suggestions for slower computers Options

[Romulas]

I ran into a very annoying problem the night before last. Started the shadelord battle and was amazed that he fired so many spells right off the bat, don't have the exact number but it was alot.

What this did other than destroying my party was slow my computer down to a crawl. The characters that were not slowed from his slow spell could still hardly move and could not make it from the door before getting killed.

The question, are there specific settings that I can alter that will make this a less computer intensive fight? This is the first enhanced encounter that has done this and might be as bad as it is because the battle scene is in the dark and I think that maps like this are more difficult and computer intensive. Just my opinion.

For slowdown problems, see the mod's pinned F.A.Q.

Just for testing purposes, I soloed the battle against the shadelord with a 25th level sorcerer. Both sides had plenty of summons and cast plenty of spells. The area was quite crowded, but I didn't experience any slowdown or lag despite the fact that my computer is not a very fast and new one. Did you try the battle after restarting the computer. Perhpas the lag was due to your computer's status being working for a long time without a restart.

The exit behind you is closed as long as shadelord is alive; that's why you have not found it to exit.

As for the number of spells, I assure you that the number of spells each and every spellcaster in IA casts is "legal" and according to their levels of experience (Of course, I'm aware that you didn't mean to imply the opposite, but I just wanted to clarify for the third party readers).
