I am a bit lost here, maybe someone can help me out.
The game runs occasionally very slow. While sometimes I have 26 or above 30 fps, without real reason it will go down to the low tens. This will happen even in the overland view, for example next to the cristall cavern. Around Fort Avernum, its fine.
I have tried all kinds of settings, (high to low graphics, resolutions, windowed mode, direct X mode) - nothing did change much. For example, with full graphics, i have 16 fps next to the gate to the Formello region, wich will drop to 11 if I move south. With lowest graphics, I have 18 fps next to the gate, down to 10 if I move south.
I have the following system:
Pentium Dual Core T 4200 2Ghz
4 GB RAM
Mobile Intel® 4 Series graphic chipset
I am aware that the graphic chip is not very hot when it comes to games, but it should be enough to run Avernum in lowest graphic mode, I guess? Especially since this machine can run other games like Sacred 2 (which has fancier graphics) just fine.
As far as I can tell there are no other notable programs running in the background.
Can anybody tell me whats going on?
