I've got an issue and seem like I can't play the game anymore (I(m not the only one).

Only with this game so far (I've tried other games), when I start it, it soon makes my PC completely sluggish and like I'm moving through mud. None of my memories/processes are over 30%, graphics card is at 0 or 1%, processor 10 to 20, RAM 20%, I've got space on my drive and it is slow AF.

I've tried to duplicate the game files on another drive and it changes nothing. I've tried deleting the game and then re-unziping it and problem! My saves are still in ! So I assume some cache, somewhere, is keeping some persistent game file on and as soon as it opens, the game tries to load several resolutions at the same time (or something stupid like that, I guess ?).

I've searched on reddit and I'm not the only one with this issue, but haven't yet found a fix anywhere that helps. As this game is awesome, I'd love to be able to play it, so if anyone has an idea, please, feel free to share.

Ok, so I (maybe) fixed it, at least for now. Not sure what did it, but in the end I reinstalled my drivers, updated windows, rebooted properly (not a hard "press the power button" reboot like I had to when the PC was sluggish), and also passed the game to full screen before doing all that (which with a slow game took a good 3 minutes).

Now it works, at least for the one session I did so far since, but I can't be sure that'll stick as all my first play sessions were fine too before these steps, so maybe sluggishness will build up again over time ?

Anyway, hope it helps either dev, players, or both.

Thanks for this awesome game.
