SHP Forums

I tried to install my old 1998 CD version of the game using the new Mask of Eternity installer + included wrapper on the SHP. I have a Windows 7 64-bit system with an ATI Radeon HD 6870 video card.

The game installs and runs perfectly and the intro movie plays just fine.

But when I get to the main menu, my mouse cursor lags. If I start a new game, I experience very bad lag to the point of the game being unplayable. I tried everything including changing CPU affinity, process priority, compatibility settings, wrapper settings, in-game graphics settings... nothing works!

Has anyone ever had this problem before and how can I fix it?

Please help! Thank you.

Make sure that the dynamic lighting is turned off in the options. If it still lags, you may need to turn off the Glide.

I turned off dynamic lightning and it looks like that fixed the problem.

The game is still pretty laggy, but at least it's playable now even with the other glider options turned to max.

I guess that's the best performance that you can get out of it since DirectDraw seems to be broken (it produces psychedelic colors all over the screen) and I can't select Direct3D.

Thanks so much for your help... I was at my wit's end!
