Hi everyone,

Game is laggy read below for what I have tried, I am playing on Windows 8

What is wrong:
- Moving mouse to edge of screen to pan is laggy (panning lags).
- General moving on map feels laggy.
- Fighting especially with magic is laggy.
- Mouse cursor moves sluggish.
- Entering save game name is laggy as hell.

Patches I have installed:
- High res patch 1.1a
- UAP 091225
- HQ Townmaps

What I have tried:
- Command line args (-no3d -doublebuffer)
- Rename and delete of ddraw.dll
- Compatibility mode: Windows 7 and Windows XP mode
- Running as Administrator

Thank you all, really want to play this.

What screen resolution are you using? Very high rez causes a lot of slowdown. I was having the same issue. I'm using -window and -scrollfps:70 and see a lot of improvement.
I am using 1280x720, your basic 720p, because 1080p made everything to small.

How do you get -window to work, are you using some wrapper?
