Hi there, I just bought the game two days ago. Yesterday, I installed it (full install) and played for some hours, experiencing no performance problems at all. Today, eager to continue my explorations, I reloaded my saved game and couldn´t believe my eyes: The game lags so badly it´s quite a torture to play. It is worst when monsters appear, but even without monsters it´s no fun. I didn´t change any configurations, didn´t install any new programs, my whole system is exactly like I left it yesterday. I didn´t even change to a new location, I´m still in lower monastery. I tried a few things, of course: Quitting and reentering the game, shutting down my computer and rebooting, changing resolution ( going down from 800x600 to 614x480 ) and graphic details, all to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this ?
Btw: My System is a AMD K6-2 450MHz with 256 MB Ram . OS Win98SE. Wiz8 is installed in a 4,87 GB partition with 1,5 GB still free.
