Philippines' TF2 Community

I got the game running on my small 10" 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom based laptop with GMA Intel 945M Chipset.

I had to tediously tweak the machine with instructions from a steam forum -

You can try setting it up with similar laptops without dedicated graphics cards. Don't expect too much though. Games only run at 30 fps indoors and just 10 fps outdoors. Discolorations with the characters is bad that you sometimes can't tell the enemy. The game crashes when there's too much graphical calculations coming in, ie - more players joining or you go through water.

Oh well, just trying out what my portable rig can do. I can overclock it to just above 2 Ghz with temperatures going up 30% from its normal operations. If you underclock this baby to 900 Mhz, turn off your wireless connections, and lower the LCD light, it can go just above 5 hours on its batteries!

I bought this for the portability mainly. Retro games like Age of Methology runs smoothly. Games running the first HL engine can go nicely with this. BadCat actually installed these for me. You won't mind taking this machine anywhere because it's really light and powerful enough to do normal PC applications.

To sum up, try the setup at your own risk. I'll probably uninstall TF2 once I've exhausted every tweak that can prevent it from crashing. Well, I'm learning about tweaks and what games can work. It's not a gaming laptop, but now it is.
