The title explains it all really. I am desperately in need of help with this one. I can play for 20 minutes tops, before it starts lagging. then the lag gets worse and worse over the course of several minutes, and then I can't do anything anymore. Alt+tab does nothing but let me choose to jump to another program, which does not happen, but the screen goes black. The game music still plays. I use:
1. GigaByte GA-7VASFS motherboard
2. AMD Athlon XP +2400 2,00GHz
3. 1024mb of DDR-Ram of the speed 333MHz
4. ATi Radeon 9600 128mb (Sapphire)
5. Realtek '97 (onboard soundcard)
6. Windows XP (SP2)
7. Realms of Arkania - Shadows over Riva. (First, unpatched version. Doubt there are any patches. Requires CD to run)
8. To summarize: Gameplay good with some frameskipping and upping CPU usage, but gets laggier and laggier until I must hard-reboot
9. Every time I play it
10. Sound Blaster 16. 220, 7, 1, 5. mode: auto, rate 22050. mixer in use. Block size 2048 and prebuffer 10.
11. Fullscreen, 640x480, OpenGL, scaling normal2x and hardware scaling 1,00
12. Dosbox 0.63
13. I'm stumped. I have read the manual and the FAQs, but they cannot answer these questions. I have already tried searching the forums. Maybe this hasn't been answered, maybe I couldn't find it.
Help would be greatly appreciated. I think I supplied enough information... or did I?
