I haven't had hardly any problems with graphics slowdowns in IWD, HoW, or the places I have been so far in ToTLM
As soon as I get into this crypt, the game, (spells, walking, ect), slow way down. When I first got in there, evrything seemed normal until one of my chars was teleported by an undead.
I got him back now.

Also, when I enter from the chapel, the screen freezes for a few seconds, then I'm in the crypt. (This transistion is different than any other traveling thru doors transistion in the game).

Like I said above, the rest of the game plays fine.

I turned off ambient sounds, static animations, weather, dithering.
I have the sliders set to one notch below my comp specs. I set Pathfinding lower, (I can't remember the # now) I set framerate to 25.

Its playable, but almost to the point of being unplayable now.
There is also, (I think) a secret door that doesn't appear to my high level thief. He has found 6 of them so far. The one I'm mentioning doesn't appear, and my chars, and monsters just walk thru the brick wall.

Thank you for reading this - (I'll be offline all day Sunday, Our local news on TV said for ppl with Windoze computers to avoid the internet that day because there is supposed to be a new virus initiate at a certain time on Sunday.
I don't have the newest anti-virus soft, so I'll be back on Monday).

Jon

Do you have by any chance 3d Animations turned on? And try to lower/speed up the framerate.

Since the slowdown happens in Watchnights crypt only I think you should try running the TotL installation file again (dont reinstall the whole game, only TotL)

Jon_J,

I second ZFR's advice. I have played to where you are at, via roughly the same path as you, and have not seen this problem nor heard of it from others on this forum.
