Two and a half years ago I used to play AssaultCube on an older computer, and it ran great. I now try to play AssaultCube on my newer computer, and it's really slow. What should I do? Here are my specs:
Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 32 bit
Intel Celeron CPU
2 GB of RAM
If you need more spec information, just tell me how to look it up.

right-click on your desktop and select "Graphics Properties..."
The dialog box that appears should give useful info about your graphics card.
- What brand is it?
- How much memory does it have?
- Are there any "special features" turned on?

Do you have a laptop, desktop, or one of those all in one things?

Be carefull with Windows update and graphics drivers! at work i had several people complain that their laptops (brandnew Dell) were slow and not able to run all kinds of simple programs older mchines could. I did the normal things inclueding windows update especially as Win7 had alrady identified a performance issue with the Nvidia kernal. Well Win update said all was latest specs, but still the problem persisited. Now sure it was the graphics drivers I went to the Nvidia site and DL the updater, well it found that my version 1.100.260 need to be updated to 2.600.300, the change was nothing short of a miracle, all Laptops now run really fast.
Morale of this story, dont trust Windows updates!

Sorry for taking so long to reply! After reading your posts, I decided to go on Intel's website and it gave me the correct drivers.
AssaultCube now runs at 200 FPS, but the graphics are really basic, LMAO! Thank you everybody!

I don't know what Windows Update was supposed to do, but it somehow gave me drivers for Windows Vista instead of Windows 7.
My graphics option was set to "horrible", so I turned it all the way up. The game looks much better. Thank you for your help!

I had to update multiple times -- it didn't give me what I needed first (like there were prerequisite updates to download the newer updates)
Glad you got it working :)

Try turning off everything in the background. This game isn't too hardware intensive.
