Hello,
I played the EGA version of QFG2 as a kid (and several times since) and only recently heard about and downloaded this VGA remake. I am having issues with the speed of the game in combat. I have read the Technical FAQ and attempted the fixes suggested there and in other posts. The speed I am talking about is roughly equivalent to what this guy experiences in this very recent video:

(I have reached out to the author of the video, as well.)
I am running a Windows 10 quad-core laptop with integrated graphics. The speed for the rest of the game seems a bit off, but it is functional. The combat portion is just too frustrating. Here are the fixes I have tried:
- Various built-in compatibility modes, including XP SP2, XP SP3, reduced color mode, 640x480, disabling fullscreen optimization.
- Setting the affinity from the task manager after starting the program to utilize only CPU 0.
- The "alt tab and open a YouTube video in Firefox" trick.
- The 2x-nearest-neighbor graphics filter, force letterbox, and 85 MHz settings in the Settings box.
- Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
I'm not sure if there's something else that I haven't tried or if I just haven't done the right combination of things? I would really love to play this beautiful game! Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: Combat speed
I have the same issue, with speed in general--not just combat. Did you ever find a fix to this issue?
Re: Combat speed
Alternatively, this game is now runnable right from ScummVM, you might want to go that way. See here.
Re: Combat speed
So ScummVM was majorly buggy in the past, but I just downloaded the development build of ScummVM, and it works _great_ with the AGD Interactive version of QF2 now! Combat speed isn't all hinky, the graphics can be customized to however I want it to look, and Suck Blue Frog works as intended!
woohoo!
