Shadow Dweller Posted May 20, 2007 Ok, i recently found Heretic. started playing it and i instantly notice that whenever there is activity on screen (sounds,monsters,items;etc) the game starts lagging. also, the background music doesn't work either. is there a fix to this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted May 20, 2007 ...wow... Ok, basically, you posted this in the wrong forum (Classic Doom covers all the Doom engine games) and it goes into the Catergory of "OMG DEWM WONT RUN ON WIDOZE XP" The solution : get yourself a source port. You can get a list of source ports in the Forum's FAQ 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted May 20, 2007 I thought Heretic used the Doom engine? EDIT: Okay, I thought it would have probably been moved. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted May 20, 2007 Apart from some slight engine adjustments, Doomsday is the closest stable port for Heretic (JHeretic). I like it much more than JDoom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted May 20, 2007 JDoom is crap. Dude, at this time, I'd recommend ZDoom because it's the most stable and feature-rich port out there. Eventually, Eternity Engine will fully support Heretic, so if you're looking for an old-skewl flavor, when EE gets Heretic support, I'd whole-heartedly recommend that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted May 20, 2007 OK, port bashing/fanboyism ends here, please. Recommendations with reasons are fine. There is also Dosbox, if you do want to run original Heretic exe outside a DOS environment. Increase the setting for the number of cycles (or use the auto setting) to improve performance. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shadow Dweller Posted May 20, 2007 ok, i'll try it. thanks again, guys so far i have only changed the configuration settings. it runs a little faster as long as the in-game sound is turned all the way down. 0 Share this post Link to post
