I have posted this before but I think its a good idea to post it here again (admins: you can delete it of course): Ok I know this might sound strange but i had the following problem: game lages EVERY 5-10 seconds for 2 seconds. I am playing on a thinkpad x220 with no gfx card. my solution: I plugged in a external monitor!!! that solved the problem! I dont know why (maybe someone has a tech explanation). So try to plugin a monitor! I wonder if this will help you guys too! best Jot
