experiencing big slowdowns?
set 1024 768,40fps,.......
what to do?

[Jarno Mikkola]

Check if deleting the cache files help. Avoid large item stacks(that's +400 items on one square). And check if it's area based, so if it's in one area, but not in the other, you should be able to find a help from these forums.

Of course, describing the problem a little better might help, so start with: What game? The content of your WeiDU.log. What graphic card you use, OS(presumably a Windows) etc.

Then, if you have no other ways, and you are at the end of the line, you know that you won't modify the content of your weidu install anyway or form(even because of bugs etc.), you can BIFF the 'override' folder with weidu.exe and get rid off some slowdowns. Simple instructions for this. The general advice is that if the folder is 1Gb or larger, it might help, but if it's way too small for that category, the problem should be somewhere else.

Maybe you have a memory leak.

Maybe you have a memory leak.

Or if you have the bottomless bags of holding mod, try cleaning them out. It makes a huge difference.

[Miloch]

Says he has no mods, so it probably isn't huge stacks or bottomless bags. Try setting ambient sounds to zero. This is a weird bug of some sort in the unmodded game that comes up on some machines.

Also, 640MB of RAM isn't that much these days. Though it should be enough to run unmodded games, which are obviously quite dated.

[Jon A. Silvers]

I have weidu mod this game, but in task manager shows usability of 450 mb ram,no I Don`t have a bottomless bag of holding,and how to solve memory leak if I have one,this start to be little irritating to play...

[Oldwolf]

try backing down your video setting to the standard 800x600 with 30fps. If that helps run the BG config utility and set your video setting on the slider bar to low end video. If this clears the problem then it's not game related its your video that's unable to process the game at the resolution you're using.

[Jon A. Silvers]

it isn`t that it`s only worse with that resolution and framerate...

[Miloch]

Did you try turning ambient sounds all the way down? If you have mods, then post your WeiDU.log file.

Oh... I thought you didn't have many mods, but you have some pretty big mega-mods. And I'm not sure, but it might be a non-standard order or version problems. You might want to check around the Big World or Megamod threads. Usually, sub-optimal scripting causes this sort of thing, and it could just be that if you want to use this many mods at once, you need a better CPU or more RAM.
