it's what i said....

Bullcrap. You said get a new computer. My computer is new, and good.
I got this less than a year ago and I asked them to maximize all of my hardware to nearly the best they got.
This computer exceeds my old computer by far.
What do you want me to do get an alienware computer?

Not my fault the one I have can't process some stupid flowers fast because Graal is so unoptimized.
I probably have a component that has trouble with the flower animation process.

Maybe the same reason I lag after entering a new level on Era because Era has 50-100 background NPCs per level.

Best I can say is maybe ask Stefan to put in an option to disable animated tiles. That won't be an immediate fix, of course...

Shimmy post your full specs please.

intel core 2 duo CPU clocking at 2.66GHz

Have you tried installing the latest catalyst drivers for your graphic card? Updated DirectX 9.0c?

I would maybe remove the animated flowers for pics1.png? (i think it IS possible)

It's still going to animate the tile?

You can't stop the tiles from animating unless you just don't use them in the levels. This is because Graal animates the predefined positions of the tiles no matter what is there.

I updated everything and it still lags

Hmm, maybe your hardware was made for Vista... maybe you should try getting your hands on Windows 7... whatever way you want. If you know what I mean. ;)

You know that could be true.
My computer came with both XP and Vista, but they expect you to use Vista.
I can't find my vista disk though, hope I didn't leave it at my old house which I probably have no access to by now.

It would be cool to multiboot between the two.

true that, you may also find you'll need to configure Windows Vista and Graal though

Have you tried running Graal in Windows XP/98 compatibility mode?

I don't have vista installed.
