i've been playing bards tale for a while now and i've noticed that when my fps drop below 40 the game starts to run in slowmotion?!?!? i mean the particle effects and camera rotation is still normal just the player and enemies start to run like they are in slowmotion... anyone else having this problem?

i used fraps to display the fps Confused

I have this problem in every game in 3D that I play. (Never played Bards Tale) It's something to do with the hardware underclocking to lessen load then reclocking to normal.

The game also get's slow whenever you talk to someone with a light that surrends him, like the princess or the 3 tower guardians.

The game is so funny that is worth the waiting

I downloaded the bard's tale demo when i was on my geforce 5600. the bards tale demo takes place in a ice cave and there were some frozen enemies that were standing around with ice all over them. when they were in my viewable, the game slowed down as the frame rate did. I recently got a new comp and the game no longer slows down around those areas. its a bug that deals with lag, but with better hardware the game speeds up. my guess is ill need slomo when i play this game a good 4 years from now heh...

anyhow the easy but expensive fix is better vid card, maybee a patch will come out later on that might fix it.

EDIT: adding system specs for my system as of today -
dual cpu amd opteron 240, tyan k8we, asus geforce 6800, audigy 2 zs, xp64 corp, 77.xx nvidia 64bit drivers... i played the demo on this machien, with no slowdowns, and then i got The.Bards.Tale.CD.Version.BWClone-XMAFT and its been a lot of fun.

when i originally played the bards tale demo it was on a athlon 2800, gffx 5600 and it was smooth except for certain effects like ice or lighting...
