Anyone else having slowdown problems with ToB? It worked fine for awhile, then all of the sudden it just started freezing for a second every other second. It only happens in the main play screen, and only when I am in any of the new ToB areas. I loaded up my old SoA save right before the final battle and it ran smooth with no problems.

P3 800
256MB RAM
Wester Digital 30GB HD
Voodoo 5 5500
Sound Blaster Live
Windows 98 SE
DirectX 8.0

The strange thing is that when I went into the config program and turned off 3D Acceleration and 3D Animations it started running smooth again. I then defragged my drive and now it's happening again.

Some things I tried:

Tried turning all options down to minimum in BGConfig. Turned res down to 640x480, turned color depth to 16bpp, ect. No luck. Still pauses every second.

Tried clearing out the cache, and even setting the cache to zero. (What exactly is the cache for if you have a full install?) Neither made a difference.

AutoSpeed option in config program was already turned off.

Turned off environment audio. (Learned that from Heart of Winter problems...)

Tried running with 3D acceleration and without

Anyone have any suggestions?
