I know I'm going to get a lot of flak just for the title, but let me explain.

My living circumstances don't tend to leave me with a lot of extra money to spend on entertainment, so when it comes to video games I tend to pirate before I buy. When I find that a game stands head and shoulders above the rest, I end up putting together the money to buy it with. I really, really like this game, but the lag and sound glitching really puts me off.

Now I've read that dual core systems experience lag on the world map, so that is most likely my problem. I expect the lag when on the Raven to be tied to that. However, all of my NPCs stutter worse that Shodan, and so does the music. Is this also tied to my CPU being a dual core? Or is this that special something that was left in the games as a surprise for pirates?

Anywho, I really look forward to buying this game, but I'm gonna have to wait for these issues to be worked out first.
