Title: Win 7: Frame rate @ 3!!
Post by: ultimatebuster on April 21, 2009, 03:46:02 PM
Everytime I launch the game, the frame rate would be at 3 - 6, checked with FRAPS
Game is running at 640x480, windowed mode. Any quality would have the same frame rate

Computer Spec:
32-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7000
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (Prerelease WDDM 1.1 Driver) with 358 MB Total available graphics memory
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
3GB RAM
DirectX 10

I have the same video card than you, and also got Win 7 Beta not far, but I haven't tried OA on it yet ;)

Two factors
32-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7000
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (Prerelease WDDM 1.1 Driver)



Windows 7 isn't fully tested, or even supported yet (W7's opengl may be gimped and you are not accellerated in OA)

Intel graphics isn't the hottest stuff, but the Intel GMA family can run OA surprisingly well.

Don't blame Windows 7. I've been playing OA on it since the 7057 release came out, and it always gave me consistent gaming performance. My frags don't go down at all :D It even auto-detected my NVIDIA 9600 GT and installed appropriate drivers.

Windows 7 is nicer for gaming than Vista, IMHO.

Check your video card driver, video card settings, etc...
