EDIT: The back to the 90s settings worked for me.

I'm recalling my original post on this term:
If we want the game to be competitive, shadows/spells/etc should be similar, or players can gain advantages changing up their settings to manipulate the graphics.

Even in a minor way, if this game turns competitive I think it will hinder it.

not that there shouldn't always be more ways to optimize but have you tried using "back to the 90s" as your settings.

Unfortunately, I still lag quite a bit when nearing other players.

The game is playable, until I get into the fray, in which I go down to 1-2FPS.

My suggestion is expand on the video settings.
Perhaps allow users to turn down Bloom, Shadows, and most importantly, Spell Detail. I think this would enable users to boost their FPS greatly.

I have it on Maximum Performance, but it's quite unplayable at the moment.
I have no chance to turn and block an Orc before he 1-shots me.



I totally agree, depending on the cpu and the graphic card, maybe just quitting shadows, u solve the trouble. Custom graphics is a must in any computer game ;C

back to the 90s is awesome.

it also gives a visual advantage in a way to tanks. They can see their whole magic shield range... its interesting.

I dont use it but i've thought about using it when i play tank =)

oh ... and nostalgia

Laptops gpus are always crippled, at least 2 generations behind desktop versions in memory bandwidth. I wouldn't expect to play a cryengine 3 game @60 fps in full hd at maximum quality on a laptop, you should lower your resolution, i'm sure it will fix it.
By the way i agree about the video option limits, they must improve it a lot and give players much more freedom to scale the game at the very best cause of the different configurations.
