    HD2500... painful man ☹️ ☹️

    It just isn't suited for modern games.  Older games should work decent on it or games using older engines.

    You could try putting everything on the lowest possible settings.  Change your resolution to 1366x768 in the game (or even lower)

    You could try adding these settings.  Some I don't think are even being read but some are.

    Open Notepad.
    Copy and Paste this:

    RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
    PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0
    PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
    PostProcess.DofMethod 0
    PostProcess.BlurMethod 0
    PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
    PostProcess.DynamicAOMethod 0
    Render.VSyncFlashTestEnable 0
    WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
    WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
    WorldRender.MotionForceOn 0
    WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
    WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapResolution 256
    WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0
    RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
    RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 0
    RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 0
    RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 0
    RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 30

    Save it as "user.cfg"

    You cannot have user.cfg.txt
    enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel

    Put it in your PvZ directory
    \\Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

    ---------------

    What is the Frame Rate you are getting right now?  Left-Control + R

    This is the default:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

    It can be found:

    Origin -> App Settings -> Advanced -> Game Install Location

    My Frame Rate on the Menu is always 30 FPS, But when playing Ingame it is usually 15-20 FPS.

    That is probably the best you are going to be able to get sadly with that computer.  When heavy action starts on screen... *shivers*.

    Sorry man.
