Central Control Area Mist/Fog Lag

[Orancube]

Hey,

I have a laptop that runs the game just fine on higher settings, but even on lower settings the mist/fog in the central control area makes my computer lag as hell. I messed around with the settings a bit, but it didn't help.

So before I spend a lot of time on this issue, has someone experienced the same and found a fix?

My laptop specs if needed:

Thanks!

Normally PSO runs on your integrated Graphics Card by default (with no other way to change it), which will cause slow-downs in areas like CCA, Seabed, Desert.

You can force the game to use your discrete GPU using mods like ENB:

That should resolve the issues with the fog. Other than that, PSOBB is a pretty bad optimized game and you can't do much about it.

In addition to what sange said, there's also a patch somewhere to remove the CCA fog. Not sure how much it helps if any, and it probably won't help with the other problem floors like Seabed and Desert.

There are other "lag" fixes there, but I've never tried any of them.

You can disable your iGPU in the BIOS, assuming it has such an option.
