Help! Prob. at Vendergrote Ruin

My com is
p333 ram 196
voodoo3

I have problem with going in Vendergrote Ruin (from Tulla to that place) , When i come in there is a hell of lag.... my mouse can't move (very slow) forward to next scene but i can click to walk in my scene easy ...
Hope you are understand my problem ...

 

if its just sw of the way into the ruins then yes. i get the same thing. go around it. thats what i do.
ive got a 666mhz 192ram and the graphics is voodoo3, which worked fine with max payne so should be fine for arcanum.

 

voodoo3, that’s your problem Arcanum had quite a few slow downs with my voodoo 3. Are you running in safe mode if not then try that. If you are or it doesn’t work try updating your drivers. Personally, I never solved the slow down problem but my computer was considerably slower than yours and I got a new computer shortly after Arcanum so there was no need to try too much.

 

i have a riva TNT2 64 and the game is still slow!(my comp is Pentium3 450MHZ 192ram)

 

Yay, new people to encounter the slowdown bug.

Saint says this is due to the fact that Arcanum uses Windows memory managment, whcih is screwed, and since the reason lies in Windows and not in the game itself it won't be fixed. However the game runs well for some people for some reason. Personally I belong to majority here who has this bug.

 

me too although it was not a "to die for" matter. I got over it, there is alot more serious bugs in the game, ones that keep people from actually *playing* it.

 

I hope to change to Gefocre 2 MX lately ...
But now i will try safe mode first then i back to tell you ...

 

The game is known to have issues with certain cards - Voodoo 3 cards and 64 meg cards are some of them

 

I have Matrox G400 32MB and AFAIK it's damn good when it comes to 2D. Unfortunately the game slowed down near inns in Caladon, Backroot and in Tarant's centre. It was really troublesome only in Tarant I must admit but since you spend lots of time there it is a real piss-off. Anyway I got absolutely no slowdown in whole Vendigroth whatsoever - don't you have slowdowns anywhere else (esp in Tarant)?

 

the worst slow down i had was at the blacksmith in caladon. it would take about 20 secounds to take one step. then i couldnt quite. then the computer crashed. then i got pissed off. then i shut computer off and said i would never ever play arcanum again. 10 minutes later i was killing some dark elves with a gun. dash it all.
that vendagroth one is the only constant slow down i can think of. always there to bug me. (oh thats some bad humor right there)

 

I have there slow down at Vendergrote Ruin only ... Tarant seems to be a bit slower than usual but not so.
In vendergrote i take 2-3 minute to pass to scroll out from the same place.... and i seems to found nowhere of the entrance of the ruin .... damn it
it would be help if someone tell me what direction to go after enter the vendergrote ruin from the map (after Tulla)

 

Head to the north east. There's a building there, surrounded by little spiders in the ground that pop-up when you get near. Once you get in the building you should be good...personally, the slowdowns I experience aren't in the same place, and are usually related to my encumbrance at the time...

 

Thanks! i will try!
