I have:
Windows XP Pro XP3
Core 2 Duo e7200 @ 3.4 ghz
4 GB Memory
ATI Radeon 4850
I have Nehrim patched to the latest version. Everything runs fine from the tutorial cave up to the first part of the outdoors. However, I enter the mine where you are required to kill/stop the rats at the beginning of the game, and my game comes to incredibly low frame rates. Low to the point where I can't even play the game, such as less than five FPS. It seems to only happen in this area so far, but I can't proceed in the game because of it.
I have tried the game on every setting, from lowest to highest, and nothing changes the fact that my FPS is terrible with the rat part.
any ideas?
