Hey guys, first post here but I am trying to play survival and the lag is so bad. I turned all the graphics down to low and I could just about navigate along the road. Then it just crashed out right.
ALSO I want to point out that I could run farcry 3 on my laptop without my fan burning up and I try and run this game and it almost destroys my fan the amount of strain it is putting on it :(
I really do want to play this game, I played it a lot in alpha but it seems it's gotten very graphically intensive. Any suggestions or help please??
-
personally if it were me id opt for a stand alone pc (desk top pc) then a laptop as when ive played on laptop it over heats and i have less issues on my pc then laptop but you could use an extra fan to blow on to your laptop to cool it down were its over heating.
AWS still needs work on which platforms/computers it can work on, its a known issue that some players using laptops have issues, try sending your laptop specs to support@afterworld.ru and a description of whats been happenening devs may be able to help. best of luck.

Thanks, iv managed to get it to work (it crashes my whole graphics card about 5 times in the space of 10 minutes) but its slightly bareable, excluding that and lots of other bugs. I mean seriously though why could the devs not keep alpha because moving people over? I had no problem with alpha on this laptop but now I seems it explodes with even 'low'.
Anyways i'm also stuck in the tutorial area. It says to mine the stone. I do that for about 5 minutes with auto pick on and nothing happens... If you say it might be the wrong stone Iv looked around the whole area, there are no other stones :/

if your stuck in tutorial wirte up an helpdesk ticket and you can move along. You dont have to finish everythign to go on. make your life a bit easier. And graphicly all new games are graphiclly challenging. Every engine out puts alot on the card.

i'd say if its a solid moss covered rock then wrong rock

hey,
if u change game mode on low, and from that point u reduce another graphic specs u will not be able to play at all, the crashes r from those verry low video settings, try to select just low and let the default low to set itself , and i will be able to play, ofc is possible to have the lagg again, but no more crashes than everyone else,

it is a plague for AW those untimely Lagging. :-\
-
Well guys, iv given up now. Iv tried everything and I think this game is unplayable for me -_-
Which is a shame I was hoping to get back into it. Hopefully when I next check on the game it will be nice and optimised :>

Zip, have you tried using the Auto Detect Quality button? It picks the setting based on your hardware but seems to be a little hit-or-miss for some people. If it doesn't work for you try using the Low setting under Quality, then try Medium. Some people find that a higher setting works better than lower ones so just try each of the Quality settings out and you may get lucky.
For the picking part of the tutorial there are two pickable rocks. The first is directly in front of you when you walk through the rock wall's opening. The second is just outside of the rock wall and to the right of the opening. None of the other rocks in the area can be picked.
