Author Topic: Laptop Performance Issues  (Read 908 times)

Ok.. My desktop PC has an intel 1.6mhz processor and 1gb of RAM, windows vista and a stuffty 3d family graphics card, and actually runs blockland pretty smoothly. On the other hand, my laptop pc has 3gb of RAM (not 1), an ATI Radeon 4500 card, windows 7, and the same processor speed, but flashes LAG while playing blockland and has twitchy lag spikes every second.

The laptop has an ADM processor, but only single core. I found the AMD dual core processor patch in the Download section of Blockland.us, and I was wondering if this would work, although mine is only single core... it says the patch will fix pc's from running BL too fast, and I think thats what mine is doing. It seems that the bigger the map is and the more bricks/activity, the smoother it runs. Should I patch my laptop?

Oh, I forgot to say this. The desktop is 32 bit, and the laptop is 64 bit.


Was this on a single player server?


Doomonkey, this is on all servers. Previous, the desktop has the shifty graphics card and runs smoothly, but the laptop with the ATI radeon does not.

Testing on a non single player server will not give you an accurate result. Test both computers in single player mode.

I've done this. The laptop still runs laggy.


You could try lowering the graphics and the draw distance.
PS: I hope its not the graphics card; My new computer will have a ATI Raedon 4500.
