Game slowing to a stop

Remove all ads!

just finishe imerydes run and the game getting bogged down suddenly. keep slowing to a stop and was even slowed when doing the battle when first arrived. started after picking up otis to help. any suggestions?

sorry forgot to mention patches were installed but nothing from Co8

 

Nothing there ingame should slow the game down.
Are you still running the game on a Windows 10 64bit machine? If you are not using Co8 try to run the game using the Windows 10 compatibility setting for Windows XP

Are you running the GOG or Anthology version of ToEE? If so you would have needed no patch

Are you running any programs in the background? If you do not actually need them disable them, e.g. Windows Indexing service or whatever it is named in Windows 10

running it in a win XP VM. i got the patches installed but the Co8 required java to install and i cant get the java to run in XP. the icon for Co8 starts then nothing happens. i also have a win 7. thinking maybe i would move it, i did imerydes run once already with no troubles but i started the game over so i could be more explorer and less hack/slashy. i also have the same problem om the character generation page where we roll for stats. its consistent there and happens every time but was manageable

 

A VM will always be slower than no VM and is usually not needed when your operating system has a compatibility mode for Windows XP.

 

i use VM for a few reasons including security. but no one has had this issue? in general it has had any issues til this point and i have played imerydes run before with success. the problems just started and out of the blue. and from what i have studied about VM is they slow down if running more than one with too many shared resources or not enough memory. i run using server towers with tons of memoery and even have expansion room (useless for xp as it cap is much lower than what i have), no one has ran into this issue before?

 

If you did run the game before without problems and now have that problem the question is: What have you changed since then?

 

characters. that is literally it

i keep my saves down to 10 saves but where is the saves folder. i have known games that accumulated saves even when you deleted them in the game

 

For me saves are in

Code:

F:\Temple of Elemental Evil\modules\ToEE\Save

also answered in the gaming guide for ToEE in point 1.6 here

If you are using Co8 note that you should have "autosave on mapchange" OFF as advised here in point 3:

Edit: Why does the forum change the directory path on harddisk F: to something with a smily?

 

A more standard way to disable smilies and other formatting on XF is to use the plain tags, like [plain]C:\Games\ToEE[/plain] (double-wrapped for convenience).
