My Ivy is running slower than it should

[Starscream]

It doesn't matter if it's a laptop or not. If the hardware is good enough to run the game fast enough, then it will. In this case his hardware should be good enough to run the game fast enough with HLE, but not with LLE. If he's using HLE and is getting the speeds he claims, then there is an issue somewhere. If he's using LLE and is getting those speeds, I 'd say that's normal.
