I was about to travel and decided to just copy my working install from my PC (win7 4790K 4Ghz GTX970) to my Laptop (win7 Amd Turion 2.2Ghz Geforce Go 6150).

But on the Laptop, the game is a slide slow.

Will a new full install capture the Laptops capabilities and set the config appropriately to run properly?

Or are there minimum performance requirements that I missed that must be met even with this project to run properly?

With your laptop you should not have any problems. But maybe you have a too high resolution for your laptop, or the video filters are too demanding in your laptop. Try to down the resolution and/or change video filters to none or to any without asterisk. In the worse scenario, delete options.cfg to set all the options as default, and start changing from there.

Thanks,

I went with the nuke of the config and that worked.

I didn't try a new clean install but I might just to see what the installer uses for initial settings.

Initial settings are the same as when you delete the file.
Also the same as when you reset the settings in game via Options menu.

So the installer doesn't actually have a function that evaluates the system, it just pastes a set of pre-sets?

Installer does nothing.
The game itself evaluates the language setting, the rest is defaults.
