How do graphics conflict with multiplayer issues?

[(PSN)ihaveseensome]

On PC, I am unable to run Directx10 or Directx11, because they cause my multiplayer connection to be lost every time I try to load in. I can only play on very very blurry 20/80 graphics. How does the way my computer displays graphics conflict with the connection to Warframe's multiplayer?

If your running in steam there is an option that will pull your system specs for you. Also your problems seem to be related to the words "Dell" and "laptop".

Interesting question.

Computer details could be helpful for those with the knowledge.

Specs might help.

 

Only way I can think of it having any conflicting issues is if you are trying to run it on a potato and having more than one person on screen causes it to cry and try to kill itself.

 

Just please, please don't say the words "laptop" or "onboard graphics" or I might cry.

Check your drivers for your Video card.

I made the ever so foolish mistake of hovering around Steams forums during the Christmas sale.

 

So many people buying games, not being able to run them and then asking on the forums why their antique laptop with onboard graphics can't run anything.

 

Even worse was one of the Deus Ex reviews about how he got it for his birthday and he couldn't run it and neither him nor the person who bought it could understand why. It seems neither of them can read system requirements that said "DX11 required" which his toaster didn't have.

 

Too many people think PC's are like consoles and anything can play games. 

 

Too many people keep buying laptops to play games on but not laptops built for gaming.

Worst he could say is Mac... From the 90s...

You seem to missed the question Op asked.

WHY does GRAPHIC setting has SEVERE IMPACT on NETWORK/CONNECTIVITY.

I cannot pinpoint the issue, but 3 factors seem relevant.

1. Textures are being streamed.
2. HOST machine handles math for clients.
3. Clients/Host are ALLOWED to join session, with miss-matching OS/DX versions.
   
   If you ad these 3 together, there is enough room for error everywhere around it.
   Im aware that my answer didnt really help you, OP. but i hope that someone else with much more knowledge than my 2c will jump in discussion.

Alright, could we have the specs of your system and your launcher settings that you are currently using?

[AerinSol]

Just in case. This worked for me recently. Hit the default setup in-game and then retweak the settings.

[AgentSkye]

As far as I know it has no direct impact on connectivity. However, if there's a long enough freeze/hangup (during which the game isn't maintaining connection) the connection will time out.

As for why DX10 and/or DX11 cause these freezes on the loading screen for some people, I uhhh... I have no idea, sorry. Good luck.

If u don't have a decent Laptop or Desktop, Playing in multiplayer and with a squad will decrease ur FPS.

Try to turn off Blurs and Glares or otherwise Resolution.

Try Lower Qualities

 

 

 

 

Or....Get a Decent laptop/Desktop#

Not a prob, would you happen to know the model number? If you do, we should be able to look it up and see what specs the systems has.
