    I'm experiencing SERIOUS slowdown as soon as I enter the moathouse. Agreed, that I have a substandard system which shouldn't really be able to play the game at all, (video wise atleast) but as soon as I exit the Moathouse and come out into the courtyard the game is really smooth again!

    Is there anything I can do to take care of this? I have installed the patch from Atari...anything else?

    PS:Normally I get around 20-25 fps, but inside the moathouse I get around 2-3 fps...pathetic, and HOW do I solve it?

    get a better system? if your system is below the minimum specs.. there really isn't anything you can do.
    There is a reason there are minimum specs listed..infact ToEE's min specs are actually really below what is required..
    the reason it doesn't lag outside the moathouse is becuase there are less enemies on the map I believe.
    I think the engine does some work with monsters even when you can't see them..so it causes lag to be in there..
    it could also be some indoor animations..but really you just can't run a game ona sub standard system and expect it to work.

    Even if you have a good system, their are really some points in the game where it slows down. This problem has already been mentioned a lot and cannot be fixed entirely by the patch.
