I run the game on a 64 bit system.
Have you tried turning off unnecessary apps or programs running in the background before playing Torchlight 2?
Also some anti-virus could slowdown the game while you play if they have some features active like the auto-scan of active .exe. Other anti-virus like Avast have options to turn off such features while playing which help reduce lags.
The only other possible cause of your lags that i can think of is your PC itself. I know the question is dumb but are you sure your PC can handle this game? Do you have enough RAM? A good GPU? Even if this game isn't demanding resource-wise on most PC if you have lets say a Core 2 Duo with 2G Ram and a 512Mo GPU you could experience some lags. Ho and if your GPU is an on-board one instead of a independant one this could also cause lags. On-board(integrated GPU) GPU are notorious for their poor performences when it comes to play games.
Yes! I am playing few more games that you can run on 64bit if you wish so the game can use more of your computer potential.
I am don't running any aps in background. My pc is enough good to handle this old game. Maybe I have to try to reinstall my Windows, because it is already old. But I am sure you have lags in big battles if you have played multiplayer with high skilled players.
pc: i7-3770k, 32 gb of ram, GTX 660ti 2gb.
If that doesn't help (and, after a year or so, it's likely), you'll have to do a complete backup (obviously), and wipe the disk and reinstall. Installing Windows, BTW, does take well over an hour.
FWIW, Linux installs in about 20-25 minutes, and all the drivers, except for nVidia cards, are already installed. Except for military shooters, which are better on a console anyway, every kind of game is available for Linux; nowhere near as many as for Windows, but there are close to 4, 000 games. and I, since 2013, have purchased or otherwise installed 831 games.
I've been a happy Linux user for 10 years. I have never gotten any malware at all, and everything I want my computer to do for me I can do. What's not to like?
Give it a shot sometime. You can make a bootable USB drive, and try it out without touching your C:\ drive, or you can install it, either by itself or a dual-boot, which allows booting into Linux or Windows flawlessly. And, for safety, always go online with that USB plug, and you don't eben need to install Linux.
My PC is an old i5 Dell Precision T1500 with 8Gig DDR3 Ram and an old nVidia GeForce GT 1030 2G and it's running perfectly and it should run flawlessly on your PC as well since you have a monster of a PC. I checked for the version of Torchlight 2 and it seems it's a 32bits version that is on Steam(to confirm this it's installed in the 32bits folder(Program Files(x86) of my Windows and not in the 64bits one).
Sorry i can't help you more. I hope you'll find a fix to your issues for this game.
EDIT : Also try what the gentleman above me ( [LINUX]oldrocker99) recommanded to you. It really worth a try.
What you need is a KDE-based desktop environment just like Kubuntu has. It's really similar to Windows and easy to navigate into.
I do a lot of photography processing myself, using the free programs Shotwell an organizer, Darktable. a free version of Lighttable, and GIMP, which does 99% of what Photoshop does. Did I mention that all off those programs are free?
Torchlight runs great on Linux, BTW.
I think with the PC he has he can afford a KDE distro lol. It's all a matter of taste. He could also chose a distro using the lightweight LXDE which is like KDE but without the occasional bugs of Plasma.
There is so many distros available i'm sure there is one he could use and enjoy. And i can confirm : Torchlight 2 runs great on linux. I think it's important to mention that Linux in general has evolved drastically during the last 10 years and it's way easier to use it now than it was back then. There is even the possibilities to install graphic drivers automatically(and other 3rd party programs like Flash) during the Linux installation. I remember the time when we were forced to manually compiled graphic drivers via the terminal. I think most people don't realize it's no longer the case for most distros and it's probably because of that most people are afraid to install a Linux distro.
BTW, KDE is very configurable, but a lot of its configurability buttons are sometimes hard to fine. I just love MATE, and have been frustrated getting a Plasma desktop to display what I want it to look like. And LXDE, which is great, doesn't have the features that MATE has.
But...Linux is great whichever desktop you choose.
