Hey,

I had this problem once before and as a result of it had to stop playing. And now it starts again which really bugs me: The game is slowing down/stuttering. Every 3-5 seconds there is a stutter. I have a feeling the farer I progress into the game the worse it gets. I know there was a bug like this in the orginal game, but that it was fixed? I googled all the things you were supposed to do, like turn off eax, ambient sound or not have too many containers (I have one container with like 5 potions in it, but the stutter continues even if I sell it without the potions in it), but nothing helps. I am playing BG1 currently and I am around level 5, maybe 50% of BG1 done and I feel if I continue playing it will become unplayable. It already is very annoying. If I start a new game the lag/stutter is completely gone. I really don't know what to do. Here are some more infos:

I have done a standard installation of big world project, doing everything exactly as described. I had zero errors and no problems until the stutter starts (noticed it slightly at the end of maybe chapter 3 but I think it is chapter unrelated).

My specs are:
Dell Vostro 1500, C2D@2.40GHZ/3GB Ram, Nvidia 8600GTM
I don't have any nvidia associated problems (everything looks fine). I looked through the nvidia error thread, but nothing applies to my situation and trying those things hasn't helped (but I haven't tried it very much as I think it has nothing to do with my error).
The CPU handles the game just fine (mostly uses around 30-45%), the memory seems also be fine (plenty of space left). I tried increasing the memory in the game config tool but it didn't had any effect. CPU-Temperatur is also within normal limits (35-40, at modern shooters like Bad Company 2 it runs as high as 60 without having problems).
I am using a mounted iso instead of a dvd, but I doubt this has anything to do with it.

I really don't know what to do next. I think it has something to do with the old slowdown bug, however I don't think I've ever experienced it while playing BG1/2 (without bwp).

Any advise/tipps what to try?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I have installed the big world project, recommended installation and have not done any additional changes, but now I am experiencing serious slowdowns/a low framerate. I am at BG1 chapter 6 (just finished the cloakwood mine). So far I haven't encountered big problems (one ctd and I think the arch druid is totally imbalanced) but I obviously haven't played long, so I am unsure why this problem occurs. The problem started somewhere in the mine I believe.

So far I have tried the following:
- starting a new game in bg2/importing the save/waiting for the autosave
- kicking characters out of my party
- quests are mostly completed/haven't done many
- have only one "bag" wish never had more than 30 items total, dropped it too

I haven't tried biffing because I am rather inexperienced, in addition I think I am in early stage so I think the problem cannot be a general "overload". Any ideas what to do? Do you need some additional info? I would have searched for the problems but the search function seems to be broken/disabled (at least I can't use it).

Cheers
