What steps can I take to remove game lags, freeze etc in FIFA 13

[sam9953]

Hi, I am using a HP G6 2005ax. I am an avid FIFA 13 player and sometimes I see lags and slowing down of game and screen crystalization while playing the game, these days I have seen that my laptop has started to heat quite a lot when I play FIFA 13.
So I would like to know what steps can I take or what programmes can I shut down or kill so that my system efficiency improves while playing FIFA 13 and so that my laptop does not heat up too much.

Can you please explain more on these two points? What all background apps can I close? From the windows task manager, right?

What all drivers can I update and how?

Sorry if my questions are a bit rudimentary, I am quite new to gaming.

Post a screenshot of task manager showing all processes, I may be able to list all processes that can be closed. For drivers, go to HP"s website and check all drivers for available updates, especially the graphic driver for which you should go to Nvidia's and AMD'd site, whichever is the case.

Yeah will do the.screenshot in some time.
Apart from the graphics driver,.is there any other.driver which needs.update?

 

[harshilsharma63]

All drivers need update, but updating graphic driver is the only one which will affect gaming IMO.

Here is the screenshot, please tell me what all can I stop? And I see 71 processes running, isnt this too much ? If yes then how to reduce them?

Another thing I forgot to tell was that as I read on the micrsoft website, I have started to use the laptop without battery and DIRECTLY FROM THE POWER OUTPUT, does this also heat up the laptop?

Is this also responsible for heating it up?

So now I have got two issues:
One, the laptop heats up while playing FIFA 13, without battery and using the direct power source
Second, the game lags quite often and freezes, very often, even after using a good mid end graphics card.

Your laptop will be heating up because of such intensive tasks like gaming. So not to worry about that.

Second, looking at your task manager, no wonder that game is lagging. BTW Try using some Game Booster software. It will get the job done.

Why do you say that? Please tell me? Apart from using a game booster what else can I do using the task manager to improve the game speed?

1st thing is what you are experiencing is not lagg, its called frame drop. lagg is when there is a network problem .

clear up your pc, remove all unecessary software.. go to msconfig, and remove unimportant services. When you play the game set priority to high.

also reduce the resolution of the game and try and see if that helps. laptop will heat up, depending on cpu usage and gpu usage... doesnt make a big difference if its connected in a power outlet..

^^ Too many processes at background will sure make your game lag. Just use Game Booster, it is more than enough.

So using Razor Gamer booster will close all the unnecessary background processes?

Thanks for correcting me.

Yeah, the softwares that I have are quite minimum.

From where can I change the priority?

Which is the best resolution according to you, considering the fact that I will output my laptop to my HD TV, so please suggest according to that?

You sure na, that heating up of laptop will not cause any harm? Should I play the game with battery or without batter inserted?

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ For HDTV, i guess 720p will be idle. But i doubt that your lappy will handle that. Better try with 1366x768. Also using Game Booster will just stop all background process temporarily (Correct me if i am wrong)

Ya currently the resolution of my FIFA 13 is 1366 x 768 only.

And yes I checked msconfig and saw so so many running applications and its a little hard for me to decide which to stop and run,

Will game booster stop those?

And which game booster, free one should I download?

Install Catalyst 13.1 (Mobility). Get it from AMD's website. Also install HP Coolsense if you haven't.

My roommate has the same laptop and he also plays FIFA 13 a lot. No lag and no heating up for him.

Yes, I have got both these and still I am facing little heating and frame drop issues.

I also saw 13.2 but in beta stage, should I download that?

And Guys now after installing Razor game booster, the lags and frame drop has stopped but the laptop becomes so so so hot. Please tell something for that.

cpu cooler, go to the cycle repair shop and ask them to blow air into the exhaust vent... most likely your cooling solution is screwed.

installled coolsense? as ico suggested?

Yes coolsense, I already had. I mean it is installed. Really you think my cooling solution is the problem? Because the moment I switch the game off,.the heat is gone. Its all cool.

the gpu maybe overheating due to a non-working fan, to check this try gpu-z (it may or may not work ) it could also be due to dust in the area.. so just get it cleaned once.
