This is me using www.canirunit.com under the "Recommended tab". Passed the test on very fast. Last time I tried to play Vindictus though, I lagged when I tried to run it on Normal settings.

I'm assuming the website lied to me? D:

I have gamebooster on, is there anything else I can do to maybe run it? I think it's the framerate on my computer that can't keep up with it... so maybe there's something i could do to further improve it besides GameBooster?

Also here's something else just in case it might help...

You tried it on normal.. did you try it on minimum? Also, how laggy is it exactly?

I'll give more details once it's done with patch. But it's a bit annoying since like, I says I can run it well. One of the things about Vindictus is it's beautiful graphics and stuff.

Vindictus is online.

It might be a crappy connection.

It isn't. It's game lag, not Internet lag. Tried it last night, to no avail.

What exactly is the problem? "Can't run it" is a little vague.

Can you take a screenshot of your advanced video options?

I'll tell you why.

HD4200 sucks.

The "Can I run it?" widget you used isn't intelligent. It only looks at what shader model you have and how much memory your card has.

It doesn't look at real performance affecting specs like # of stream processors, clock speed, and memory bandwidth.

hnnnng. thank you.

So annoying, I can run Dragon Nest just fine, no matter how many skills I use. Like I can run Abyss dungeons with 4 people and there's so much going on and my computer runs it fine.

Vindictus, and Even mabinogi lag for me. I was running that one hard Theater mission on Hard, where you have to mine the ores and sooo many things spawn, so you have ot keep the civilians safe. I lagged so hard in that mission, and not connection lag either. It was definitely game lag.

HD4200 is fine. I ran Vindictus fine on my 3870. The fact that it's a Mobile version (Laptop I assume?) could be why.
Updated all of your graphics drivers?

Have you tried running it with Directx8? I have a friend with a pretty bad computer who runs it with Directx8 and has no problem, even plays on East server when he lives in New Mexico.
