[solved ]framerates slow down 
			 
			
				Hello, 
 
The game works fine but at the beginning, I enter a room like office or storage and when I exit the room the framerate slowdown considerably like 3 or 5 FPS... Before I enter office or storage, the same room (the big one with map at the entrance and dogs) works normally... 
 
Some help please ? 
 
I have a 7950 gx2, drivers up to date.

				Suggestions: 
 
- turn of posteffecfts 
- turn of shadows 
- turn down resolution 
- choose a lower shader model (not lowest though) 
- lower texture resolution. 
 
I am afraid there is no "silver bullet" for bad framerates, it depends on alot on your hardware configuration.

RE: framerates slow down 
			 
			
				With a Geforce 7950 GX2, AMD64 Dual core 4200+ , in 1280x760  ?? 
 
It's really a soft problem. 
 
The game runs very fast all the time until I exit office or storage room. 
The first time I enter the big room with the map and the dogs, the game runs fast. After I enter the storage or office room and come back in the big room, I have 3,4 fps until I enter storage or office room again. 
 
Even with all effect down, in 800x600, the game, only in the big room THE SECOND TIME (not the first), has 3 or 4 FPS...

				Does this always happen? Could be that something odd has happened and the game is stuck in that moment causing the lag, try replaying from the start or from a save from before you entered the big room the first time.

				Make sure you have any un-needed applications not running.  That can both the computer sometimes.
			 
			
			
 
Please  -REP me. 
Honestly, please do.  I want to see how low I can go!! 
Ignore that error message too.  Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.

RE: framerates slow down 
			 
			
				This is strange, I am afradi I ahve no idea what might be happening, will have to think about it. 
 
Meanwhile, try WindexGlow's suggestion and see if you got some app running that might be interfering.

RE: framerates slow down 
			 
			
				Ok problem solved. Drivers issue, apparently. I reinstalled it and It works normally. 
 
By the way, this is a brillant game. 
I can't believe that noone had the idea to make a adventure game in subjective view based on physics until now...
