As topic says, basically while during a battle createrus move and attack in slow motion, strongly lagging. Everything else works fine, but battles are impossible to do :(

Check in the ingame settings if the game speed in battles is turned down.

If it's a lag, and not just slowness, try running the game in DxWnd
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

Try decreasing resolution in Options. See if that helps.

Or try other solutions here. Though they refer to the game in general, not battle, these might help.

Hey there,

I installed the game on my Macbook Air using Wineskin (fit of nostalgia...) and I got the exact same issue. Everything runs perfectly fine except battles ! All combat animations are so slow and jerky it makes the game near unplayable. Especially for ranged units, projectiles take forever to reach the target and "stutter".

Unfortunately running the game in DxWnd wouldn't work for me since I play on Mac.

If anyone can offer a solution I'd really appreciate it, I used to love this game and really want to play it again.

Thanks !

Unfortunately changing the resolution didn't work for me. Do you know if there is there a Mac equivalent for DxWnd, since it seemed to fix the issue for the author of the topic you linked ?

Sorry, never used a Mac. Not sure if similar software exosts.

1. If you using laptop check if it uses proper graphic card for game process (dedicated, not integrated)
2. Change resolution to lower one

Hi, I have the exact same issue. Did anyone solve this?
