Brand New Powerful Laptop, Still Getting Only 15 Fps?

Fri, 24 May 2013 00:49:39 +0000

So I know this laptop is powerful. I'm a PC guy, I know my specs. I do NOT understand why this laptop is only giving me 15 fps in MWO. It's extremely frustrating.

Specs:

Core i7-3740 QM, 2.7 ghz
16 GB DDR3 1600 ram
Nvidia GTX 675MX 4 GDDR5
256 gb ADATA SP900 SSD
1920 Resolution
Medium quality settings

No reason I should be getting 15 fps. NONE. I should easily get 60 fps on medium settings. My desktop has a Q9450 with a GTX 670 and 8 gb of RAM and I get 60 fps there on VERY HIGH settings.

I have the newest Nvidia drivers available before you ask.

Someone please give me a clue what's going on here.

For Sarah

Fri, 24 May 2013 00:46:20 +0000

We would like to give our deepest condolences to the family of one of our youngest MechWarriors, Sarah Marie Alida Parries. She was just 5 years old when she passed from inoperable brain cancer last week in Vancouver, Canada.

Sarah's favourite Mech chassis was the Jenner with streak SRMs, because she liked to lock on. She loved speeding around with nightvision and lots of medium lasers so she could, "get 'em good!" blazing through the Inner Sphere with her father Jon. Sarah was an excellent sport and shared her dad's passion for BattleTech.

"This one time daddy was playing his game in his big mech and he walked up to a baddy and the baddy just BLEW UP!"

In loving memory, Sarah's family and all of us here at MechWarrior Online kindly ask that you consider donating to your local Cancer Society or visit Cancer.ca to donate today.

Idee: Temperatursensor-Modul

Fri, 24 May 2013 00:44:36 +0000

Wie einige andere flame ich ja öfters gern sowohl im Forum als auch im Spiel.

Kann man im Forum die Effektivität eines Flames-Treads an der Anzahl der Antworten erkennen, ist es im Spiel schwer zu sagen wie effektiv die Flame-Threat ist.

Dahe fände ich ein Sensormodul toll das beim augeschalteten Mech die innere Temperatur misst und anzeigt, so das ich weiß auf wieviel Prozent ich mein Gegnr geflamed habe, ob er mich eher nicht eachtet oder ich ihn zur Weißglut treibe.

Was würdet ihr von so einem Modul halten? Ich denke ist auch ansonsten ganz nützlich wenn man wüsste wie heiß ein Gegner ist.

I Saw The Future Tonight Its The 9Th

Fri, 24 May 2013 00:38:06 +0000

I know that I will leave names out forgive me. Sealawyer or the 1st of the 9th. Helped us put on a show tonight that I have never seen the equal of in 17 years of MechWarrior. Sort of what we began to call the swarm.. He is young and brash perhaps at times to you old folks but that is because of his love of this game. I may Lord Izza say with good reason that I am not good enough for the 9th as I have been told. But this young fellow is the future like an 8 year old I played against as Draco and my son Gothic Knight he was 8 years also, so many years ago. Now what was his name? Hmm started with a P I think. What ever you think he is the future and many like him. With him tonight were three (DCMS) perhaps that also makes a point. Sorry I can't remember names. Wrote his down. If we forget your roots and history then look back to those long nights on 3025 and then see now what a great future awaits House Kurita. Hail Sealawyer, profector of the Swarm will be remembered another 17 years from now. I raise my glass of prune juice to you and other of the future.

3145- Capellan Tro

Fri, 24 May 2013 00:36:24 +0000

The great experiment that was the Republic of the Sphere has failed. Withdrawn behind the Fortress walls, the once-great power has become a silent, opaque remnant of its former glory. Without its influence, old hatreds have risen anew. As war once more rages across the Inner Sphere, new equipment strides across ancient battlefields. Technology, once stagnated by trade restrictions and peace treaties, now surges forward again, testing these new machines in the fierce crucible of war.

Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation introduces the wave of new battle armor, vehicle, ‘Mech, and aerospace units appearing across the Inner Sphere in the Dark Age era. Featuring new and matured technology, and presented in this series of faction-specific PDFs, these combat units will add excitement and variety to any game table.
