    I have Cities XL 2012. Whenever i play it, always lags. Why?

    My Laptop Specs:

    Intel core i5 2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz

    4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD

    VGA AMD Radeon HD 6630M

    Your processor is too slow. You have a hyperthreaded 2.3 Ghz when Cities XL needs at least 2.5 Ghz to run properly. It also most of it runs in one thread and part of it might run in another but you will get double lag if the game runs in a virtual core. I am not certain about any mobile graphics cards but graphics card problems show up differently than processor lag.


    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    I hae 3.4/3.5 ghz and it works lag-free to an extent. How much HDD space do you have? Do you have CXL mods installed? Take Ocram's recommendation and get a better comp, it will help. This makes me want to play CXL again ;)

    Best,
