trying really hard to play, old computer

[Heahsler]

hey ive known about haven and hearth for maybe three or so years. last week I got a hankering to play. I was full expecting thing to be like they were before this new up date. I was wrong and now im lost. I have the game downloaded and it can start up, finely-time and date problem-, but its so glitch and choppy that I feel like im playing a turn-based game. is there any mods that enable the game to be run b y slower computers? -hp pavilion dv6 series with an amd mobility Radeon 4000 series gpu, all up to date but still only by 2013 standards, pc was made in 08-09... is there an option im missing in settings to make the game run smoother? I would even be fine with the old version of haven and hearth, I thought that's what I was going to be playing anyways. any help with all this hoopla would be infinitely grateful.

try a custom client, disable fluff (shadows, flower objects, simple crops).

could you recommend one to me? I saw a youtube video of a guy using ender-something- client.... does that one sound good?

Why don't you visit Wizards Tower and try them, to see which fits you best?

[Heahsler]

Exact minimum specs are still being figured out for a relatively smooth gameplay experience. Lots of code optimization could be done, too, since it's a newer client.

Other than the processor being a bit on the slower side, it should run Haven just fine (specs showing up on a quick search say 1.6 GHz, the manual for this line says anywhere from 1.6 to 2.5 or so). Try turning off shadows and Per Fragment Lighting and see if that help. I've seen others that have posted crash reports not have any issues with performance otherwise. You may also be able to upgrade the CPU/APU, depending on what's installed, for well under $100 US, and get better performance overall.
