Hey there! I heard you're trying to get Prototype running smoothly on your new laptop. With the specs you mentioned—i5 6500U, 8GB RAM, and a 940MHz GPU—it's not surprising that older games can struggle. The DirectX9 support might also be a factor. Have you tried updating the drivers or checking for any system updates? Sometimes simple tweaks help a lot. Let me know if you want more tips! Thanks for sharing your setup.

Ensure your system is in high-performance battery mode. Consider using a Direct X11 version for better compatibility instead of installing Direct X12 as suggested.

I'll simply install the newest DirectX version and connect my laptop to the power source. Appreciate everyone's fast responses!

Ensure 940MX is configured as the primary graphics card. It might rely on built-in graphics, causing subpar performance. The ability to toggle graphics sometimes fails to select the optimal one.

Additionally, consider removing or turning off all the unnecessary HP software that comes bundled with every laptop. These programs can likely affect your system's performance when running in the background.
