  1. Hi! (My problem is very similar to this topic : http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/15619-rather-odd-performance-problem/ but sadly the solution can not apply to me) I'm a fan of the thief games since the beginning, i loved the FMs we could add in Thief 2. I was thrilled when i knew the existence of The Dark Mod, and playing it reminds me so much good memories. But I have some performance problems which are rather disturbing... I use the TDM updater, last version, to date, to install the game. I have two computers : An Asus G53, i7 2630QM, 8gb, GTX560m, Intel SSD A custom made pc, Q9550, 4gb, GTX285. By default, the game is (nearly?) maxxed out (16AA, max effects etc). First problem : Loadings are VERY long. Though compression is enabled, I have Nvidia cards (regarding to the solution in the FAQ about slow loadings for Ati cards). I don't think it should be THAT long. For the training mission : 1.52 minute for the first loading bar. 5.07 minutes in total! On an SSD! Second Problem : I quickly discovered I lagged a LOT when going outside in the training mission, for example. I decided to lower the quality, but i still had some lags now and then. I thought it was a problem with the game files, because I think my computer (I only tried the Asus Laptop at that time) is still decent enough, so i reinstalled with a freshly downloaded TDM updater. Same problem. I thought it was because the laptop wasn't good enough, so I tried to install it again on my second pc (GTX285, old but still pretty good for that game, no? ) I still had some fps drops. In fact, even with ALL the effects to the minimum, in 1024*600, vertycal sync disabled, etc, i have some fps drops from 59/60 to 30/20 in some lightning, in the streets of the first mission pre-installed (I don't remember the name) , on the GTX285. Is this supposed to be "normal" ? Because, to be frank (NOT trying to disrepect the work at all), with those settings, the game looks so flat and the colours so unrealistic i feel like playing a bad thief 1 fm. But I don't really care about the graphics quality of the game, I just want it not to lag at all. What I also tried : -> I suspected the performance management mod on my laptop, nothing strange, the GTX560m is used, the cpu goes to 2.6ghz in the game (loading too), nothing seems wrong. Plus on my desktop I don't have any kind of power management software. -> I played Diablo 2 a long time ago, and used an openGL wrapper (a dll file) to make it work. I thought TDM was openGl too, and that it could be the cause, but I checked and I no longer have that dll installed. -> Both my computers are on windows 7, with the last nvidia drivers, and freshly installed TDM from the updater. No problems with other games nor softwares.
