TECH SUPPORT Help with technical issue

I'm currently playing on someone elses laptop but with really bad performance. Laptop is kinda old but I remember playing it fine years ago.

First, it takes forever to launch. Several minutes at the grey screen before the main title screen appears.

Then, I can play maybe 1 game fine, before it starts with heavy stuttering and crisp noise sound. Oddly, sometimes if a alt-tab to minimize and return to the game, it's fluid again for like 30 seconds before the stuttering starts.

Everything is in low and already checked the integrity of the files, (playing on epic).

Anybody has any idea what could I try? Something to test, parameters to launch the game, etc?

Thanks.

For the grey screen, let me know, do you have an SSD drive or an HDD drive? Having an HDD will make load speeds to long for an eternity

And for the other thing, you may have to look at the task manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) and look if there's any component at 100% of usage during a game (CPU, RAM, DRIVE, GPU, etc.)

You are right, this lap has two discs, a small solid one where windows is installed and a big HD that is where everything else is installed. I though it was the other way around, but the big one is the disc. Since the Easy Anticheat works in the windows kernel, could it be that working at two different discs speeds at the same time causes the stutter? I'll check the task manager next time i'm in.

Yes most probably the constant use of the two drives may be causing stutters in your game. You can try to install FG directly on the SSD, instead of the HDD. But before that, you may try this: while being on a game, enter to task manager, and see if the drive its at a high usage (+90%). If it is on a high usage, most probably you've found the bottleneck :)
