Easy performance boost

I highly doubt that POTCO caused your fan to break, it was probably just a coincidence.

I found that on my laptop changing from full screen to window mode helps ALOT. Try using a "full screen window".

Another note: My desktop system is brand new with a high end graphics card. After about an hour or so the lag starts building up. I went on a marathon piliging trip of about 5 hours and everything slowed to basically unplayable. A quick restart of the game fixed everything. I'm guessing a memory leak in the game? Anyone else have this problem?

FYI it is not possible for a game to break your fan. Disney is gonna sue you for slander and put your pirate in jail. LOL

Setting the memory conservation to "Aggressive" saves all of the memory of the game, which means all the data, including where the NPCs, shops and all that good stuff are, is saved. The "Default" setting saves the most important data from the game, but then takes longer to load the other objects from the loading screen which comes before entering a place. The least important stuff is later deleted when set to "Default".

An update if anyone cares

I Stoped the (what I thought was) thrashing! Thanks to the poster who said their fan broke....I opened the tower and watched the fans as the computer started going haywire, and realized there was an inch of crud all over the fan and the little grid thingy behind it (how's that for technical?!?! ) Took the fan out, cleaned the heck out of everything, and now the computer is quiet as a mouse.

SO, sorry you broke your fan, but thanks for the idea to check mine!
