Playing below official minimum requirements

From my experience, most people's computers are full of bloatware that is more likely the cause of this lag than hardware specs.

Agreed. I'm installing only quality software selected by me after long planning. No demos, shareware, or trials. Sometimes it is useful to look at youtube for presentations if I need some tool because it is often revealed that programs are not doing things in the way I want.

What graphics settings did you use in game?

I've just switched to high. Still no visible impact on speed of the game. Done some timed puzzles with no real problem.
At the moment I'm playing in window.

Great news.

Well I am playing on single core Sempron 64 at 2.0 ghz with Radeon 2600 HD Pro with 256 MB ram and game runs just fine. Only at some places at last levels I had to lower details a bit. Still playable.

Glad to hear it can run ok on lower spec systems, I can't play it yet because my Video Card X800 PRO does not support Pixel Shader 3.0 Now I know ppl will say I should upgrade my old system & they are probably right but I play alot of older games & even the newer ones I have bought run ok.

I bought this game on 'Good old Games', I get games from here because I know I have a low spec PC that can't run the new games with all the bells & whistles. It's not a big deal for me as I will first purchase a video card that does support 3.0 & then later build a new system, but I wonder how many ppl will buy it from 'GOG' without realising it needs a half decent gaming rig & can't play it ?

Anyway I will be up & running very soon, Game looks great & being a fan of the older gen dungeon crawlers like DM, CSB, EOB & Black Crypt I'm really looking forward to this one

I did. However I am in much worse situation as I have laptop with Mobility Radeon 9800 supporting Pixel Shader 2.0 only. It can't be upgraded anymore.

Has anyone with a machine below the minimum reqs had trouble in the last level? My computer is around the recommended specs (AMD quad core @ 3.0 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, ATI/AMD 4870 1 GB), and I encountered some lag there. I couldn't see anything so resource consuming on that level.

Hi
I'm playing in 1600x1200, fullscreen, Vertical sync enabled and all options on "High" with my old desktop :

pentium m780 dothan 2.26@2.7ghz / cm Asus p4p800 dlx / ATI Radeon HD 3850 (AGP) (core 670 / mem 830)

No lag, perfectly fluid in all situations.

But I have this BUG

Thanks to badhabit I am able to check actual number of FPS in game. In normal corridor I can see ~30fps, in Maze of Madness (bigger area with lots of teleports) ~18fps.

I'm playing it on an HP 8710w laptop running (drumroll)

Windows 2000 SP4

Yes, really. That said, for LoG to run I have to install the unofficial post-EOL patches from msfn.org, especially KB2392802 and KB2508429 (which themselves depend on earlier unofficial patches on the site).

It does run fine, however, with the patches installed
