Whenever I increase the resolution above 800x600 either in the standard windowed mode or in EQW the game gets extremely laggy. Increasing it just a bit creates this funny delay effect where if I move the mouse it takes a second and then jumps, and everything runs generally slowly (the clouds going overhead etc). If I increase it to something near reasonable size the game is far from playable, being extremely slow. I can play full-screen, but I much much prefer windowed.
Also noticed the game takes up most of my CPU on the task manager - from 80 to 95%, so maybe it's a processor problem?
I'm using an AMD 3700+. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 1300 series, drivers are up to date. Running fully updated Windows XP.
If anyone has any other questions to get to the root of the problem feel free to ask, I haven't played SoD in a long long time and now that I have some free time I'm looking to get back in, but I don't want playing to be a chore =\
