I just bought new computer, great huh? :P

Anyway, when i played adom with my old computer it worked just fine, but now with new computer there is annoying delay.

For example, if you try read a book and press 'r', it takes almost second before it actually move to 'reading page', and its way too much.

How can i fix it? :(

It would be nice to know which ADOM you're playing - the Windows, Dos, Linux, Mac version?

If it IS the DOS version, AND you're playing in the DOS box, switch to full screen (ALT+ENTER). Apart from that, I can't really give you any useful insights.

I'm not into how to optimize new computers. I gave up after Win95. Did you consider keeping the old computer for running ADOM? Price of progress, heh.

Otherwise, I'd say you need to free up memory. So much c%¤p and f¤%"#%g processes and s¤%t running in the background makes everything go slow. Mabye because ADOM is such a nice little program, and doesn't demand attention, and therefore the rest of the system processes just screw it over, memory-wise. Try pressing ctrl-alt-del to open task manager, see what processes are running, and look them up on google. A few of them can be terminated and killed without fuzz.

Well mabye someone else knows.

As I said, I run the DOS version on XP, and it functions without delay only in fullscreen. I have no clue about the winbeta version.
