HI folks! I've be looking to get back into B-17 The Mighty 8th recently. But on my windows 10 laptop I'm getting bad fps. I've tried core affinity and compatibility mode. Sadly, those didn't help. I have the steam version.

These are my specs
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.86 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

These are the game requirements
RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: 1.5 GHz Processor
Memory: 1 GB RAM
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 600 MB available space
Sound Card: 100% DirectX compatible card or onboard sound
