In Topic: Game slowdown / stutter ..

Thanks Steve and Az .. 3D accel is off, but again that wouldn't explain the stutter only after BP install. I did move Ajoc to install after TDD, and it worked fine. I think the install order at this point is rather irrelevant, since installing core BP right after Fixpack causes stutter, even in the absence of ANY other mods. I just won't use the BP AI .. a bummer, but not the end of the world.

Well, looks like I'll be doing without the BP AI. :( The other components of BP don't cause the stutter. Installing the game in the order you suggested, Azazello, looks to be fine, but then my previous order had no difficulties aside from the BP stutter either (well, except for mismatched blocks when installing BP, which thanks to erebusant I know how to fix).

OK, will try this, duplicating my BG directory before I install BP to be able to compare performance pre- and post-BP. I'm not very hopeful about BP at this point, but if this install order works for the rest of it I'll eventually play with that.

Thanks for the added edit -- I think I'll leave out the multitude of orcs for the time being. ;)

Edit: Ajoc is not installing properly in that order, giving me a bunch of parse errors. Perhaps because it's an "add-on" to TDD, which isn't installed yet.

Dual G4 867 mac, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4. I doubt the hardware is an issue, though, because the game runs fine prior to the BP install, even with the other mega mods installed (CtB, TDD, SoS).

Well, one last question. I installed just the official patch, Fixpack, then BP. Stuttering is better, but still present. Aside from 2 mismatched blocks (ar1002 and ar2601) which I didn't bother to fix for this test, the BP install went fine. If no one has seen BP do this before or has any ideas, I'll put it aside for now. Thanks for your patience and help ..
