I have a i7 X 980 @ 3.33 GHz, 12 GB of RAM, an nVidia GTX 570 with the latest 314.22 drivers, running Win 7 Pro. I purchased Genesis from GOG and I have attempted to get it to run on my box, but it will not. When the opening screen loads, the mouse gets 'sticky' and the sound stutters.
In perusing the forums, I see that some here are able to get the game to run without any tweaks. I was hoping to see if those who are using desktops are in fact using a PC similar to mine, or if the ones who are running it with no problems are using AMD processors/Raedon video cards.
I can run games like CIv 5, Borderlands 2, X-COM, Fallen Enchantress, etc with no problem, while other programs are open (even Firefox with YouTube videos on pause with its notorious memory leak) at 1920x1080 with 8X anti-aliasing, Anisotropic filtering at 16x, etc. In fact, I use the nVidia Geforce Experience app and all the games that I have that are listed in that app are maxxed out for visual effects, so I do not think it is a matter of my having enough 'horsepower' to run the game.
I know of the trick to throttle the CPU by manually creating a profile bringing the speed of the CPU down by 50%. I am hoping to leave that as the last resort. I have already contacted customer support and despite their helpfulness, they were unable to help me get the program running.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
