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 think Windows Update is supposed to do this for you.

Is your graphics option set to
low?

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 :)

I just tried it. The game won't accept any FPS above 200.

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

Maybe if you used decimals (float multiplication) that joke would've went over better, since computers used to have
floating point co-processors] :P
I don't think you could play AC (or a lot of anything) on that though :P

Man, these settings do not know how you can run your own seven, with their settings would be more appropriate other OS.
So I can think of something worse if it was your internet dial-up.
With your settings would be best Win XP or Linux!
