slowdown on zigurrat

from Demigod Forums

firstly i've been playing since beta and using the same rig since the beginning.

i've noticed recently that during zigurat, once priests are active for both teams my system starts to slow down. due to the popularity of cataract i've only seen this in the last week or so, but it may be related to a change some months back.

i never had this issue in beta or after release and the only change to my rig would be updated nvidia drivers.

any clues?

i'll post a full dxdiag when i get home, but for now my specs are:

yeah you kinda need a better rig there mate ^_^

I suggest a better CPU maybe thats the problem.

and a better GPU wouldnt hurt.

point being this is only after one of the patches (hard to say as i play that map so rarely) as i was in beta and never had this issue.

Did you set all the game video settings to low?  

You could also have other background programs running (antivirus, impulse) that you didn't before.  Since you are on the requirements borderline, any additional application can slow your game down.

Reformat windows...
