Hi there. Anyone managed to play this game with satisfactory performance? For me, the game goes almost to a slideshow mode whenever I move the camera (and as it is RTS this happens quite often). When I look into one specific part of an area, without moving camera, the game seems to work fine.

Things that I try to fix this issue:
1) Changing to any compatibility mode (none of them helps, all of them break saving)
2) Running the game as an administrator, turning off fullscreen optimization
3) Downloading and pasting dgvoodoo files from the other thread (it either messes up the graphic without affecting already terrible performance or crashes the game when launching ["primary surface error"])
4) Renaming and/or deleting ddraw.dll (always causes crash at the start)
5) Installing the game both from offline installer and from GOG Galaxy (no difference at all)
6) I also wanted to change game affinity in task manager, but it seems it is already set to one core

I would be grateful for any help.

Hey there I've noticed it's connected to moving the mouse, at least on my system, I've also tried these steps. Is the mouse movement what is causing yours too?

*UPDATE*
I was looking at other games that have this issue and found a video where they lower their mouse polling rate. Seems to have fixed the issue for me! Maybe it'll help you too?

This is the video I found on youtube -
