Over the last few weeks my girlfriend and I have been trying to play l4d1/2 together online (we're doing the long distance thing have been for last 2 years of university), anyway she's been having issues with the games, intermittently it freezes and the screen sort of shakes and then she will lose connection.
I'm having trouble diagnosing the problem I think it has something to do with her network/network speed, but i am unsure. She's playing it on a lappy, a dell studio 15, with a p8400 @ 2.26ghz with a ati mobility 3450, not an optimal gaming machine I know but its been getting the job done until lately. Tried knocking back the settings, I was thinking maybe a video driver update? (I don't believe it has been updated since the initial purchase) but she loses connection so that doesn't appear to be the problem. She's had the game since last Christmas but has just started having problems as of late. Any help would be greatly appreciated
