I know this is probably my computer's problem but I can barely even move around because the game is lagging so much. Before you flame me: I have a relatively new computer with decent memory. I don't know if you can fix this or not but if you can that would make the game much better.
-
well what are the specs of the PC?
-
'Relatively New' dosent tell us much. In order for anyone to help, please list your system specs.
Just of hand, Do you have the most up-to-date drivers for your Vid card ?
-
Ummmm don't flame me but I dont really know that much about computers.
-
Let's see if you can tell me if this works for you...
One of the things I tell people to try, since I was told the same, is:
When in game, go to Options->Graphics->Details.
There's "Fps cap" value. Lower it. I've it at 25, and the game looks Ok to me.
It's true that I run it windowed, on 800x600 resolution, and that I do nothing risky with it (attack mobs with combo fatalities or read a book inside a library) but so far I experienced a great reduce on cpu usage when playing the game, and no visual loss (that is, you don't see lack of "image refreshing")

No one is flaming you... yet :P
Fist off what operating system are you using, windows, linux or are you using a Mac?
If Windoze;
Go to control pannel and select System. It will tell you some of the info required.
Then, go to start menu and select run, enter 'DXDIAG' - this will give you Info on your Vid card and drivers and such.
