I have decided that I am going to avoid ID2 until I manage to get a new computer. The computer I am running the game on right now is far too slow, and I cannot stand the constant lagging. I have made it to a point when there is no longer FMP but screenshot transference, since I never actually see anyone moving anywhere just "they're there, then they're there." Also, the game causes my computer to crash constantly, and if the computer itself has been running for a couple of hours or I have had another program running, it crashes even before the game starts. It even goes on to the point where I cannot play multiplayer games because the game locks up due to the "excessive rebuke." I hope I manage to buy a new one soon because I cannot stand this any longer.

Doesn't that just suck... It is pretty sad that one has to constantly update one's computer every few months, in order to play games....
I am on my second computer this year alone, just to be able to play to my hearts content. Hopefully all I will need to do with this power machine is upgrade the graphics card down the road... I was lucky enough to find a great deal on a fully loaded machine a few months ago...

DUDE you need to get A Dell, HA, HA, they have the best deals right now and they will even finance students that can show they have a part time job and can make a $30.00 to $70.00 per month payment. My 17 year old son just got a pent 4 processor at 2GHz and for $36.00 per month with 40 Gig hard drive & DVD/CD writer and a 19" monitor, 5 JBL speaker set and alot more. Just chect it out
the worst they could say is no and if the say yes then you'll be up and running and playing in about a week. Don't get me wrong I don't work for these Dell computer people but they impressed me with the service they give to students like my son and I didn't need to sign anything he did it on his own and they shipped it to him or should I say had it delivered 6 days later. well Good luck. OH YEAH make sure you get it with a good 3D accellerator W/64MB DDR like RADION 7500 or a NIVIDA GeForce2 MX. THE RADION cost $150.00--$6.00 a month more wen you order it with the system.

What is your computer? Mine is a pentium 333 320 meg RAM, with a 12 megs Vodoo 3 3000. I can run the game just fine except in the cave below the horde fortress. There, all the torch and fire everywhere lag me a little, so I have to pause the game everytime I want to give an action to my characters.

Before giving up, try changing some of the graphics settings. That may ease the burden a bit on your system.

You could always solo... [img]smile.gif[/img] Much better FPS when you only have one Character.

can allways try things like
A. cleaning up your system. Delete stuff, give more HDD space, do a defrag, remove un-needed programs from memory. B. run IWD2 in 640x480, turn off weather & extra animations. fiddle with various settings. P.S. If your PC crashes every hour or so, consider fixing it! reinstall windows! I dont put up with any crap from my system. Uptime is measured in days or i screw with it until it behaves!
