    Hi,

    I own a Lenovo Y700 but yeah, on some maps up to 60 FPS, on WCUSA only 30 (wtf) and on Italy about 30 - 40 FPS, this game runs pretty damn slow, so thats basically why i wanted to ask if theyre some little upgrades for a Laptop, even if it would be something in the Laptop Settings, i just dont want the game to look like s*** LOL, but yeah, dont tell me GET A NEW LAPTOP OR PC, nah just nah

    Cooling is a big issue with laptops, many will thermal throttle during games. Make sure all the cooling vents are clear of dust, obstructions, and so on. Maybe even get a cooling pad or something of the sort.

    Then there's the usual computer cleaning. Close background apps, make sure it's set to performance over battery life, etc...

    As for hardware, look into an external GPU. However, to my knowledge you need a Thunderbolt 3 port to use them, which the Y700 does not have.

    GET A NEW LAPTOP OR PC :p

    But on a serious note, there isn't much if anything you can to better the performance of your laptop, mainly because modern laptops are pretty much sealed shut & not really upgradeable... So you're out of luck. The only way to make the game run better without sacrificing loads of visual candy, is to disable dynamic reflections

    Hold up, you're complaining about getting over 20FPS on every map?
    I'm barely hitting 20FPS on GridMap, let alone on the other maps, and I consider that playable.

    The cheapest way to upgrade a laptop (in the long-run), is to buy a better laptop.
    Without throwing your wallet into the money pit that is a 'gaming PC', there aren't many other options.

    Settings wise;
    Lower resolutions always help with FPS - that's if your fine with anything lower than 720p.
    Dynamic reflections and Shadows can (sometimes) cause massive performance hits, but I'm assuming you can't tolerate anything that graphically low so you won't turn them off.
