Hi everyone my brother just recently got the Wolfenstein game New Order and so I downloaded it on my cpu cause we have family sharing but for some reason when I play it I literally start with a cutscene and its "ok" but when I start the game in the plane my game almost literally craps itself and it goes at like 1 fps and just gets INCREDIBLY slow so I have only seen the first second of the game. Does anyone else have this problem or had it? I am pretty positive my laptop can run this at almost 60 fps because I have other games way more detailed looking than this and they work just fine. Btw I have the advanced video settings on low and at the moment it is on Windowed because that is what I read helps some problems but it still isn't working :/

It's always helpful to list your PC specs and operating system when asking for pc-related help.

Sorry I don't know computers, my brother does but he says it has 6 GB of ram, intel core i5 working at 1.6ghz but turbo boosts to 2.6ghz and intel hd graphics if that helps?

You don't have a dedicated graphics card (GPU), you're using the Intel Core i5 Processor (CPU) for graphical processing. This does not work with modern AAA games.

The Minimum System Requirements for this game are a dedicated GPU like "GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850" or higher.

Look at this list. That requirement falls around #10 or higher on that list. Integrated Intel HD Graphics are towards the bottom.

I'm sorry if I sound really stupid for saying this but I have played a ton of really good looking games that run pretty smooth (Just Cause 2 and Dragonball Xeno are just a few examples) so it doesn't really make sense that it wouldn't run at least watchable on my cpu?

Those games have much lower requirements than Wolfenstein does.

You might have a higher version of Integrated Graphics, like HD Graphics 530, which meets the requirements for both the games you listed according to the chart I linked. But it does not meet the minimum requirements of Wolfenstein.

Intel HD graphics might not be up to the task. One unsupported graphics acceleration feature is enough to make everything go incredibly slow.

That's your problem. Intel HD GPU. Your graphics chip isn't powerful enough to run the game.

MINIMUM:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8
Processor: Intel Core i7 or equivalent AMD
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850
Storage: 50 GB available space

For purposes of comparison, the 460 is several times faster than your graphics chip, and the 460 is many generations old now ...

Ive played a few other games that say really high requirements and they worked on my cpu pretty good, I don't really understand how that small thing could make it such a big problem?

It's not really a small thing, though. Games (in general) rely a lot on the GPU horsepower. Wolfenstein is a fairly new title, and while not the most glorious looking game in the world, it does require a bit of GPU "oomph" to run.

Unless your laptop was specifically purchased as a gaming laptop (and I use that term loosely because they're still inferior to desktops), you're pretty much stuck with integrated graphics, which are all around horrible for gaming ... sorry.

Laptops are usually way worse than original PC components. My father has an i7-4xxx in his laptop, 4 GB RAM, HD 560M. An i7 would sound amazing, right? Nope, it doesn't. My E6600 (dual core) could beat it with 2 GB of DDR 2 RAM, and 9400 GT. I used PAYDAY 2 as comparison, and got around the same results. Also an Intel HD sounds like a motherboard integrated videocard, and I have bad news. They are bad. They can't run games, they are enough to play movies from HDD or by streaming, but any kind of game can kill it.

Huh well that sucks :/ But my cpu can turbo boost for another ghz, doesn't that count for anything? Ive played tons of games that look really nice and never had a problem this bad before

GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850 is the minimum gpu requirement. Intel graphics were extremely low end last I heard.

i'm going to say this... make sure your intel gfx driver is updated, since this game uses opengl & intel has a history of certain games being broken on older drivers

raise your integrated video memory... somewhere in the bios settings, make it 1gb or more, i'm thinking the game is out of gpu ram & is thrashing the data into system ram, causing 1fps
