Can any one please tell me why a games like COD MW3,F1 2012 and so on work flawlessly on high settings with my laptop and anarchy online struggles to get more than 20fps.
For some reason it makes no difference if I choose a high-res, low-res, all effects on, all effects off. I don't think I've seen more than 25fps indoors facing a wall.
Something I'm doing wrong? buggered if I know what it could be.

How much is enough?

Because those games don't rely on DX7, which has been unsupported by newer hardware for years. Because those games aren't 99.9% reliant on the CPU and can actually take full advantage of graphic cards.
I see, well its about time funcom pulled their finger out and got it sorted. I must admit when I saw how well this laptop ran modern games before I bought it I simply assumed it would run AO like lightning.
I'm not usually one for ranting on forums but it really is disappointing that it performs so badly. I'm aware its not going to be as simple as flipping a switch to fix it but with the MMORG market being so competitive I cant see how they can afford not to keep up. My old tower ran it perfectly but that died thus the purchase of the new laptop.
It's a shame as I've enjoyed playing AO for years but with this issue and the fact its been battered to the bone with the nerf hammer, well I don't think I'll be renewing my subscription next year.
To badNext year Q1 this should be fixed with arival of new engine.
I do genuinely hope your rightTo bad
Everything mentioned here sounds pretty much right. I am curious though are you using a laptop which uses optimus? (ie. is able to switch from say intel graphics to nvidia graphics depending on the application).
My alienware m14x ran AO like crap until I white listed AO in the nvidia graphics options and insured AO is using "Primary Display Driver - Direct3D TL HAL" in the AO launcher settings.

I white listed Anarchyonline.exe and anarchy.exe. Not sure if both are necessary but I just wanted to insure that when I run the launcher (anarchy.exe) that it is told to use the high performance card so that it is chosen as the primary display device. I white listed anarchyonline.exe because it is the executable that remains running when you are in the game. These are just my observations and they may not be perfect.
