Sleeping Dogs

How does this run performance wise for those of us living with laptops and low end machines?

plays ok in my eyes but I know its low fps and not as smooth as Id want..averageing 20-30fps prob same as console though right lol.

Heres my rig

2.5ghz dual core?
3gb ddr2 ram
5770 1gb HD gfx card
 
So many small little details and things you can do. I just randomly learned that while driving, you can open your car door. A little thing that didn't need to be there, but adds so much depth to the game.
 
Seriously what is going on with this game? I bought a key for it this morning and all of the settings are reverting back to defaults? Apparently it has something to do with a patch that was released and has totally broken all of options for the game.

Its' running on my relatively decent spec like a bag of the proverbial because it must be maxxing out all of the settings. Total disappointment so far.
 
He opens the door to jump to another car as well. Hold A behind a car then push it again when the arrow goes green and he jumps to the car and takes it over. So much fun.

This so far is GOTY for me, there is just so much in the game. I spent hours last night just driving around taking over cars and trying to beat my wheelie record on a bike.
 
Can't even play this game. It's like the menu thinks the down arrow key is permanently pressed and it cycles through all the menu options constantly. Can see a few other people with this problem but no solution. :(

You don't have a controller plugged in do you? Or some other peripheral that is causing it? ....noob question I know, but it is a common problem;)
 
I was literally laughing out loud when I realized you could hold the door open whilst driving...

I too am really enjoying this, can't believe it's flown under the radar so much, it's a cracking game!
 
im hunting the health shrines and blue cases to find all the hidden cash its fun trying to find them but that camera really doesn't help i have to keep stopping to look in alleys as i run past them to get a good view so frustrating when other games you can just spin the camera while running straight still.
 
sigh ffs the graphics settings are still ******

Best way is to edit the actual DisplaySettings.xml with Notepad++ in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SleepingDogs\Data\

Pretty simple values to change e.g. 0 Being normal - 1 Being High and 2 Being Extreme.

Got mine to the optimum settings finally XD. Admins in their forums have said there will be a fix for it at some point aswell ;)

Logitech G25 steering wheel was the culprit, more specifically the pedals (clutch and accelerator) were acting as the up and down arrow keys.

It happened to me too and the game was unplayable. Someone pointed me to a website with a fix that worked for me.

This specific fix is only for use when playing using keyboard and mouse.
1) Go into your Device Manager > Human Interface Devices
2) Right click on any that say HID-compiant consumer control device, for example, USB Input Device, USB Game Controller, HID-compliant device.
3) Right click and disable every device apart from your keyboard.

You can't max this game with your rig? Wtf, as great as the game looks and however fun it might be, it just seems like another poorly optimized mess. Your rig should blow these level of visuals out of the water without topping 80C.
