Descriptive Problem Summary:
Yesterday I upgraded my PC with a better power supply and GPU. Today, I find the Dream Maker and Dream Seeker programs to be running extremely slow, though not quite to the point of total unusability. It's not a crippling problem but it really strains programming productivity.
Here is a summary of my current hardware:
Memory: 2GB RAM
Processor: Intel Celeron D CPU 3.20GHz
New GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4670
If more information is required, I will provide it.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Start up either Dream Seeker (any game) or Dream Maker (any environment) with an upgraded GPU.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
Expected Results:
The programs should work exactly how they worked prior to upgrading my hardware.
Actual Results:
The programs work buggier and slower. For example, if I use the mousewheel in the Dream Maker program to scroll through code it can get stuck for about a minute just scrolling. Responsiveness in both programs is also failing.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? I've mostly tried Eternia: Roleplay.
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? No
When does the problem NOT occur?
Presumably when I am not using upgraded hardware.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? The version does not seem to matter, I have tried several.
Workarounds:
None.

Yes, I do have hardware mode on. That would not explain the issues with Dream Maker, however.
I also am positive that the driver on my GPU is installed, because everything else but BYOND works perfectly, including GPU-intensive games. |
This is known to cause lag when it's off and on the rare occasion when it's been turned on.
