Weird Frame Drop

Absolutely loving the game so far, just wanted know if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am. I know that I don't exactly have a top of the line gaming PC, but my computer's been able to play the game pretty smoothly. However, in exactly one room, the room in the southwest corner of Castle Kharos, I get these abyssmal frame drops. Like, they drop to zero. I can walk around the room, but the screen remains frozen. Only when I open the menu can I see where I've moved to. This happened during the mission to sneak into the castle and persists now that I hold it. The rest of the castle, the rest of the game, there's no problem! At worst the game slows a bit in big maps with complex lighting. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Very happy to hear you're enjoying the game!

So, this is a known issue. Certain maps have a -lot- of events on them, and those can be very hard on weaker CPUs. I'm working on an anti-lag fix, but it has a few more bugs I need to iron out. You can get a beta version of it on the Steam version for now, if you want to. I'll be bringing it to the main version of the game soon, but I'm currently waist deep in the next update and can't really stop and iron it out right now. 

There are only 3 known issue spots where it breaks, though, and those can be avoided by swapping back to the non-anti-lag version, if you want to use it in the meantime. I'm willing to upload a version of the antilag beta here on itch if there's interest.

So, I have a bad habit of saying I can't do something then doing it anyway. =P

I've uploaded a version of the anti-lag beta that fixes the three known freezes. There is one other graphic weirdness issue  (a few large things may stay on the edge of the screen even after they should disappear), but this is purely visual and only happens on a few maps. I prioritized getting the breaks fixed without taking too much time. This is available on steam or here on itch.

Thanks chief! Gotta say again, loving this work of art, and really appreciate you for putting it out into the world.
