Greetings.
I'll try to make it short..
What I want:
-> To play the game on 1280x1024 resolution & Fullscreen with no performance drops.
What I've seen:
-> Game animations slow down. Espacially in combat. The best example for this is, Crossbowman's bolt travels very slowly after being shot. Also, all units' movements are kind of jerky. Angel flies stuttered, and so on.
->Edit: The slowdown seems to occur after the number of stacks on the battlefield increases. I have no slowness with 3 friendly stacks, but after I have more, everything in battle starts slowing down..
What I've tried:
-> The other two resolution options work without problems and no performance drops. But I don't want them.
-> I tried the "50% Throttle in Power Plan Options". This made it even worse (this fixes Eador: Genesis)
-> Tried all the combinations under Right Click - Properties - Compatibility options.
-> Used the RunFirst utility, which forces the game to run on only one processor core. Made it even worse (this one fixes Divine Divinity).
-> Changed desktop resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x1024. No difference, same problems.
-> Also tried 16 bit option under Right click - Properties - Compatibility . Very small improvement, but still jerky animations.
-> Edit: I have already installed the Equilibris mod.
Computer specs: Windows 8.1 . Very high end MSI laptop so no hardware insufficiency.
What should I do? I've been visiting all the relevant websites for the last two days with no solution. I'm tired but this game defines a certain part of my childhood and I'll do everything to play it again, the way I want.
Even though I know that "you can't always get what you want".. But hope never dies.
Is it possible to have the "What I want: " part I wrote above? Any help is greatly appreciated.
