Title: SWR runs kinda slow
Post by: SONIC BHOCOLATE STRIKER on June 05, 2009, 12:37:53 PM: Hey, I watched a few videos of SWR replays and noticed that it's not nearly as smooth on my computer. I blame it on my INTEL graphics card. INTEL! WHY DID I PICK INTEL!?

Ahem. Anyway. What do you need from me to help me get it running smoothly? Any suggestions aside from "get a new computer?"

"get a new computer?"
Seriously.

What's your machine's specs?

Comp 2 (my comp): 2.16GHz 64-bit dual-core Intel Centrino Duo; 2GB ram; Last run in XP (next try will be in Windows 7); Intel GMA 945 graphics card (lololol)

The other stuff, I dunno, I think Touhou games in general are more CPU intensive if anything. Your Radeon 9000 should be _okay_ for any Touhou game. The GMA945, on the other hand...

Post by: SONIC BHOCOLATE STRIKER on June 06, 2009, 02:41:52 PM: Yeah, but the pc with the radeon is a piece of ten-year-old junk that likes to randomly lock up when doing video gaming.
I shouldn've known better than to buy this computer with a GMA, though, when I HAD THE OPTION FOR NVIDIA DURRRRR. I'm going to keep kicking myself for this until I get a new PC <_<

My hdd is 7200rpm so I don't think that's a problem. I'll try screwing with config settings later.
