Sorry it took me a while to post back, I am usually away on weekends.
That's really weird about the constant 30fps thing. Sounds like a bad vsync or something. Might want to look into that.
Mine ran with everything up, at 800x600 I was getting ~60fps in rooms without people. When people were around it was ~30fps, then with action it dropped to ~15 for normal action, ~10 for tougher action.
at 1152x864 I was getting ~30-40 in rooms without people, ~20's with. and action scenes were actually about the same.
Is this slower, normal, or as should be?
Also, thanks a lot for everything so far
