Re: Mass Effect Running Slowly

Any solutions? Is my computer not able to run a game like this? Portal works fine on here...

Portal runs on the Source engine, which is quite different from Unreal Engine 3, which Mass Effect runs on. As mentioned above, the Mass Effect games don't run on Intel graphics. It at least starts the games in some rare cases, but not without horrible slowdown and artifacts.

    Oh huh! Didn't know that...I was using Portal as a point of comparison just because it's the newest game I have on here...
