As mentioned above, for some reason, the game starts to slowdown to the point it gets a slideshow (drops as low as 10 fps iirc). When I was playing the game a few days ago everything was fine, but then these slowdown issues started.

Mods installed:
UAP
HQ Townmaps
HQ Music
High Res 1.1a
Arcanum Beta
Arcanum Equilibrium Rebalance
Arcanum Level Cap Remover

Solutions I tried:
Adding -no3d and/or -doublebuffer to launch options.
Running the game in windowed mode.
Reinstalling the game (though I didn't try the complete vanilla version, the game with those mods installed except for High Res seems to run fine)
-scrollfps and -scrolldist command options
removing ddraw.dll file from game directory, and/or replacing it with the one I got from ddrawfix mentioned in these forums.

Additional notes: The slowdown seems to be instensified by abilities such as Virgil's heal or casting any other ones, I mean the ones with detailed graphical animations etc.

My computer specs:
Windows 10 64 bit
i5 4590 cpu
r8 280 gpu
SSD harddisk

Please help me solve this issue guys. I bought this game for all the nostalgia but I can't believe my system can't run it properly when my phone probably could.

ps. Can I ask for a refund if this issue remains unsolved?

Millennium: ps. Can I ask for a refund if this issue remains unsolved?
If the problem is caused by the use of mods, I don't think you can ask for a refund.
I suspected as much, any idea what might be causing the performance issues, though? It's not like I'm on a laptop and the game runs on the integrated cpu or something.
Maybe it's Win10 to blame? I don't really know.. the tweaks you've tried so far, seem to work for other folks.
