Geneforge slow on Windows 8


Cmiller

Recommended Posts

I just recently bought my new Windows 8 laptop. Then a couple of days later installed the Geneforge series. And now i'm realizing how slow it is :-P. The character and enemies lag a lot on the screen and it takes a long time for the engine to process the next round. Is there anyway to make this game go faster on my Windows 8 laptop.

If it's a low-end laptop you might want to disable some services. Barring that, make sure all your drivers are up to date -- even if it's a new laptop, manufacturers usually ship products with outdated drivers.

perhaps include a dxdiag dump?

You've probably seen the topic pinned to the tech forum, but if you haven't here it is.

 

If you're on a 64-bit machine, it could be a problem.

Yes. And if in any case that is the problem, here's a link to a fix. http://www.sevenforu...ility-mode.html (they even mentioned SpidWeb software there!)

Not wanting a double post, but I just found out there is a compatibility mode for Windows 7 in the properties of Geneforge 5 and other apps. Go try it out, if the problem isn't resolved yet.
