So, I need to talk to one of the sages in Formello who won't when the shade is in town. So I teleport to Silvar and the Shade is there as well, back to Formello and the shade is there too. It is only supposed to be one shade. What gives?

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and am in the middle of an Avernum 4 playthrough. I have 2 computers, my laptop and desktop. Both are relatively high end and can play pretty much any AAA game out there. With windows 7 I was having a bit of lag whenever I'd hold Tab down (to show names and stuff), but otherwise the game played smoothly and rather fast. Upon upgrading to windows 10 it runs so slowly that it feels like I'm trying to play the game on a 486 or something (and honestly it might run better on that processor). Its so slow that it takes about 10 seconds from the time I press esc till the menu pops up. Everything works, but its so slow that it has become unplayable. Combat takes about 5 to 7 times longer than it should, as well as moving around, or even trying to save the game. The mouse cursor also suffers from severe cursor lag. This is happening on both of my computers, hense why I think this is related to windows 10. If anyone has a fix please let me know. My desktop stats are as follows: 3.9 GHZ AMD FX 6350 6 core processor 12 GB of system ram PC3 10660 2 GB GDDR5 Geforce 760 GTX My laptop stats are as follows: 2.0 GHZ Intel core i7 dual core 8 GB of system ram PC3 12800 2 GB GDDR3 Geforce 840M I really want to finish playing the Avernum games. Please fix the slowdown issues Spiderweb! This is for Avernum 4 version 1.0.1 from GoG.com.

With the first Avernum trilogy completed, we move on to the second, with a new engine, a new story, and a new party! Those of you who want to catch up and watch my other LPs can see them here, here, and here. And now, let us begin!

I've looked everywhere on the webz and this board. It's voted as best polearm in the game, but nobody gives its location.
