I have a laptop which beats minimum system requirements, slightly:
2.0 Ghz Intel Dual Core processor
4 gb RAM
windows 7
video card with 384 MB RAM and 3.0 shader (intel gma x3100)

The gameplay is spastically laggy to the point of being nonfunctional if u plan on dodging attacks. If all u had to do was stand still and tap 1-6 over and over it’d be ok but this is rediculous. Just because technically u can get a program to run on machines like mine without crashing doesn’t mean u should say it meets system requirements to ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME. I’ve got descent pc security with no viruses etc., I’ve tried tweeking graphics settings, and internet speed i play from is fine (watched my bro play with no lag on better pc) so only reason i can think of for all this lag is the fact my pc just isnt good enough to play even though it slightly exceeds minimum requirement. Im I wrong for being angry for paying $60 dollars for game thats says i can play on my pc but is basically unplayable?

By “tweeking” graphics settings, are you setting everything to low? That’s the first thing you should try.
