Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems Dont Know What To Do??

Hey i really want to play this game so much it seems very cool idea and fun and i bought it about three days ago but it just so badly stuttery and everything looks like its bugged the way people move or how the goblins look all kinda like there not even 3d :S do i just play it or wait for a patch, my fps is around 50 to 60 all the time and it still stutters like if i had 10 fps i have tryed all the other things people say to do in forums but none have worked yet sorry if all this words seem a little confuseing and messed up im a little drunk and tired please help

got 2 options :

1 Wait for a fix or something, i doubt it xD
2 Get your money back and wait for a solution, If no solution appears buy another game,
u'll be sure to play smoothly with high settings.

Welcome to the forum.

Either your computer has been on for a while (few days) and needs a reboot or something got corrupdated.

Uninstall/reinstall the game if a PC reboot doesn't solve this. Your save game shouldn't be effected by the uninstall.

You might have to update your video card drivers if problem still persists.

Those solutions don't work, with that he will only get upset and throw the game through the window.
My solution is easy and works great on all platforms It's not a computer problem... it's the game

All the games till this one works great, this one doesn't, maybe the engine? let the larian stuff tell us whats going on here.

The stuttering is caused by peaking CPU cycles. If you run a CPU meter during gameplay, then alt-tab out, you'll see that the CPU is at 100%.

If you have Vista or Win7, then there is a tweak you can do to make the game more playable. You still get the stuttering, but it is hardly noticeable.

-Run Windows Task Manager
-Start the game and leave it at main screen
-In Task Manager(under the processes tab), right click the Divinity2.exe, and set priority to high.
-Alt+Tab back to the game and play.

Also turn on Timeslice Shadow updates.

The game may hang when you exit out, so you may have to kill the process manually.

i dont think i want to take the game back since 1 there is barely any other good game out now that or i have them already and i am on window 7 i tryed that setting high idea before it helps a tiny bit what settings should i do in options i know that with shadow render on the fps goes from 50 to about 20 :S so i disable that the timeslice shadow updates i put that one on and the other timeslice update on high and low setting doesnt make much difference just looks worse i just have bad luck i bought 3 games last wensday 1 riddick that came with no serial number on the back and this game seems to run bad :P ooh well thats life maybe i will see past the stuttery and just get used to it thanks for all the suggestions by the way blade4ever do you own this game still?? if so you sound like you dont like it :P so it must be to do with window 7 or? im wondering how many people have the problem and what system and settings they have on if they get the same problem many thanks

Yes i have the game, not original english version, it's easier to delete than to throw 20 bucks. Never said i hated the game, it's just that other games " better or worse " and they all run 100% with the settings u put.
I've got problems too with the game under W7, and to be honest i'd rather not play it than play it 10min and uninstall it.

Hun... Is that true where you live?
Here in Brazil we can't get any money back after we buy a game that don't work.
They just say that it is my fault and i need to buy a better computer.

The developers need to think twice before release something that don't work.

Yes it's true here where i live they give you the money back if it doesn't work, and sometimes if you like something in the store change it for something else.

you definely cant take the game back once open in England sucks

I believe, in Belgium it is also NOT possibly to bring a game back and have your money back!
Maybe in Belgium you can change it for another game of the same prize or they give you a purchase worth of the game you bring back ... but I think it isn't possible in Belgium.

Maybe there're gameshops who give you "the chance" to try out first the game you will buy ..?
But also I think something is only possible with consolegames and NOT with pc-games!
(but I'm not 100 % sure)

AFAIK there is a new patch to be released soon that will get over those problems. I also think that the english version doesnt have the latest patch installed (wich is only available in german i think), thus accounting for the major complains around.

Shame Larian had to release the english version like this, dunno if it was a distributor fault or pressure to release earlier than larian was ready, or if it was larian that was late on the release of the "fix-it" patch.
