Stuttering problems and game's display freezes upon entering the Episode 1 area in the hub world. #251

I heard that Ironwail was better than Spiked in terms of performance, so I decided to install it and give it a try. Right from the get-go, it had some stuttering problems, it froze a bit and played the autodemo as intended. But when I began playing the game, it got worse. My game froze seemingly at random, stuttering and repeating the last sound effect it played, unable to close, rendering the game unplayable. I had to alt+F4 my way because it didn't want to close so easily. But when I tried to open the game again, I noticed that the game specifically freezes at the Episode 1 area in the Hub world... I wonder, does this have to do with me transferring id1 files from the Spiked folder, even the save files and such? Or is it my Intel HD Graphics 5500 struggling with it? Please leave a response and thank you.

Are you running with console debug logging?

Unfortunately there's not much I can do about this, it looks like a bug in the Intel GPU driver - it crashes and stops responding at some point. It also doesn't report any kind of info in debug mode to at least make it possible to work around the issue.

Someone already made a similar report, so I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #102. For now, I think it's best to stick to QS/QSS on systems with a HD Graphics 5000 series GPU. Sorry I don't have a better solution for you!
