[QUOTE="Vegard, post: 129286, member: 3982"] What kind of frame rates are you getting? I think the physics engine is tied to the frame rate, so if it runs slower than usual, chances are your computer doesn't have enough juice to run the game at your current settings. Try lowering all the settings, including resolution, as low as they go and see if there's any difference. Windows 7 would probably help somewhat, but I doubt it'd be enough. Seems the 6500 is PCI-E at least, so you could pick up a cheap upgrade - assuming the GPU is the bottleneck. You can find out how much gpu power is utilized by installing MSI Afterburner, for example, and the task manager shows CPU usage. MSI Afterburner can also display what kind of fps your current full screen program is running. You have PS4 listed under your devices; if you have one of those, it'd be better to just play PA there. Hell, it's even better than the PC version at the moment (it has DX11 lighting effects). [/QUOTE]
