Low framerate and freezing in intro cutscene. #611

The In the Intro cutscene, the framerate is choppy, then when Campbell and Swan leave the shuttle then there's a popping sound andf the cutscene freezes while the cutscene sound continues.

I can send you my pc specs if the issue is on my end.

As my crystal ball is currently in the repair shop, knowing your PC specs (and what operating system and which version of dhewm3 you're using) would be helpful ;)

My guess would be that your GPU driver doesn't have proper OpenGL support - try updating it.

I think the latest driver should be this one: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

If that doesn't help, please attach your dhewm3log.txt to a post here, you can find that file in Documents/My Games/dhewm3/

Well the cutscene doesn't freeze anymore, but the cutscene and game is still choppy as hell. dhewm3log.txt

Thanks! You could try disabling soft particles (in the F10 menu). If that alone doesn't help, make sure that Antialiasing is disabled and maybe reduce the graphics quality preset to High or Medium.
