Been awhile, thanks for the suggestions guys. looks like i'll lower my resolution, see if that helps. See you all out there!

It took you 3 months to get back to this thread? hope its working better now after like 5-10+ patches

There is a thread that has a User.cfg file that tones down the graphics. I really dont want to have to dig for it, so I will just post my modified version of the low end User.cfg file. I modified the cl_flv so that your point of view is default, and I set cl_sensitivity so that it is half of the default value. Everything else is how it was on the forum. Just copy the text and save it as User.cfg in "C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online" folder.

I copied it i won a few fps, sadly its still not enough (10-15 fps from 8)
Hope there will be more preformance patches.

Since it works just fine on technology from five years ago (Core 2 Quads came out five years ago), how far do you want them to go back? Seven years? Ten?

Try the game again the next time you upgrade your machine.

I have a quad core i-5 2320 which would run the game flawlessly with a good graphics card. The trouble is i have an amd 7350 HD which is udderly horrid. I get 10-18 fps on all maps.

[Corvus Antaka]

This is simply NOT true. You can run this game perfectly fine on a dual core from over 6 years ago. given the engine they are using etc this is frankly amazing. PGI has worked very hard to support older machines and done a great job in this area.

If you need help getting it working you need to surf these forums or buy a new PC. For myself this game ran just great on a dual core with an old 4870 video card.

[CMGrendel]

A decent GFX card helps a great deal.

Of course, if you are running this on a laptop, then it means you are probably boned, unless your board had a decent GPU to begin with.
