Hi all,

I've got a general question about lag in IE games. I've gone through the expansive list of fixes in http://www.shsforums...nstutteringlag/, but I just wanted to follow up on it with a description of the consistent problem I've faced to learn more about the cause. I've played BGT, BG2 mega-modded (TDD, SoS, etc...), PS:T, IWD, IWD2, and nearly every time (particularly in BGT, BG2 and PS:T) no matter what computer I'm using (I've played them all on over 4 different computers, each more than capable of handling the games) at a certain point, usually 20+ hrs into playing, they start to lag slightly, and then progressively more and more. It's extremely frustrating for obvious reasons- I've gotten seriously invested and then spend another dozen hours pausing the game every time I want to do something and trying not to watch when I unpause and things unfold stutteringly.

So my question is, other than ambient sounds, etc..., what about IE games would systematicallly result in a growing lag that correlates to time spent playing a game? Particularly when the games played smoothly for the first 20+ hours? When it happens, even if I start a new game, the lagging has carried over.

I can't remember everything I've tried over the years to fix it each time- I started playing PS:T recently with a few mods- Qwinn's and the widescreen- which motivated the comment after the lagging started when I got to Curst (or maybe in Ravel's maze- I can't remember exactly)- I gave up on the games frankly a few years ago when the lagging happened during a BG2 mega-mod playthrough (I gave up on bothering with BGT after twice not even making it to BG2 before the lagging kicked in). Thanks for any insights.
