I am using my laptop already for more then 3 years and Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episode One worked great!!! Half-Life 2 Episode Two also works VERY GOOD.Almost 50 fps all the time.BUT on one part where those vorts starting to heal Alyx and G-man starts to talk,the game falls down from 50 fps to 7 fps.LoL!!! Does anyone knows why this is happening? ALL my configurations are on lowest graphic quality.I installed the newest version of DirectX 9.0c,but the problem on that part of the game still occurs...
These are my laptop specifications:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
512 MB of RAM DDR2
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 with 64 MB and it has 400 mhz
Intel Pentium M processor with 1.6 GHZ
2 MB L2 cache I think...
Hard Disk Drive 37 GB (not so important if there is enough free space for the game)
Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2
DirectX 9.0c version 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will maybe installing DirectX 8 help? Some graphic options are then disabled and it may work faster...
I am also afraid to update the drivers for my graphic card since my OS was destroyed MANY times when I did it...
I mean...the entire game REALLY works fine,but that part so damn slow...Just don't tell me that I need to buy a new graphic card because I am on laptop and it's integated.
I am sure that there is a way to fix this...Any ideas?????????
