Are you playing on PC or Xbox? To elaborate on what Orodruin said above, there's no crossplay so you both have to be on the same platform to play together.I've got a buddy who was over and I showed him the game. He is interested, but only has a laptop to play with. He does have an Xbox, if he plays on his xbox can we play together?
There is a difference between running fine and being a good experience. I would not play on a laptop screen (I know, I know, I would not play on any flatscreen, but a lsptop screen is even further down the list).The game will run fine on many laptops.
Savage....depending on the laptop it may run as well as on the XBox...
Try with your account - you don't need to buy the game if it really does not run. Laptops range from struggling to launch Editor to putting gaming PCs to shame. As I said above, I wouldn't want to play on my tablet, it was just for fun to try if it would work. Anything with a dedicated GPU should work though, of course not on Ultra.PC it is then. I'll try setting up his laptop and see how it goes. thanks!
