At first playing C2 on my old laptop gave me lotsa stuttering on some levels , but a friend of mine made c2(patched to 1.9 dx11, hi-res included) portable on his windows 7 64bit pc (with 2 gtx 460 gpu).

When he was not lookin i copied the whole thing to my external hard-drive and put it on my vista 32 bit laptop.

Guess wut ?

It runs much smoother now on it , though ofcourse i can"T select hi-res nor dx 11 cuz i"m on vista 32bit(ati gpu).

can anybody explain WHY it now runs much better (on ultra) without stuttering?

i"m a total noob with programming , but i really wanna know ....

Your friend has probably removed many of the bells and whistles using the game.cfg file, or perhaps the dude has made an autoexec that does the same thing, you're probably missing some of the effects now, don't worry though, i do the same, some of the effects just make the game more washed out anyways.

well , i just called him and he told me that all he ripped out was the music , nothing more ...
