I recently bought a new computer and a new NVIDA graphic card. After loading all my games on GOG Galaxy, I tried playing DOTT. The beginning part with Double Fine's loho was so slow. it look like a slideshow was happening. After Alt+Tab, I heard the game move to the main menu. I clicked back on and the same things happened there. I moved my cursor across the different options but it would highlight them after a couple of frames went by. I noticed the same thing happened on full Throttle, too. My other games work fine. I tried troubleshooting it, but nothing seems to work.

You sure your graphics card is installed correctly and supports OpenGL 3 (needed for all Doublefine remastered games)?
You said you bought the computer and GPU new. Did you test it with other games as well?

Here's a guess: Those games aren't actually using your graphics card. You might have to do some pokery.

Another guess: You didn't correctly install the software required for full use. There's a fair chance that you're actually using a Microsoft supplied driver.

Yet another (unlikely): Your graphics card doesn't support the OpenGL required. You'd have to have either a knockoff or a really ancient card for that. Or Nvidia are being silly, and cutting off backwards compatibility.

Thans to the both of you. I checked out my graphics card and saw I had an update. After installing the update and restaring the computer, both games work perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

This isn't really a requirement, but feel free to mark this as a solution so others don't come along thinking there's still an issue.

Glad it's working now. Hope you enjoy your games :)

OP reminded me of playing DOTT on my 33 MHz 486 back in the day. I still miss the short break the intro had at the beginning on that systen when it displayed a low memory warning.

And a few years back when I tried to tune the GOG version of Under a killing Moon because I thought it was stuttering. After an hour or two I discovered the video of the Access Software logo was stuttering by itself (even when played back in a modern video player). The rest of the game was always fine.

Yes, the UAKM Access intro was always stuttering because they rendered it this way. Play Pandora directive and they changed the Access Logo to make it run more smoothly.
