Between traveling for games and CST I haven't done any runs. I'm EST and my weekdays start early.

I still enjoy being in the guild. Hopefully I can start getting some runs in with the group.

Yeah, I suppose that time wasn't a very other-time-zone-friendly time to get started. Even worse yet, I wasn't able to get on today until late late late(around 10:30) due to some fatherly duties that took a tad longer than expected.

On that note - if we try to get together say around 6:30-7:30PM CST to form up - would that help make it more do-able or is that worse? If you don't mind, please post here if you plan on making it! If there are no objections by that time tomorrow and peeps are on we can get started!

I'd definitely see if you have any updates for drivers. What type of system are you running AMD/Nvidia on-board or it could be a few other types? Laptop make and model number if you aren't sure and we can find it. An easy way to have your FPS always show is to download FRAPS(you can set it up to use the on-screen display[OSD] only by disabling all the other features). Personally I love MSI afterburner( Link) it is incredibly customizable and last time I checked it worked for all types of graphics processors/drivers to display FPS and other data on-screen. Actually, I lied - the easiest way to see your FPS is to have your options open while in-game and it tells you in the bottom right corner of the screen.

As far as in-game settings go if you are looking for a great boost to performance start with the "Settings Preset:" under Options> Display> Advanced Settings set that to "Best performance". Then go up to the top of that same page and make sure resolution is set to full screen. After that go through all the advanced settings(other than the preset you changed earlier) and make each one either "Low" or "None" except for where it says "Render Sampling" you want "Subsample" or "Native". Last you can try unticking all the stuff at the bottom(esp. hires textures). FPS of around 20 is actually playable, lol.

P.S.: Almost finished with mah [WarS] project(s)! I hope it'll really simplify some stuff for us as a guild.

Edit reason: OMG sorry for the text wall, it just happened.
