you need to go into the advanced video options and set the screen percentage to 100%. I had the same problem. 1280x1024 looked like 640x480.

I looked up the ACER Travelmate 5620 on the Acer site.

It seams like that one has a Geforce GO 7300.

Which I'm sorry to say won't max out this game. Try lowering the resolution and play around with world and texture detail. I'd leave post procesing at default level though.

Hope it helps. :)

Also make sure you download the latest drivers for your graphics card from the Nvidia site.

Graphics look good on my computer (gonna get screenie). I don't have a small problem with graphics (apart from it not looking too much like on official screenies -.-)

Now, everything looks good except the character is a bit blurry. This is a beta so I can see why.

I think the problem is unreal engine III, swear i never saw such a buggy engine,. almost all games that use that engine have serious bugs n crashes, just check out the foruns for games with that engine, full of complaints. I hope the crytek 2 engine is much better n stable than this one. I would like to know if you guys think im right

They look quite terrible on my hardware... and to be anywhere close to playable I have to bring all the settings down to minimum... and yet I can play HL2EP2, Portal and TF2 at near max. Its obvious Epic hasn't done much optimisation for older hardware.

i finally realised why unreal looks so uncool

it requires an AGEIA physics engine card

just like CellFactor

checkout the list of games that only works good with Ageia

Actually the engine works quite well on older systems. I have 7800GT and AMD 64 3700+ 768 RAM and im runing at 1680x1050 with textures on max screen percentage at 90% postprocessing on vivid and it runs fine and looks good. My game looked really bad until I changed the Screen % then it looked awesome.

The engine looks fine to me. Just that most of the games that use it have a lot of blur. Must be something built into the engine. Although overdone in most cases it can look good if done right.

I don't understand, When I set the screen percentage to 100% the screen resolution still goes back to the lowest one.
My PC meets the recommended settings.

I don't have one but when I play the physics maps, at first I get around 45 frames, even when I blast everything I see, it doesn't go lower than 35, but after exactly 8 minutes, I have not more not less than 8 fps. I don't get more than 8 fps even in places that don't have much details, not to mention physics.

Ageia doesn't make UT3 look better, not even with 0.00000001%. With a physics card you get at first around 60 frames and after about 10 or 15 minutes it drops to 18-20/26-30 (dual/quad). There are two answers here, either EPIC made an agreement with Ageia and the "fixed" the game so that it would require one or the engine needs more work on the physics part.

Cell Factor, doesn't look good. It has a good engine, but it's full of blur and since this is for now the most advanced game in physics, on my PC I get 38-42 frames and even when all the map has objects moving and explosions I get 23 frames (minimum).

They meant good but they need more advanced equipment, so don't advertise broken hardware ;). Nvidia bought them and they will release their cards with physics engine from Ageia, that you can advertise;).

If you bought one and look for excuses to thing it's good, sorry, it doesn't work like that.
