Hello all I installed the Big Picture the standard install. Everything went rather well I was just wondering if there where any reported bugs or issues with lag? I have came across two area's that are game halting in their lag. The first is the area directly above Friendly arm Inn, where you can pick up Ajantis and fight those horrid burrowing acid spitting monsters. When I popped into the area from the load screen I thought my PC locked up. About 5 seconds later it unfroze long enough for me to move my cursor up a bit and then clicked on the ground the game froze once more and then when it recovered the characters where at where I clicked them. Also in the town of Beregost the lag is hard to play with as well although nothing like the area above the F. A. Inn. If the characters are standing still everything is pretty much normal, however if I move them to another local it starts freezing up again. Gorians rest area, and the area just north of bergost ..all fine I can walk around in their not a lag bug to be seen.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas. I have the widescreen mod installed as well and it is running at something like 1680 x 1050.
I will list my pc stats on the next reply if you wish to know, just an fyi on that, I run Modern Warfare 2 on high settings and breeze thru the game with no lag.
Thanks so much for your time all.

Out here,
Matthew

Hello all I installed the Big Picture the standard install... Friendly arm Inn...

BiG Picture standard install doesn't have FAI, the BWP/S/I does, but it supported in this part of the forum, not in the BP mods forum.

Now, have you done everything in My guides answer #4? It's most probably the ambient sounds...

Lag in Infinity Engine games is usually due to a clogged game engine than any hardware difficulties these days. Could you post the textual contents of your WeiDU.log file?

Unfortunately I found a serious lag in the temple ruins (ar1404). For some reason the game starts to load when I enter the area first a few second a few time, but later for 20 minutes or more (and at the end I just restart the computer, since nothing happens). I checked for solutions, so I modified the Shadel(d).cre

Eeh, you did check all the points in the question 4 in here, and now you should post the WeiDU.logs content(open it with Notepad)... no matter who you are.

Well that not was the problem. I cleared the most of Umar hills, both 3 caves (orcs/goblins/umberhulks), talked to the Major/Ogres/Moxen, killed the orc warband, delivered the mimic blood, took on the Journal and headed to the Temple Ruins, where the old lag waited me
And now I'm out of ideas...
Any advice pls?

Hi, i've got lag problem too. I think that's because of Jarno Mikkola's mentioned "speaking item mods". That's because i've been installing/reinstalling megamods for last ~many years, but never got lag problem. Even on super old computers. Even if there were some lag (on really old computers. Like 166mhz), the lag was different and not such annoying (or maybe i was younger ). I'm telling that because i like the idea of megamods, but i never installed all romance mods. This time i installed almost everyone npc available And that killed my install. If someone has ideas how to avoid lag (maybe specific mods?), please post here.
I tested a save in "lagged area" on two computers one of them is windows XP the other i run with wine help from ubuntu. The same gets lag on both.

Hi, i've got lag problem too. I think that's because of Jarno Mikkola's mentioned "speaking item mods".

Just drop the item from your inventory and it should solve the problem.
Now, have you gone through the whole list, as in; Do the easy things first? Like disabling the ambient sounds, using the BWS to install the megamods, and when you know your game lags, try to find the item, NPC, quest etc. and finish/drop it. And if you have played more than 10 game hours since the last time you did it -save and try starting a new game from the ToB, and then load the save you just made.

I guess that i've done everything from you list. But i was wrong. I had two spellcases and one gembag which were causing that lag! Dropping them down to the ground made lag gone (as far as i've tested that area).

Hi!
Unfortunately I found a serious lag in the temple ruins (ar1404). For some reason the game starts to load when I enter the area first a few second a few time, but later for 20 minutes or more (and at the end I just restart the computer, since nothing happens). I checked for solutions, so I modified the Shadel(d).cre for normal lich anims, and unintsalled the revised battles component: improved shade lord. No one helped much. I modified the vitual memory size above 3 Gb too.
Now I try to unistall the SCSII component: improved shade lord, in hope, it won't conflict with emod longer, if that's the problem.
Is there any other way?

It seems I find the right solution in this forum:. The problem was with the Emad mod's wolf.
Thanks again for the help!
