Bizarro...I wouldn't know either, but I haven't been fiddling around with the unsupported modes myself. But if you also encounter it at 800x600 it's prolly not it anyway. Sorry, can't help ya bJ.

ok, my old pc would SEEM to suffer from a serious framerate hit when fighting a dragon. it was fine any other time but in that situation. my new pc is a 64 3400+, with a new gen gfx card and 1 gig of ram. it shreads soa. but i'm still getting slowdown fighting dragons. anyone got any ideas? it CANNOT be a low framerate on this settup. the only real changes are that i'm playing at an unsupported resolution of 1024 x 780 and the frame rate is set to 45, were it is normally 30.(although i had this problem at 800 x 600) any ideas? |

I always have massive slowdowns when fighting dragons. My pc is not as new as yours, but everything in BGII goes easily except dragons. |

Welcome to my world, well of course my pc is just crap compared to yours so i know why it happens, but dragons often seem to slow things down. If you don`t feel like toying around with all the settings, which are all minor things and won`t help much i think, i would suggest to learn to live with it. I think i haven`t fought a dragon in full speed yet. Btw are you sure it`s not your sound that causing the problem? Just read this article and sound could cause problems it seems: http://forums.bioware.com/viewtopic.htm ... 5&forum=10 |

Intersting, thanks for that link, i'll go back to the nasty 800 x 600. the sound is onboard 7.1, i'll mess with the settings, see what works.unlike the thread its only the dragons, but its worth trying. |

well, i've gone back to 800 x 600, which is highly sucking, but playing through again, but it'll be a day or so until i reach a dragon. i'll save a different game and just keep messing with the settings until it comes up ok. i'll let you know how it goes anyway. first time ever playing as a multi druid/fighter because i didn't want jaheria but wanted the druid spells. quite fun really. imagine its easily soloable with this chr.. |

Oh yeah, fighter/druids are very versatile. Especially when they get the elemental transformation.  I soloed an avenger once, and that went pretty smooth. (up to the endfight  ) the elemental transformations can transform you into uber-melee chars, pretty neat. Anyway, have fun and I hope you don't encounter any more probs.
