Hello there, hope everyone is doing fine.

Yes before anyone asks, I did installed the AIO Patch. Problem was, I was getting freezes. Regardless of what .exe I ran from. In fact, directly from GOG galaxy the game crashes. Framerate was solid 60, or 59 as the torque.ini mentions.

I removed the dsound files and the game runs fine now, but locked at 45fps. No more freezes and no more crashes. Game also doesn't go lower or above the 45fps. It's a fixed value. I also noticed I had less weird NPC/Enemey behavior, but I would like to at least run it at 59fps if possible.

Wondering if someone might have an easy fix for this.
Thank you.

Edit:

Fixed it. For anyone with the same issue.
Install the game normally, apply the AIO Patch.
Go into the game's folder, and open dsound.ini with notepad or notepad++.

Check where it says: hardwareBufferCount = 128

Replace 128 with 127 as recommended in the point of reference above. If 127 doesn't work, you can try other values they recommend.

From the same game folder, every time you wish to play, run "SUFFERING.EXE" directly.

The game will be running at 60fps. Without freezing.
