Title: Playing from the laptop
Post by: Austrian on April 18, 2013, 05:00:29 pm
Hello cRPG community,

My PC stopped working today and I wondered if I should install warband/cRPG on my laptop.
Now there comes the question if I would be accused of multiaccounting (playing mod on different IPs).
I am using the same steamaccount if this information is neseccary.

Thanks for quick answers,
Austriano

That's not multiaccounting.

Post the laptop specs, unless you have a decent processor and graphics card it's going to be terrible (it will be pretty terrible anyways).

Times like these, I'd recommend getting NES emulator and roms, or SNES or Sega Genesis.  Or games like Sid Meier's Pirates!, Gangsters Organized Crime, Ages of Empires, etc.

Laptop is pretty good for leeching, 0 worth gear... but seriously playing will not work on most laptops... unless you got great specs and paid more than 1,5k € for it...


yee, do what crazycracka said, play AoE, Civ and stuff like that.  :)

I played cRPG on minimal graphics with a decade old midrange laptop, and the framerate was acceptable.

i have played crpg from different computers and from different ip's and i still play,so it should not be multicaccounting, unless you suddenly join grey order.

I play cRPG from a laptop that cost me $100 US because I worked a government job and bought it when I left. It's about 3 years old now. It's by no means a gaming computer.

I get 40 FPS. Playable... I wouldn't recommend it unless you have no other choice to feed your addiction.

By the way kaffein : Nice Psy Gentleman Avatar

My girlfriend and I both play on laptops. Hers has shit specs but crpg runs well. Play it in DX7 and cap your frames at 58, should be smooth as butter.

When you say Dx7, do you mean you play without WSE2, because I was under the impression WSE forced you to play with Dx9 :S Any info would be really helpful as I play on my laptop all the time haha

You IP doesn't change if you switch from PC to laptop (provided that you're still at the same place/connection).

Also laptop gaming?

It's not about if it can perform decent enough, it's about keyboard / monitor positioning. The only legit way to game on a laptop is to fucking stick it on a docking station and use the normal keyboard / monitor

Alienware ? Seriously ?

The only point is if you are shameless enough to show the ULTRA GREEN NEON DESIGN.

Any serious gamer will choose the components himself and build a desktop twice as capable at a third of the cost.

Pretty much this. A keyboard that is not slanted + too high will wreck your hands in about 2 years, and laptop monitors will destroy your neck and back in a little less than that.



All in all, laptops are only good for things there's no way you can use your desktop.

I know Alienware is seriuslly overrated, I just wanted to stick a pic of something there. And to some people it looks cool cause it looks shiny and glowy. But imo its always been a little too much bling for a laptop.  Subtle is not a word I would describe Alienware with.

Tbh I suppose laptop gaming never bothered me that much.  Through the ages of 13-16 I played with my parents laptop. And over those years I think I got seriuslly used to it. Ofcourse now I wouldnt change my bigass monitor, selfassembled desktop PC, expensive mouse and stereotypically big James Bond villans office leather chair for the world....

She plays without WSE2 so she can run in dx7.

I dunno about that, i play on a regular desk with my laptop's keyboard and a Razer Deathadder.
Seems to work really well for me.

I have played cRPG on my laptop since I started playing cRPG, back when I started uni and got it. It's a HP g62. Of recent WSE2 has made cRPG less playable for me unless I go abyssmal everything on the lowest resolution.
