Shidentora Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Hail!I have the Game booster http://game-booster.en.softonic.com/I have dropped the FOMM shortcut into its game box and am launching it from there. But I still have lags (GAH!)I want to try to use the Large address aware enabler http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6510 and to start the game from the Game booster's gamebox. Would you do this? What do you think about this? My machine specs:Operating System MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3CPU Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6400 @ 2.00GHz Penryn 45nm TechnologyRAM 3.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-18)Motherboard TOSHIBA Portable PC (CPU)Graphics Default Monitor (1280x800@60Hz) 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (Toshiba)Hard Drives 313GB TOSHIBA TOSHIBA MK3252GSX (SATA)Audio ATI HDMI Audio Edited July 23, 2011 by Shidentora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindedStone Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 You really need a video card with 1Gb of RAM to enjoy FO3. The lag you have can fry your grapics card after a year or so. You should be playing on 1/4 settings or less. Disable AA an run 2X or 4X Texture filtering. You can also disable both AA an AF in the fallout launcher, then open your grapics card driver control panel an change the advanced settings so that the card overrides any application setting for AA an AF which has higher performance, this is backwards from other games. There is a tweekguide as well. The game isn't going to work well with mods that use 2048 or 4096 texture maps as well as any texture maps that are not in DXT compression. MMM for example uses huge texture maps. The texture packs probalby won't work either, but they at least have a low performance version. Get the vanilla game running smooth an then add mods to that one at a time. Don't focus on how well the game looks, focus on how well the animations play out an how well the physics work. Fallout New Vegas an most newer games seem to be focused more on more powerful CPU and GPU (rather than GPU only). So It would be a good time for you to start planing on building an actual gamer PC instead of that Tosh. Don't get me wrong Tosh is the best, it's just that there's only so much you can fit in that tiny space. You can drop a big wad of dough on a elite gamer laptop or you can spend less than 1/4 of the money building your own gamer rig one piece at a time. You should start thinking about it at least.

Thenks!Kudos!AA - anti aliasing?AF - atiisotropic filtering?I know that this machine is not the right choice for FO3 and I already have my settings set to a low-medium mix. That's OK with me, as I care more fot how the game works.How do I recognize the mods that use 2048 or 4096 texture maps? By their many high details?How do I anage Texture filtering? Cannot fond it in my FOMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Tweekguide http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_1.html I must be under a spell, as I cannot see anything marked by "texture filtering," unless it's included in something else.But OK, thank you for your time THANX :) Edited July 25, 2011 by Shidentora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
