    Anybody else notice how smooth this game runs? I have a a dual core laptop with 1 gb of ram and a 7000m nvidia graphics card with shared memory so i never play games on it. But this game runs great ! I can run it on high pretty much without a good framerate. I needed a game to play since i sold my xbox and thank god i can play this. Love the game so far !

    Did you read the system requirements? They're a joke.

    They even have a "Notebook" mode that will run the game smoothly. Chances are if your PC can run Windows XP, it can run this game.

    i tried this on my netbook, it seemed to run pretty well. all the netbook mode appears to do is make the screen reeally small, almost unreadable, and turn all the graphics to low.

    The in-game clock said 10 hours but my Steam profile said 14, so I'm guessing the in-game clock pauses when you're in town or in a menu or something.

    I think they are working on a patch for this right now, it was something like: they decided to decompress all the game files, but oddly they are read faster when compressed.  Snoop around the runic game forums and you'll find information on it.  Should be released soon.

    Yes i have the same problem, the games run's fine normally. But once in a while it just freezes for like 2 or 3 seconds. Its not unplayable but it just really annoying when you know that you can run the game but it still freezes. I hope they fix this soon. It's stopping me from playing the for a long time.

    I had a similar issue with Borderlands on my laptop. Downloading the latest drivers at the Nvidia website fixed the problem for me. Try it out.

    I'm running it on a Dell 1545 with a core 2 duo, Intel GMA X4500HD, and 4GB of ram. I can run the game with everything turned on and the highest resolution (1366x768) with no problems. If you want to make money, make it so anyone, especially those with non-gaming rigs, can run it. Thanks Runic!

    Yeah that's probably the biggest pitfall - I always loved D2 ---- click on town portal, you're there.
