It's pretty hard to help you if you can't specify that problem a bit more. roll

Re: what the.....

Lagging refers to a pause between when you hit the controls and when the game responds.  Is that what you mean to say?

Re: what the.....

What?!  What on earth is that splashscreen doing there at startup?  That's... impossible, Oni never displays that anymore!

Um, wow, I don't even know what I was going to say.  I guess I would just ask what kind of frame rate you are getting, because I can't tell if the recording is choppy or if Oni is actually playing that way.  If it's really that choppy, then you have a serious performance issue and that's the cause of the lag.  Certainly the level took about 5x-10x longer to load than it should.  But watching the recording, I have no way of knowing when you're actually pressing a key, so I can't really "see" the lag.

...Now why is that splashscreen there?!?

He means the window that comes up in the center of the screen when you launch the game.

Re: what the.....

You didn't answer my question on what frame rate you get when you play.  Also, how fast is your computer and how much RAM does it have?

Re: what the.....

That is more than enough for oni, try closing everythinng else onyour computer, update graphics card drivers, clear some hard drive space.

Re: what the.....

Would you be willing to upload just your Oni.exe to a file-sharing site?

You might want to restore your computer to a previous state, but that can be annoying. You won't lose files, but you could have some programs uninstalled.

Re: what the.....

I was wondering if your .exe is different from the Oni application we usually see because of the splashscreen.  Is this a foreign language version of the game?  It's also possible that if your .exe is unusual, the Daodan DLL is not interacting properly with it, so I was wondering if we could see what .exe you're using.

Sorry, but you can't just say it is normal by looking at it wink We would be thankful if you told us the size of the .exe, at least.

Re: what the.....

It is absolutely not normal for Oni to show that splashscreen; no one I know of gets a splashscreen when they start English Oni.  So I'd definitely be interested in seeing the EXE.
