Problems with FPS while gaming on MBPr Retina

Ok, I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2012. I recently started playing games on it, most seem to be ok but I'm running Windows Via VMware Fuision, it worked great...for a time. I am playing a game, that at times, has a lot of graphic qulaity and a lot going on at one time. I lowered the quilaty but still it seems jumpy like the the GPU cant keep up with the FPS. I and a 1Gb GPU. Is there anything else I can do to stop this and let in play as normal or this a problem with something different than that GPU?? I was looking into external GPUs but that seems WAY too expensive, at the moment until that design one espcailly for it. Just looking for some friendly advice.

Install Windows via BootCamp this allows the game you are playing to use all of the resources the computer has. Using VM Ware your computer has to power both Windows and Mac at the same time. Therefore performs slower. Also the GPU has to power a higher resolution screen (Retina Display) which will lower FPS.

Satellite M70 - Drastic drop in FPS while gaming

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite M70-148.
Link: [See here|http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=NL&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=109803]
I have bought my laptop in febuari 2006. I've been playing the game America's Army v2.5 since that time.
Since 4-5 months I have been getting serious drops in FPS while gaming. I am talking about from 85 FPS (steady with the highest settings) to more frequently drops to 30-40 FPS and even more to 8-10-15 FPS (on the bare lowest settings).
At first I thought this could be fixed by increasing RAM memory, so i bought 2 sticks of 1 GB RAM. And this didn't work at all.
I've installed a fresh backup, with nothing but Windows XP (Home, legal of course with all updates) and the game and i'm still experiencing the drops in FPS.
What I seem to be hearing is the fan blowing harder when I get the FPS drop and sometimes it does the same when it goes back to 85 fps.
Because it has been able to run smoothly before I am inclined to think that this is some hardware malfunction that is causing this problem.
Is there any way I can replace/upgrade the hardware inside my computer?
Or can someone give me a suggestion as to where i should look to find the problem?
Thanks a LOT!

If you think you have a hardware problem with your notebook, I would go to a service partner from Toshiba.
You can search for a partner in your region on this website:

I hope this helps you...

Alad, I have noticed only one similar error:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored
You probably want to start a 32-bit application with bumblebee on a 64-bit system. See the "Note" box in Installation.
but I have all needed lib32.
Or am I wrong?

Some problems with FPS

Good Evening everyone,I have one problem and I need to fix it of course
I have MSI GE70 2PE Apache Pro.This is my first notebook so I do not know a lot of things about gaming nooteboks.I am pretty happy with the performance when my notebook is plugged in but I have big problem with performance on battery.I can play on 40fps(for me not that bad) like for 10 minutes and then just suddenly my FPS dropped to 10-15FPS every time when my notebook is plugged out.And then it is really hard to play...
Sorry for my bad english I hope you understand me
Thanks

It's a gaming laptop which will do its best to consume both AC power and battery power to provide you the maximum performance. If you unplugged the AC power, of course it will affect the performance of the gaming experience since it can only consume power from the battery.
The important thing is, will you get FPS drops even when you're using both AC power and the battery?

I am facing lots of problems with security while using Mozilla. How can I send you a detailed report for this?

I am getting redirected to unknown sites whenever I open any site while using mozilla. Initially I thought that there is a problem with my device, but then I realized that this happens only when using mozilla, not with other browsers like chrome, IE, or opera.
These sites are mainly having the message 'Ad by ShopDrop'..
I am pasting below links to few sites to which I get redirected to

Problem with session while sending a multipart-form (a file via post)

I have a problem with the communication between my applet and my server. I use a method to post an xml to my server with the Content-Type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and with it I'm not having any problem to preserve the session.
However I use another method I found in the forums to post files and try to adapt it, but I'm being send from the server to the login page because it's not recognizing my session
Can anybody help me? This is my method
public String uploadFile(String adr, BufferedImage img) {
        String res = "";
        String CONTENT_BOUNDARY = "--abvx98734732";
        String s;
        File f = null;
        URL url;
        URLConnection conn;
        try {
            url = new URL(adr);
            conn = url.openConnection();
            conn.setDoOutput(true);
            conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                    "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + CONTENT_BOUNDARY);
            conn.setRequestProperty("file-Name", "process_image.jpg");
            DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
            wr
                    .write(("--"
                            + CONTENT_BOUNDARY
                            + "\r\n"
                            + "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"fileData\"; filename=\""
                            + "process_image.jpg" + "\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpg\r\n\r\n")
                            .getBytes());
            ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", wr);
            wr.write(("\r\n--" + CONTENT_BOUNDARY + "--\r\n").getBytes());
            wr.flush();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn
                    .getInputStream()));
            while ((s = in.readLine()) != null) {
                res += s;
            in.close();
        catch (MalformedURLException muo) {
            muo.printStackTrace();
        catch (IOException io) {
            io.printStackTrace();
        return res;
    }This is how I preserve session in my other method:
private static final String SESSION_KEY = "_session_id";
URLEncoder.encode(SESSION_KEY, "UTF-8") + "=" +
URLEncoder.encode(sessionId, "UTF-8");
wr.writeBytes(content);
....

Yes, the only way is to pass the value u want in the query string. But make sure that the value is not too large.
In case you have too much info i guess the only way is to circumvent multipart and handle the process in your own custom class, which wont be worth the effort if u need pass only 2-3 small parameters.
Always,
Leo.
Hi,
Before I upload a file, I want to get a few parameter
values (getParameter) on the form first. I've tried
using com.oreilly.servlet MultipartRequest and a few
other free servlets but they require that the file
must to be uploaded first. For example:
MultipartRequest multi = new
MultipartRequest(request,filepath, 10*1024*1024);
//this will instantiate the object and upload the
file
String command = multi.getParameter("command"); //get
the form parameter
Is there any way I can get the parameter first before
uploading the file? I truly appreciate any helps you
can provide me.
Regards,
Lily

Facing problem with SOAMANAGER while working on ABAP Client Proxy

Dear Community Friends & Experts,
I am facing a problem with the SOAMANAGER, I think so. Let me explain you a scenario what I am into:
The scenario is like I need to Push data from BI table to SAP PI. We decided to go using ABAP client proxy as Sender and then will
receive it using FTP adapter to FTP address.
I have created Integration repository design object Data types, Message types, interfaces and mapping. Now I am into SAP BI and running SPROXY and generated proxy for my outbound interface. fine.
Till now its okay.Now I wanna my generated proxy to be available within the SOAMANAGER T-code I am not able to find my proxy in the list.
Can anybody send me detailed steps for outbound proxy to SOAMANAGER for creating local port for proxy. I wanna use proxy with WS adapter.
Second Query:
I need to using RSPC in SAP BI to trigger the proxy what code to write with SAP PI 7.0 version.
Can anybody bring some light to this problem...
<h5>Regards,
Gaurav Patwari </h5>

Dear Experts,
Problem solved, cannot say solved but yes its not required now as I am having Client Proxy call so it will be a native call to XI and which does not need SOAMANAGER things.
Thank you all for taking your time and writing answers.
Regards,

Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

Dear All,
Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through the Portal to access the ABAP Database through Web browser.
I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.
thanks,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak M on Jul 1, 2009 1:16 PM

Deepak,
Try giving the foll roles,
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role
and groups,

Problem with WiFi while traveling - connects to Hotspot, but cannot open page in Safari

Local (hotel) hotspot requires login - fine, have account. But Safari only takes me to login page sometimes, other times simply gives "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Server has not stopped responding, e.g. I can reach it with a laptop. Problem is Safari refuses to give up on stale connection, start over. Same problem with iPad. Same problem with Google browser (different verbiage). Have tried turning off, on WiFi, rebooting device. Any tips on how to get Safari to let go and start over so it gets to local login page?

Found this on another discussion: go to your setting - general - reset - reset network setting
This is a brutal step, should be completely unnecessary, but it seems to work.
Apple needs to fix this - obviously from other discussions, many people are encountering similar problems.

Problems with FPS on Macbook Pro Retina while playing WoW

Hi,
So, just a few days ago, I could play World of Warcraft on a highly populated server with around 30 FPS at all times on ultra graphics. All of a sudden, when I logged in last night, I got between 5-8 FPS if I was lucky, and had to turn my graphics down to fair or even low to get around the same FPS or better as before. Do you guys think this could be software or hardware? I don't really care about not playing the game with full graphics, but is instead worried if there could be something wrong with the machine itself.
Cheers
Running 10.8. Higher MBP Retina model with 512 GB flash standard and 16GB of added RAM.

There are several threads on this on Blizzard website. You need to do an SMC reset (this worked for me): http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

Problem with JTree while expanding/collapsing a node

Hi,
I'm using a JTree for displaying the file system.
Here, i want that whenever a node get expanded,
it should show the latest files/directories under that node.
Now, what i'm doing is, getting all the files/dir's using files.listFiles(),
under that node and then creating a new node and adding it to parent (all in expand() method).
But, now the problem is, while doing this whenever the parent node get expanded its adding all the latest files/dirs into the previous instance
resulting the same file/dir is displaying twice,thrice.. and so on, as that node is expanded and collapsed.
i tried removeAllChildren() in collapse() method but then that node is notexpanding at all .
Can anybody help me please...
i got stuck b'coz of this only.
Thanks...

Now what i'm doing is every time expand() get called,
i'm comparing all the children of that node in the
current instance with all the children present in the
file system (because there is a possibility that some
file/dir may be added or deleted)
is this the right wy or not?it certainly is not wrong, but as usual, there is more than 1 way to implement this...
b'coz right now i'm getting all the files/dirs that
are newly added but facing some problem if somebody
deletes a file/dir.
i'm still trying to get the solutionthen you should not just compare all the children of the node with the files/dirs but also the other way round. compare the files/dirs with the children to determine if the file/dir still exists and if not remove the node.
or you could check if the file which a node represents exists and if not remove the node.

Problem with FPS in fullscreen.

Hello, for several days, regardless of the quality of the source, cut me(not enough FPS) after switching to fullscreen. The same thing happens when I right-click menu, expanding flash menu in the window. Clearing your cache, use different cleaners, install any version of flash / java, codecs, does not solve the problem. Is it 240P or 1080p loses fps very much, the same thing with Internet broadcasts. Everything happens regardless of which browser I use. WinXP SP3. I also tried to update the drivers from the graphics and disable hardware acceleration in flash. Nothing ... Help!
Sorry for my english.

Hi,
Updating the video card driver and turning off the hardware acceleration are two things that should help. It is better if you get your Driver update from the manufacturer's site.
You could try viewing in a lower resolution and see if that helps.
If you need further help, post back your Operating System, 32bit or 64bit and browsers & versions used.
What version of Flash Player are you using? Check here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
