Has anyone tried playing GW on a notebook...

Well the case is the laptop is my girlfriend's and i was trying to get it to work so we can play it together (I have pci-express desktop with AMD64 and geforce6600GT so no problem there :P). Her laptop is fairly new its a fujitsu, with Intel Centrino 2Ghz and 512 DDR ram and 852/855 graphics. At the moment I'm trying the driver posted by Jurrit and weirdly enough its working....its an older driver but it works for now (computers are odd things...)!

The link that Jurrit posted works, I just tried it with my 852/855 on my laptop and my problems are gone! Thanks you guys, I can finally enjoy this game.

Oh, and the Intel website is hard to navigate, so just get this one, read the readme.txt to make sure you have one of the listed chips, and install it.

My specs are as follows

3.0ghz P4
512mb RAM
ATI mobility Radeon 9700 128mb
60GB 5400rpm HDD

I run the game very nicely at 1280x800 (that is a 16:10 widescreen resolution) with medium quality settings and AA forced (because aliasing problems piss me off)

Unless you're in a icebox I suggest not playing GW on a Laptop/Notebook.
Since most notebooks have poor ventilation/cooling its going to heat up faster then a oven in there.

not in my laptop. It gets hot ya, but put ur comp on a table and u should be fine. Mine get about 141 hd degrees tops.

Just pickup a laptop cooling pad, they are very cheap and will save you alot of problems in the long run. Especially if you are using your notebook for other things then typing, ie graphics, video, etc.

My laptop with P4 3.06GHz 512MB RAM and Geforce FX5200Go can handle GW fairly decently, sure it gets hot but it never gets close to overheating just because I clear the dust off the fans every now and then.

In short: Don't buy computers/notebooks with integrated onboard graphics. It's that simple!

I used a Dell D600
1.4 Ghz 1Gb Ram, on a 11mb wireless connection, with a ATI 9000 GPU. I did have to drop all the graphics down but it was very playable while I was traveling for work.

I run on the HP ZX5040U model Laptop.

2.8 Intel
512 MB Ram
64 MB Radeon Mobility 9200 (Dedicated)

I run the game on the 3rd level of graphics which is the recommended when I click the recommended button and have no problems what-so-ever.

I also have a 2nd copy running on a desktop that is listed below

2600 Athlon
512 MB Ram
128 MB Nvidia MX440 Graphics

The Desktop recommend setting is the lowest you can do. If I put it higher I get the black screen error from over-heating. For all those who are over-heating click on the recommend settings button and leave it there and see if you have problems I believe most of you are just trying to run on the higher settings then the game would like you to.

Impressive.

I'm running on a Dell 9300 and loving it. The 6800 Mobile version is quite happy playing at 1920x1200 and max everything. Its making my Desktop angry

hehe, my last laptop died a nasty death. I don't know why it failed for sure, but I'm pretty sure it was due to running 2 EVE Online clients simultaneously for several months (no, not continuously!). One day it decided that it would rather make pretty pictures on the screen then fail to boot. I check the fans religiously on the new laptop!

Its runs fine for me on a Dell Latitude 110L Celeron M 1.3 with 768MB RAM.

The Intel integrated GMA 900 inside the 910GML chipset actually runs quite well at 1024x768 medium quality textures. Just make sure you use the PV14.9 drivers, as the 14.11 drivers seem to bluescreen.

The 852/855 might be a little lacking, as they use the older Intel Extreme/2 for video (about half the speed of the Intel GMA 900) but you may be able to squeak by at 800x600 low quality textures if you have an 855. The 852 was the low end version of the 855, so I would say it probably won't be acceptable for gameplay.

BTW: Just finished Hells Precipice.. So I guess I'm finished the PVE, except maybe the temple of ages.

EDIT: PV 14.13 drivers bluescreen crash for me just like 14.11 does when manipulating inventory.

I could definetly use some advice here. The game runs extreme choppy at any graphic setting for me (especially in battles), and seems to overheat quite a bit. (although canned air has rectified this situation a bit). I could play WoW, shadowbane, anarchy online, daoc, asherons call 1 and 2 and various FPS shooters with this laptop at default settings... I'd like to play this game the best my computer will do it, but it doesn't seem to be playing seamlessly regardless of how low the settings are.

I have a Fujitsu Lifebook S, 2GHz centrino 1GB ram & Intel GMA 915 with the newest drivers same problems with the bluescreen while using salvage kits and messin around in the inventory.

Thanks for the tips!! I'm gonna try the older versions. Otherwise it runs fine on medium/high details 1024x768

EDIT/

Woot it works now. It turned out I only thought I had the newest driver when I hadn't visited Intel's site, thanks for that tip, was stupid enough to think Fujitsu would have updated their site. It's running fine now with PV 14.16

Hi everyone could any body possibly tell me if the dell latitude d600 would play Guild wars.
Here are its details:
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.3GHz
RAM: 512MB RAM
Harddisk: 20GB HDD
Windows: Windows XP Pro
32mb graphics.
Thanks

Intel has a game compatability site for laptop graphics chipsets http://www.intel.com/products/laptop...chips_body+lap, which tells you what to do if the game isn't 100% compatible.
I had to roll my graphics drivers back to play successfully.

My setup:
System Model: Inspiron 1200
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.30GHz
Memory: 760MB RAM
Page File: 307MB used, 1547MB available (I changed this myself)
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
Display Memory: 128.0 MB
Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Driver Version: 6.14.0010.4704 (English)

I run Guild Wars at work on a HP Dv8315nr notebook it has:
AMD Turation64 1.8 ghz cpu
1 gig ram
2 hard drives 100 gigs and 120 gigs both internal
ATI Mobility Radeon 200M graphics with 128 megs of dedicated ram(seperate from system ram)

I run Guild Wars at 1440x900 with no problems. There is a problem with certian Intel Graphics chipsets running Guild Wars but there are workarounds for that.
On what I have I had toturn a fewhings down but Guild Wars plays fine with the framerates in the low to mid 30's.

My laptop has:

Pentium M 1.6 processor
768mb of ram
32mb Radeon 9000 mobility

It runs well on low to medium settings at 1024x768.

I strongly doubt it would even boot up the game

as for running it, 90% sure it wont, 100% sure the lag will be so bad you wont want to
