Quest for glory 2 remake runs slow on my pc

[Thorba]

I know its not the official forum here but maybe someone knows the answer.
I replay the quest for glory games atm and are now at the quest for glory 2 remake from agd interatvive.
My problem is that the game runs very slow even at highest speed settings, i watched some youtube videos and the game was 3 times faster there.
Is this an issue of win10 or did i miss something?
I was laready playing with diffrent compatibility modes and changed many settings at the luncher but nothing works.

This is a hard one to diagnose. I've run into myself playing on an older laptop - it just couldn't compete with newer hardware, despite how low the specs are for the remake.

You could try increasing the amount of RAM that is used, which is usually counter-intuitive, but most computers playing this will have no problem with the 100 MB max listed in the set-up from the launcher.

For graphics, try either. I'm not sure which would work better. For graphics filter, I would try none as a start, and move up from there. Obviously anti-aliasing will slow it down more, so I would stay with the nearest-neighbor filters.

There's no issue per say with Windows 10. I was having problems with this back on Windows 7.

Another option would be to go back and play version 1.0 of the game. A lot of what was patched in version 2.0 caused problems in other areas. Let me know if you need help with that.

First thanks for the quick answer:)
Sadly i tested all the options i got from the luncher already without success.
The game is playable but especially the fights are very slow and not very funny.
I was suprised how fast people on youtube can play this game so i thought its maybe a known issue from win10.
Well i think i finish it now even if it is a chore and hope that wages of war runs better, i am at day 7 now so i am halfway through anyway.

Wages of War will undoubtedly run more consistent because its on DOSBox. Sorry it didn’t work well. Sadly, because I mainly speedrun the thief, I know the game’s combat system only partially.

Good luck!

This works like a charm as of today (16-Jun-24):

1. Install Adventure Game Studio (As of writing, on version 3.6.1)
2. Navigate to the installation directory
(should be 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adventure Game Studio 3.6.1')
3. Copy 'acwin.exe' AND 'SDL2.dll'
4. Paste into the installation location of QFG2 VGA (should be 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AGD Interactive\Quest for Glory II')
5. Run 'acwin.exe' from the QFG2VGA location
6. Enjoy QFG2VGA at blazing fast modern PC speeds!

(OPTIONAL: In the QFG2 VGA directory, rename 'Qfg2vga.exe' to 'Qfg2vga(backup).exe', then in the same directory, rename 'acwin.exe' to 'Qfg2vga.exe'. This will permanently fix the problem on your installation, and you can run the game normally, such as from the launcher)
