The severe frame rate issues don't pop up on the desktop as often simply because it has ample power available for it and therefore allows the single core frequency to reach much higher levels. There was another dude on the forums recently that was attempting to run the game on an A10-4600M, also with very limited success - it comes as no surprise his A8 underperforms. The reasoning is it has the same inefficient architecture used in AMD's very power hungry FX CPUs (that have a very low IPC to begin with) and it shares this extremely limited power budget with the integrated graphics to boot. No, there isn't, his CPU is actually slower than a Core 2 Duo system available back then.

There's really not much that can be done without playing it on very low settings at the lowest resolution possible until you can actually get a PC that is even remotely gaming grade - having frame rate issues that dire on a 10 year old game must tell you something about your computer's hardware. I'm afraid there isn't much that can be done, you have a very low end processor with a very unfavorable architecture for gaming, and integrated graphics to boot. I'd hate to ask for more help, but this game is crushing my soul.

I tried the K-lite package, but it made my lag/fps moreintensive. I fixed the purple water on my own, but I am hoping for some better insight from you guys, than online. Also, my game crashes, when I have distant anything enabled. All I can do is alt-tab, and exit the game, and re-enter. Randomly, my mouse and keyboard stop working.

This is literally, the most tempermental game I've ever played in my life. I greatly apologize, but now I'm in need of a little more help. Originally posted by Bigike97:Thanks, everyone, for all of your help! The resolution that fixed the problem the most, was Omgwtfbbqkitten's solution.
