Hi all

When i play WC4 the game is very slow and stutters like its in slow motion. The video is fine it plays normal but the way the game plays makes it hard to play.


I tried it in all the Win modes from win 95-win 7 but nothing helped.

Has anyone else had thi problem?

What OS are you using and what cpu and gpu do you have? Do you have antivirus running in the backgroud? Does disabling it help?

Ok, this is possibly an issue with your CPU. We had lag issues with Atom processors.
This may be due to CPU affinity. Basically the game wants to use a specific core. In our tests this was only an issue on a EEEPC laptop running a multi-core ATOM processor. In any case, the GOG version of the game was created prepared to read an "affinity.cfg" file. Setting affinity to CPU 1 helps acheiving a higher frame rate (from 21fps to 24fps, which is WC4's hardcoded maximum). To do this, creat a text file in your WC4 directory and name it 'affinity.cfg'. Simply enter into the file the number of the core that should be assigned to the game. For example if you have a dual core processor values 0 and 1 are valid, other values are ignored.
