The Shattered Kingdom lag on XP
PostPosted: 24 Nov 2009, 14:03
Yesterday, I thought I'd try something different. The main OS on my laptop (which is all I have) is Vista, and so I tried using a Virtual Machine of XP, with Hamachi installed and Kam the shattered kingdom to try and get a multiplayer session up...
The xp virtual machine works fine with hamachi, and is also capable of running the peasants rebellion, (dutch, with sp2) nicely. However, when I start up tsk, it randomly starts to lag on entering a different screen, where the mouse gets unstable, and starts moving in square blocks (like 50px to the direction I moved in.) It's gets impossible to reach the areas in between.
try1:
menu works
mission intro starts lag, because of this, I was unable to click the continue button to actually start.
try2:
menu is already lagging... cant do anything
try3:
menu works
started tutorial succesfully
when I quit the tutorial, the statistic screen started the lag.
try4:
menu works
as soon as I start tutorial, it started the lag.
It might of course be a bug with the vm, but it's unlikely, as TPR is working normally
It might be that it's not the latest version of tsk (I installed from original cd), I don't know if any patches for tsk exist.
Would be nice to get it to work, I'd be able to play multiplayer... Or should I just try my luck in tpr, and have the big chance of no longer being in sync?
