Hi everyone.
My wife has the same issue with her Russian Steam version of the game (1.506): 2-4 fps in traders' menu while 40 fps in all other areas.
Tried to help her using every solution I found:
- my PC instead of hers
- turning off AV
- 4GB Patch
- djVoodoo D3D files
- various div.exe compatibility settings
- turning off shadow, fog, etc
- game files hex editing
- other "solutions" from this forums and from Google search
Nothing helped.
But, guess what? There's no such an issue with the English Steam version!
Yes, that means I switched the game language to English, started a new game and found no issues at all - wonderful 40 fps all the way including the traders' menu.
It's not a big deal for me to play the English version, but a real headache for my wife.
So, could anyone please share a working solution of the issue with me?
Thank you very much in advance!
