Hello everyone,
I browsed through the topics found here, but none quite fit my problem. Which is the following (I'm using Windows 10):
After a few hours of gameplay - I'd say about 2 - my game starts to lag, especially when I move my mouse ingame. My mouse also kind of "flickers" then; meaning it dis- and reappears if I move it around ingame. The lag gets worse and worse over time. The only solution I found so far, is to restart my PC. Yes, not the game, but my PC. Just restarting the game alone brings me right back to the lags. This phenomenon also only occurs with Drakensang. So, if the lagging starts there, I can fire up another game and it works just fine.
It seems like a kind of "memory leak". But I don't understand why restarting the game wouldn't fix it then, but rebooting does. In my desperation I even applied the "4 GB patch" to the drakensang.exe, but that didn't do anything. I assume, because the GOG version of the game also comes with the High Texture Pack something like this is already applied. After I noticed the "4 GB patch" didn't do anything, I restored the backed up .exe.
Also otherwise I left the game as it is, meaning no .ini changes or anything. Just downloaded it, and started playing.
I also googled quite a bit regarding this problem, but found no working solution. GOG Galaxy and the game are run as administrator, and since I found this tip here, I also disabled fullscreen optimizations for the drakensang.exe, but to no avail.
Do you guys have any more ideas?
