Overview
This shall be a guide to try and help people trying to play this game on lower-end graphics cardsI’m running Windows 7 64-bitIntel quadcore i7 Q740 @ 1.3 GHz8gb RAMAMD Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (1 gb VRAM)
Steps
First of all, I’ve been messing with my CCC/display/in-game settings for the past 2 days trying to balance visual quality and playability.
This is what I suggest to do if you’re having problems running DOA5:LR
1: Set your display/GPU settings to optimize performance
2: remove in-game settings such as dirt/water&sweat/hit effects
3: Download “GEM-FX” *(link posted on GEM-FX DOA5:LR guide)* and install into your DOA5 game directory
4: Set GEM-FX to “Use NO AA” & “Compatibily Mode” & “64-bit Application”
5: Choose which “Additional Shader” options you want to try. (I have Blur/Clearvision/MotionBlur/Gaussian enabled)
6: click “save configuration” in GEM-FX and close GEM-FX
7: Launch game config and turn OFF Anti-Aliasing AND Shadows
8: Launch the game and hope for the best! Let me know if this helped :]
Tweaking
If you ARE able to run the game smoothly to your satisfaction… feel free to modify/adjust GPU settings and GEM-FX settings and test the game out again.
I suggest changing 1 variable at a time
that way you don’t change 5 settings and have issues then wonder which setting, if not all 5, is causing trouble.
