If you are running blockland in a window, switch it to fullscreen. The reason for this is that Windows Aero in Windows 7 takes up 130+ Mb of Vram WHILE IDLE AT DESKTOP. Running games fullscreen allows the game to use more of the graphics card's vram.

I don't run windowed, I'm stupid. :)

I already have DirectX10, but why would I need it? Blockland is OpenGL.

did it work?

Only a couple more FPS.

And both the computers I tested it on the old one and the new one are LAPTOPS. I said nothing about desktops at all.

I had so much fun with this game, it's honestly beauty when on maxed, especially with 25+ fps :)

I'm actually guessing your processor may be a problem. Maybe get a new one, because 1.6Ghz is looow.

Dual Core 1.6GHz*

So it's in essence 3.2GHz.

NVIDIA ION. Like I said, I can play newer games like Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Portal, Company of Heroes, on lowest settings at the same resolution and get 25 fps+

Now I noticed that deleting all the weapons off the map put a huge increase of fps, but it still doesn't explain why the 5 year old laptop gets over 30+ fps more than I do, even at the same draw distance and graphics settings.

I have Dual Core 1.6GHz each core, 2GB RAM, and 883 MB of VRAM. I think my requirements suffice.

Thanks for the help but you didn't have to explain all that. I'm competent in computers, and I've built two PC gaming rigs, I just don't have access to them.

And you didn't notice that my new laptop has a MUCH better graphics card then my old laptop, but it is right now 3 fps, while the old laptop is getting 30. And it's a laptop, I can't really change the card out.

I think the issue is RAM, I'm using about 80% of it now. Didn't think about that at the time.

I think the drivers are all up to date but I'll check it now, I'll keep you posted.

I'm sorry for double posting but I forgot to say that the new laptop, the EEEPC, has 883.0 MB of VRAM.

Help / Very low FPS?

« on: July 09, 2010, 10:19:09 AM »

Hey guys, I'm a 20ker, so go ahead, troll me, but I played TBM and RTB before retail came out.

So there's my introduction.

Here's the issue. I'm on an ASUS EEEPC 1201n, which is a 12.1 inch netbook with a dual-core 1.6GHz processor, and NVIDIA ION chip that can run Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, on lowest settings with about 25-40 FPS. It has mb of VRaM. I have another 5 year old laptop that my little sister uses to play with me on LAN, and it's got a single-core 2GHz processor and only 64mb of VRAM. My netbook runs on Win7, and the old laptop on XP.

The issue is this: The old laptop on the server I'm on currently with a few thousand bricks gets about 40-60 FPS with all settings low and a lower resolution, while the newer laptop, which can run much newer games than the old laptop, only gets 7 FPS in those regions. All the settings are on the lowest, and my resolution is 800x600 on a native 1366x768 resolution. What's the deal? I should be getting much better FPS than this, considering I'm on a much newer laptop with better specs? Is it that I'm on Win7? But it shouldn't be THAT huge of a difference, correct?

Thanks in advance, and for reading that wall of text.
