i tested it out just now. In gameplay there is no poor performance just some Frame drops here and there. She’s using this laptop and it will freeze for a second or so doing other things too. It wasn’t doing that before I installed cats and dogs. A few days after installing the EP I got hit with poor performance and in cas it was extremely laggy. I uninstalled the ep. I know it takes up a lot of resources and memory to run it.
@staraitana I guess that's an improvement? If you haven't already, see how the game does when your computer has nothing else running (besides Origin, of course). Your laptop will do better if it doesn't need to run any other apps while you play.
You can also try with no internet connection: put Origin in offline mode, disable wifi or pull the ethernet cable, then launch the game. The improvement is marginal for most people, but it's worth trying.
Yeah, I shall have just origin running. I’ll try offline mode too. The game runs ok. I’ll see from there.
Is there a way to keep Cats and dogs uninstalled? Origin installed it again. My system doesn’t handle it well. I haven’t opened up the game but I opened origin and the EP installed while I was away from my laptop.
@staraitana It's difficult to stop Origin from installing packs you own. But you can disable any pack you don't want to run easily enough:

Ok, thank you 🙂🙂
