Fps Issue

[drkz 0]

Hey,

 

I recently bought another desktop PC, and have serious FPS issues with this game now.

I've tried many things, yet none so far really worked.

 

My current configuration:

AMD E1-1200 APU 1,4Ghz

8 GB RAM

Radeon HD 7310 Graphics

Windows 8 64bit

DirectX 11

Up to date Catalyst drivers

 

It's not the best i know, but it should easily play this game with no problems.

 

Things I've tried so far:

Turning off all hardware acceleration

Installing DirectX SDK and disabling all hardware acceleration with control panel

Running a Virtualbox with Win XP and Directx 9, with all acceleration off

Using Direct3DOverrider

Using Rivatuner

Alt-tabbing in Virtualbox and setting process to High

Alt-tabbing in Win8 works, but game crashes, so can't alter process.

 

With everything running on Windows 8, accel off, i get like 40-50 fps average, with drops to 15-20 with alot of animation on screen.

 

In the Virtualbox, i get 60-70 average, and it seems to peak to 100 when i idle in a slime pit. When i go out of it, it stables again around 60-70.

 

Still the fps in Virtualbox is too low to be playable. And it seems VB has a resolution problem.

 

Are there no other ways around this to at least get stable fps at 100?

Should i downgrade my directx (if possible) on win8 to version 9?

 

This is a game based on Directdraw, so it should be possible to get reasonable fps. Please help.

 

Thanks in advance

Try look into the next things:

- Monitor refresh rate should be 60 Hz (some monitors use 30Hz interlaced instead)

- Check if you're using Dual-Monitor, turning off/unplugging the second monitor increases FPS.

Refresh rate set at 60hz, and only running one monitor on this configuration..

Yes :(

 

Would it help if i post the dxdiag log or made screens of anything?

seems like your CPU might be bottlenecking your GPU performance.. 1.4ghz x2?

 

does it run other games well?
