Hi!

I just downloaded MM2, last time i played was like 7 years ago and i was excited about playing it another time, the problem is that i have a brand new ASUS and the game is going really really slow, what can i do or what do i have to download (program) to get everything going right ?

Thanks by advance.

Just upload the game from you old PC in your Pendrive and then load it to your new PC by your pendrive.

No I downloaded MM2 on my new PC from internet (Torrent) so i already have it on my new computer but everything is going really slow in the game and even on the menus... I can't find a solution :/

Which graphic card you're having? Also, it's an issue when using Windows 8. Are you using it? But the main thing always belongs to graphics card.

Is there any way to solve this issue with Windows 8? Midtown Madness 2 runs a bit laggy on my PC without the No CD-Patch, but it's unplayable using the Patch.

Until now it's not possible to fix the Win 8 problem, I even downgraded to Win 7 because of that

The new PC seems to be a laptop (Asus is mostly known for its laptops than desktops), and being new, surely has Windows 8 as OS.
It's known that MM2, and probably also MM1, lags a lot when played on systems with Windows 8 as OS. Do the same happen with the 8.1 update? Maybe yes. Looks like there's no solution to play it decently, so far...

Yes it's true. I don't have my graphics card so I tried MM1, MM2, RoR in a netbook. MM1 and MM2 had half graphics available and RoR didn't opened. And I knew that small screen means less graphics. And in that netbook MM1 and MM2 were lagging continuously when driving with traffic and near buildings. (Sorry to go offtopic but that was an example.)

If you've got Win8 then you should get a virtual machine with win 7 to run older games, like MM2.

"Half graphics"? lol

Answering to the question of Franch(kinda), yes, Win 8.1 lags too, but not as much, difference of like 7-8fps

It's such a shame that I can play... I have a laptop and windows 8... I think i can't do nothing

Well, maybe you could install Win 7 as a dual boot, or use something VMWare to emulate Win 7 or XP.

I'm going to install VMWare but then i don't need to have a physic version of windows I can just activate VMWare ?

Well, you can always "Warez" it, but otherwise, yeah, you need a physical copy or a legit .ISO image.
