Gargate,Out of curiosity how many players having these issues have Dynamic Lighting enabled?
Personally my PC isn't the best but I can run Skyrim at 34 FPS on medium settings so there's no reason a game from 1999 would be hard LOL core temps on the gpu/cpu never break idle when playing SoD.
I turned off that setting and the lag spikes/crashing stopped and oddly enough I traced back to the time it started for me to the patch where they added a ton of new light sources.
P.S. I'm posting this in another thread so more players that it might help see it.
I have nothing checked and lighting off... Still crashing! Just an update.Gargate,
Here recently I have been having major issues with crashing while zoning. I will have to ctrl atl tab and end the process through my task manager, and then patch back in. I will check the dynamic lighting setting and let you know what I find...
Thanks for the suggestion,
Liggy
