USB to aid your laptop's vidcard. They then set themselves up, they're basically plug and play.

You have two possibilities here :
- Blame Steve-O and get yourself a gpu.
- Blame Steve-O and wait for UEF stuff to get optimized.

Or:

- Blame Steve-O and borrow HIS gpu until he/they optimized stuff. :D
