Thanks for all the help and suggestions, tried the settings u provided cleared up some of the drops but still get a big drop in frames when facing the island. Though it did manage to give me a more constant frames of 36-45 when facing the island. im reading the info about speed hacks right now and i suppose i can play without sound seeing as i played the game a bunch of times on my ps2. Thought it would be awesome to play KH on the laptop since it's more portable but ultimately since my laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU as mention above im SoL on getting the frames to stay in most places in the game. lol might have to hop on my desktop after all tho. But most definitely ty for the info![]()
