What processor is best?

Hey guys so I'm new to RoM and I was wondering if the specs on my new laptop would be good enough to play this game without any lag or problems. Its a Lenovo y510p with:
  • Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz Processor 8 GB DDR3 RAM
  • Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M SLI
  • 1TB + 8GB SSHD
I'm not entirely retarded with this stuff. It's just I read several threads about how the game doesn't play well with Intel processors. Any help?

the better your computer is built, the less reliant runes of magic becomes.

saying that, the processor won't really matter unless you plan on having multiple clients open at once.

And daym, those are good specs. Way more than sufficient for ROM.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I won't have any problems. All I ever read is "its lagging" or "your processor is too new" lol

It may be quite annoying, but if the game is crashing alot try and turn off some of the effects and/or adjust some/all of the settings to low(er). I turn off the water effect and shadow options.

It doesn't matter how good your graphics card is or how good your processor is, you will still crash if you have the game on high settings. You just won't have any FPS or graphics lag. I can put out probably around 90-100 FPS on high settings, but it crashes constantly, which to me just isn't worth the hassle so I keep it on super low with a memory cleaner and it sort of fixes the crashing, though it still happens too often.

/\ Borella is correct.

And BB, and well everyone.


You could run it on higher graphics with a mem cleaner and crash less. But you will still crash


I have found a few settings which lets you still have pretty pictures, but minimalize crashes with a better system.

Terrain Shader- low
Shadow Detail- Low
Water Reflect- off
Water Refraction- off
Bloom- on
Distort FX- checked
Automatic detail Adjustment-checked
Sky detail- lowest


I play with all my other settings pretty much as high up as they go. I don't crash all that much even playing multiple clients. But if you drop terrain texture next, then world detail, then character detail and view distance maybe to half. Do that only as you test it till you find the right fix for your playstyle.


This way you keep as much pretty as possible and reduce crashes. These adjustments address stuff that takes up the most memory to address and the least needed for a pretty look first and then works its way down.


Hope that helps all.
