Killagy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 just got my stream 7 in the mail today. ive tried playing with the display settings but i cant seem to to get it right. it just looks like the game is off center to a grey background can anyone help? 1. Control Panel 2. Appearance and Personalization 3. Display 4. Choose "Smaller - 100% (default)" 5. Click "Apply" and that should fix everything.

Killa Cam 4 TEW 2005 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 1. Battery life for playing TEW on a Stream 7? 2. How are the loading times for this? 3. Is a Stream 7 good for browsing youtube, movies, FL Studios program, internt browsing 4. How is the sound? 5. Where can I get a keyboard? 6. How much space does TEW take up on a stream?

I would say as long as you have the brightness set to 25% you can play TEW on battery for 6-7 hours at least. Pretty good, I didn't notice a big difference between this and my laptop. Hadn't used anything like photoshop or any video editing programs, but regarding youtube, movie streaming, and general browsing it does the full job. It has one speaker on its side that's decent, but I still prefer my headphones. Anywhere retail-wise, but try Radioshack, Best Buy, and Walmart. The stream comes with 32gb (before pre-loaded content and OS) internal storage, but you can buy and install an SD Card up to install to as well.

I would play so much more if this was on a tablet and not sittng at a desktop anymore. Whats this I here that the font js small and the speaker is statically in the headphones? if u got a cell, maybe u can take a pic of how tew looks eye view down on the stream 7 and upload it to tinypic or something. Im really on the fence about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really on the fence about this Bad quality photo, but this is basically what TEW looks like on the tablet at 20% brightness: http://s24.postimg.org/eintmgged/WIN_20150428_111227.jpg The quality of the photo doesn't do it justice though, the text is indeed not small (atleast to someone like me, who has bad eye vision to begin with) and I haven't ran into any problems with the audio whatsoever. If you're looking for a reliable tablet capable of running full Windows OS and play TEW on the go, any of the HP Stream tablets are recommended. The HP Stream 7 is still going for $79.99 off of Microsoft's Store website: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/HP-Stream-7/productID.308781500?tid=sYBJ4mTLf_dc&cid=5250&pcrid=55311573173&pkw=hp%20stream%207&pmt=e&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=pointitsem_Microsoft+US_google_5+-+PCs+-+HP+Stream+Tablet&WT.term=hp%20stream%207&WT.campaign=5+-+PCs+-+HP+Stream+Tablet&WT.content=YBJ4mTLf&WT.source=google&WT.medium=cpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad5226 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My biggest complaint with playing it on a tablet is having to scroll through workers and such. That can get vary tedious. Other than that though, I think it's a great way to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Collin Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I jumped on this bandwagon this week. I bought myself a Linx 8 tablet and switched my licence over. As others have said it doesn't run as fast, especially at the end of the month. The biggest loss for me though is the mouse wheel. The drag and drop works sporadically and scrolling through a big roster is annoying. The mere fact that I was able to play TEW on the bus home made it worthwhile.

dnlwrd Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I know this isn't a thread for BBCF but I got a Linx Vision today and thought I'd try the demo to see if it works before buying it. It hangs on the splash screen every time. Anyone else tried it on their tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I guess it makes sense but just for the record I use it with the Surface Pro 3 and it works perfectly. It's most efficient with a keyboard, but I have tried it in tablet mode and well, it's doable, but I was mostly modding and adjusting stats over and over needs a bit of finesse If I could have used pinched-to-zoom that would have got around it and would have made the experience much greater, though. (Not sure why I couldn't - may have been a limitation of me more than the app or surface) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manipulation Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I play it on my Surface Pro 3 also and I find it very easy to use. I prefer the tablet in general without the keyboard but that's just my preference I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justtxyank Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread.
