Fledgling Fyora ahninjascantrememberpasswords Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've run the stand alone versions of Geneforge 1 and 2 on XP just fine in the past. When the entire series came to Steam, I decided to get the whole set. However, these versions of the games run at a less than satisfactory pace, with Geneforge 3 being especially slow. Moving the mouse around is jumpy in that "system playing catch up" sort of way, and bringing up the menu takes around 20 seconds, and basically hangs my system until it appears. I don't have access to my registered stand alone copies of 1 and 2 anymore, so that's a bust. Strangely, the title screens function just fine, it's only when I get in to the game proper that the problems appear. 4 and 5, on the other hand, run just fine, but I'd like to play the games in order.

Fledgling Fyora ahninjascantrememberpasswords Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ka-effing-boom. The games now run smooth as silk. I looked through the forums for topics about Geneforge, but didn't look in threads labeled Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Nim Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 This issue probably deserves a sticky, I had difficulty finding the post and I knew what I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora x3meblue Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I followed the instructions and while Geneforge 1 runs smooth the most time, there are some scenes (like in the first city, near the guards) where i experienced some lag (scrolling with mouse or arrow keys). I am on 64 bit Windows 10, with an Intel HD 3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sometimes the game slows down when it has lots of moving NPCs and creations in the zone. Jeff admits he isn't the best programmer and his code isn't the most efficient way to use the CPU for heavy graphics usage. This isn't a consistent problem and you sometimes see it other games for autosave or combat with a large number of monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora x3meblue Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ok, then i know that this is a normal issue and not a problem with my system. Thanks! But i must admit, that "heavy graphics usage" made me smile a bit! Thanks for that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila cremornagainagain Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 This is so great! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I brought a friend of mine to the fold, told him to get the demos (they're enough to get one hooked) and he tells me he can't run them because of the screen resolution.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 ...but it's possible to change the screen resolution. In fact, a pop-up from the game prompts you to change resolution when you start. Does your friend not get that pop-up? Or not have the ability to change screen resolution at all for some reason?
