There is no guarantee that games will work on mobile graphics. I once had to hack desktop drivers to run on my laptop to get a game to work because no matter what I did there was just something strange going on with the mobile drivers. I believe CLOD has such a disclaimer on the minimum requirements from memory. If you can get it to work at all on a mobile GPU, your lucky anyway. Unfortunately that mobile GPU is no where near enough for this game.
Just for reference I have a VAIO VPC-Z128GG with 1GB GT330M, i7-620M 2.66Ghz, 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD and on CLOD I only get about 15FPS maximum with everything pretty much on minimum settings @ 1920x1080. Here's your mobile GPU compared to a bunch of others, looks like you have the 2nd fastest in that range of GT555M's. (there is no GTX555) http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.41933.0.html Its unlikely that the patch will make much difference to that level of hardware. Sorry but thems the facts! Here's my results with an external GTX580 1.5GB on the same laptop. Blackdeath 35-50FPS @ 1920x1080 Everything on high, shadows & SSAO off. (the 330M only does 3FPS with the same settings) http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26715 Minimum Requirements with supported video cards at release.....

Thanks for the info, FS-Phat.
This is really disappointing... I didn't know this game had such monstrous requirements! Lots of sims, such as the DCS series (thinking about Black Shark and A-10C) run like a charm on my machine. I guess I'll just go back to them (sigh).

@Manu:
What I don't understand is that this game has come out in what, 2011? I bought this laptop last spring with the highest laptop graphic card available at the time (Nvidia GT555M 3.0 Ghz, sorry). I run some of the most demanding games on the market without a hitch, and then, this game comes out and my hardware has become completely obsolete all of a sudden? 'Makes me sad, really. I'll wait for the patch, yet I keep in mind what Fs-Phat told me. I'm not really keeping my hopes up on this one...

DCS engine is several years old already, BF3 has much less visibility distance and models details, ROF is DX9 only... This makes CloD one of most demanding games. The patch will improve performance though.
I hope you have more than 1GB of VRAM and run Win7-64. "The NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M is a fast middle class graphics card for laptops." http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.41933.0.html You definitely need more than a middle class card for a high-end game. I used to buy notebooks but got rid of them for a desktop system that is much more easily upgradable every 1-2 years. Try playing on external CRT monitor if you have one. They allow playing at lower resolution at the same monitor size without quality loss. Last edited by Ataros; 04-17-2012 at 02:17 PM.

 We are hoping for a patch this week, if not maybe next week. The way i see it the chances of a new patch grow higher every day

The release? probably they ran out of budget, or somebody fled away with the cash...

I understand what you mean there, Manu. I hope you're right.
I mean... I wouln't die if I could not play this game, life goes on and there are lots of other decent sims on the market. I just liked the idea of having a HD cockpit and a "better" flight model to fly with, even if it meant fewer planes. Don't get me wrong, Il-46 is good-looking, sounds great (especially with mods like UPack) and is fun to fly with and I can still have lots of fun with it. With the DCS series too (I just love the excessively complex cockpit/avionics/armament systems, and it's a real treasure trove for an aerospace eng. student like me). But, you know... I just liked the idea of having something one notch higher, just for the eye candy, fantastic lighting and knowing where each switch is and what it exactly does.
