[quote who="Shirley" reply="7" id="2178734"] Sound shouldn't have that much impact imho. A lot of integrated sound chipsets offload all the sound processing to the CPU, and this can definitely have a performance impact on older single core systems. Lowering sound quality settings should help with any heavy performance loads.[/quote] That didn't help much in my case. In fact, it didn't help at all. The only thing that helped was playing with /nosound. With /nosound it r

Reply to Performance improved by /nosound in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

We ( my boyfriend and me, both having the same system and of course the same issue) resorted to downloading experimental sound drivers from http://www.nforcershq.com/ to try it out. Our onboard sound card is a Realtek ALC850, a sound card that is extremely badly supported. Anyway, those new drivers didn't solve the problem. So those can be scratched off the list as well. I'm out of ideas.

Zoom and move around to a different part of the map? I've noticed this can help at times. Also, does it happen in multiplayer?

Then without sound using the /nosound option Game starts at Sim Speed 4, I cap - still a steady 4 and fps 45. I then wade into battle and it remains at 4 with fps above 40.
