Working too hard on the Burial Isle

[Lymond]

No sooner do I arrive on the shore of the Burial Isle, then time starts slowing down. There have been locations and/or situations when my computer has slowed down and the gameplay is a little choppy, but nothing like this. Without boring you with details, my computer is 3 or 4 years old and doesn't typically have speed problems. I don't have an accelerator card, but I'm up to date on defrags and all that. It's just that on the Burial Isle, the computer is really working hard. I'm on my second time playing and this is the second time this has happened, so I suspect it's a function of the area. It doesn't happen below ground, just outdoors.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just that the area is so big and there are too many variables to calculate? Are there any free ways to fix this, like a patch or shutting something off?

You can always try turning some features off from the configuration utility, such as environmental sounds and character footstep sounds; sometimes this will help. Do you have only Heart of Winter or Trials of the Luremaster also? Finally, take a trip to the Interplay Forums and check out the forum on Troubleshooting. Personally, I haven't encountered this particular problem, except during the last stage of BG1, after Chapter 6 and before you go to confront the "armored figure". [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
