drkz 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2013 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 ReaveR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
