Playing games

I was wondering if you could play the "Total War" series on a macbook with the GMA x3100 graphics card? Thats the only system requirement I'm not sure on, the rest of my system specs are here... http://support.apple.com/kb/SP12 ... I have the black one with maxed out RAM... anyone..?

What are the game's system requirements? If your computer meets those requirements, then you should be able to play it.

  • It hangs when playing games

    My system is Windows 7 - 64 bit operating system
    I've used Firefox for many many years and always praised it compared to EI. I am afraid I wont be able to praise it much more. It stinks. It hangs mostly when I am playing games or looking at pictures or videos. Its worse when on Facebook but also happens on other web site. I did all the troubleshooting, updates, remove old versions and re install, disable add ons all and all Its driving me insane. Can you solve the problem with a new versionof Firefox or do we have to flush the darn browser for good.
    Thank you

    anyone has a solution until a new version comes out?

    Hi Grandmaz5,
    If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

    Hey SorhanDarkOps, 
    I'm sorry you're running into this sound issue. It sounds like you've done a good job troubleshooting already. Let me know which product number you have. You may be able to find it by pressing FN + ESC (if you used the HP Recovery partition to reinstall Windows). You can also find the product number on an HP label on the bottom of the computer (possibly inside the battery compartment). 
    Also, it would be helpful to know which IDT Audio driver version you have. 
    Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers > IDT > Properties > Driver tab > Driver version number
    When you have a game open, minimize it and check to see which sound device is the default. To do that:
    1. Right-click on the Speaker icon in the System Tray
    2. Click Playback Devices
    3. Let me know which (Speakers & Headphones, Communication Headphoens, etc.) device has the green checkmark on it.
    Do you get sound through headphones in games?

  • Receiving calls when playing games

    When I play games on my droid razr maxx and someone calls me, they get a message that I am playing a game. Is there a setting to change? I really don't need anyone to know what I am doing on my phone when they call me.

    My guess is that it is the game you are playing that is generating this response.  I know some games I play, when I have an incoming call, it auto-saves the game and allows me to answer or ignore the call.

  • No volume when playing games.

    I have iPad 2 v 4.3.5 OS. when I am playing games such as Angry Birds, I do not have any volume. can anyone help me with this. also it is not full game, just free app.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Powermac crashes when playing games

    Hi. I've got a problem with my Powermac G4 (Dual 450MHz).
    Everytime I play a game (Quake 3 or Redline for example) the mac crashes sooner or later and I need to reboot. I've checked RAM, fixed HD permissions, fixed the HDs and cleared all cache. The mac has a stock ATI Rage128 Pro and 640 MB RAM. My mac crashes only when playing games, never when in "normal use".

    Hi
    It may be worth just checking the ventilation holes in the case aren't clogged with dust etc and the case fan is still spinning okay. If games are the only time you 'stress' the processors (e.g. you don't also use it for DVD encoding etc), perhaps it's a heat issue. You could try temporarily using it with the case open to see whether it makes any difference, which would also allow you to check the fan(s). It seems unlikely but it may be worth a shot.

  • Humming noise when playing games

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me solve a buzzing noise I'm getting when playing games.
    I have a x-fi fatalty, gtx 480 in SLI and a x58a-ud3r motherboard and for the most part the x-fi works fine, however when I play 3d games I get a very irritating buzzing sound coming from the speakers while playing.
    Things I've tried...
    Switching off SLI / only having one graphics card installed - no difference
    Wrapping the x-fi in electrical tape to stop interference - no difference
    Switching the pcie slot - no difference
    Latest BIOS - no difference
    Trying x-fi different drivers - no difference
    Using on board audio - no buzzing at all
    Switching off 3d audio and crystallizer- reduces buzzing significantly but?still?there!
    I'm out of ideas now... anyone else had this problem?
    T_L_T

    Well, I got Windows 7, I cleaned the inside which was quite dusty. I launched Left 4 Dead, had a minute of calm, then the sound of my fan started to increase slowly to the point when it sounds a bit like when you turn a Mac Pro on. It seems slightly better though. Probably by doing a full cleaning of the inside I could make it a bit less noisy.

  • Choosing gpu when playing games

    Hi,
    I own a hp g6-2305sl running win 8.1, it's not a bad laptop, the only thing I can't control is the gpu when playing games.
    I have AMD catalyst 14.9 and HD Intel driver 153330, but when I go to device manager there is only AMD HD 7600M series and not AMD HD 7670M. And also even if I select maximize performance and set the high performance gpu for games, game is slow has hell, like using the Intel gpu.
    Please post a solution

  • Sound lag when playing games

    Hi,
    My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
    There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example.  My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
    The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
    I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
    I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..

  • Computer lags when playing games.

    Hi folks.
    I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
    1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.  
    2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
    3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
    Is there anyone who can help me out???
      plz help

    Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
    Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
    Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
    VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
    Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
    Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
    So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
    And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
    Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

  • When playing games on my iPod touch.  Some are stutters and non responsive

    Trying to play games on my iPod touch and they are slow, stuttery and non responsive. iPod software is up to date

    Do the games require an internet connection? If so then maybe slow connection.
    otherwise:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • When playing games on facebook, I often get the message "virtual memory too low, is being increased" Is there something I can do to clean out the "virtual memory" to avoid this?

    As mentioned in my question above, it happens usually during playing games. I wondered if there were someway to clean out the virtual memory, as opposed to it "increasing" continually and overloading my memory in general. You are speaking with a computer novice for the most part, so I am unfamiliar with a lot. I do do updates and general maintenance on the computer, but is that enough for this issue?

    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    * Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
    Update the [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Physical memory is the memory that is installed on your computer as real memory. To be able to run programs that require more memory and more programs at the same time (via time sharing and task switching) it is also possible to move (swap) currently not needed code and data to disk to make room for other programs and data. The total memory available for programs is the Virtual Memory.
    You can check the Virtual Memory settings here: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings (Advanced tab)<br />
    Windows can manage more memory then is physical available and that memory is stored in a page file on your hard drive.
    If the size of that file is not large enough and all available memory is in use then you get the Virtual Memory is low warning.
    Make sure that you have at least 1 GB or the recommended setting for the Virtual Memory.
    If you have less than 1 GB physical memory installed on your computer then if possible add more memory.

  • When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

    When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Exactly what program is throwing that request message?
    Does that message list any details, such as WHAT will be written/saved to your computer?
    As ATR mentions, I am not sure how PrE figures into the mix. I would anticipate that your message is coming from FaceBook, or from the OS, or from your anti-virus/anti-malware program.
    Regardless, be VERY wary of any program, or Web site, that wants to write to your computer, unless you have delibertly invoked something that you DO want to do so.
    Good luck,
