This game is unplayable due to low fps
Doesn't matter if I'm playing with a octo core cpu and a 1080 ti, or an old laptop, it ALWAYS has a low fps count, and ALWAYS to a point of unplayability. Does anyone know of any fixes/patches/etc.?

I play the game in windowed mode at medium size. Seems to run fine for the most part with only some FPS drops. Game uses flash which is why it runs so badly for what it is.

There have been hundreds of threads about this (mostly to no avail = why Rebirth actually wins already)....Try to change the graphics setting to low first, combined with a 800 x 600 res or maybe even 640 x 480. As VaderDFXB suggests, Windowed Mode is an option too.

I recommend reinstalling the game. What are your specs on you PC?

Yeah, I believe so! The crucial problem is Flash and what it can handle; more content, which was the WotL DLC, made the game run even slower.
Although I totally loved this game and think it has a fair price tag, I also think it's unfair and maybe a bit unethical to sell a game like this -- not informing about the nasty 'leftovers', that are still within v1.666

This game no longer gets any attention due to Rebirth.

Keep also in mind that this game runs in Flash, regardless of how powerful your PC is, the FPS won't go above 30 and also it might decrease during long playthroughs.

Overall, play Rebirth, it fixes a lot of issues that the original had and improves upon it by a lot. If you like the soundtrack of the original more, there exists the option to download a mod that replaces the music. And regarding the graphics, I don't think there exists a mod that brings back the original graphics, but I guess you could get used to the pixel art style.

EDIT: It turns out there is a mod that brings back the graphics of the original version and even one that removes the extra contents of Rebirth. The graphics mod is called "Reflash" and the one that removes the content of Rebirth is called "Classic mode".
