OK, I remember playing this back in the day and the animations ran so smooth. What I'm talking about is when you navigate the mansion.
Ive tried running different compatibilty modes and nothing works.
I even lost my save file and dont know how to get it back....not worried about that as long as i can get this game to run better.
I have a beast of a machine, and run AMD cards....but Im not sure what to do.
How do you make this run smoothly? Ive googled my heart out and cant find a solution
Please help me!

It's not a thing of the game, but of our nostalgia goggles, I'm afraid ;)

See, I also played T7G again recently after some 15 years or so, and realized the mansion navigation animation (that sounded like some rap lyrics;) is, as you said it, choppy. But I really think it was always like this, but 15 years ago it looked so awesome anyway that we only REMEMBER it running smoothly :)

Yes, it was choppy back then, too. I remember it very well, I had a pretty decent machine when I got my hands on 7th Guest and wondered why the camera movement sucked. So a 100% emulation will have this as well ;)

I wonder whether you might be thinking of a different version of the game. In the original version the animation was rather slow. However, the animation was much faster and smoother in the Win 95/98 version.

The game version is the scumm version--not the DOS/Win version. Inside the SCUMMVM folder in the game's root, run scummvm.exe...

Select your game (7th Guest DOS) then select "options"

Graphics:

*OpenGL normal
*PC9821 (256 colors)

Make sure "Fullscreen" is selected with a check mark

That should do it...if you need audio config hints let me know...I tried them all and these were the smooth graphics in the game that I recall...
