Most likely an intel driver related issue. I'll see that I can get a fix for this though.

EDIT: I've applied a client update that sends the client to sleep when you minimize it. It's rendering a maximum of 5fps in that sleep mode. Can you restart your client and check if minimizing the client is working properly now?

It's most likely a graphic driver related issue. Something seems to go wrong when you minimize the game.

See if you can get an updated Intel driver for your laptop. This is probably what you need: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
Please bear in mind that I only suggest to update your graphics driver if you have one GPU. If your laptop has a graphic cards and a graphic chip, don't do that!

Is it possible that your friends have a similar GPU model? All playing on an intel chip? If you have a 2nd graphics card (a better one) can you try running Emps-World on it to see if it betters?

Classic graphics make no use of your GPU. I highly recommend you still use the openGL mode for better performance.

I've googled the issue again and the only solution I could find was upgrading your graphics driver. Since the Emps-World application isn't crashing there isn't much of an error report that I can take a look at, sorry.

It's cool homie. I just don't understand why it's doing it now, but not back in Emps-Scape, unless it is just because of the new graphics. I'll grab a better graphics drive when I can afford it, haha. Thanks for the help though man. You can lock & move it now.
