I'm having a very peculiar problem with this game: Despite having a reasonably competent computer (Win7 x64, Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, GTX 460), Anachronox runs like a slideshow. The menu screens work fine, and at full speed, with minimal CPU usage. However, when I'm actually in-game, the FPS counter (enabled via ALT+SHIFT+F10 dev mode) drops to 2-3 FPS and the process manager shows anox.exe at ~90% CPU usage.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and, if so, did you find a solution?
EDIT: I'm an idiot. I was looking for other threads talking about CPU usage issues, glossed over the thread about the FPS problem. I'm assuming it's the same issue, and my thread is a duplicate. If a mod could delete this, I would greatly appreciate it.
EDIT 2: In case this thread doesn't get deleted, I ended up resolving the problem by setting the game to Win 98 / ME compatibility mode. It seems odd, since XP was out when this game was released, but it works.
