WA Paradise Quest Lagging

Post by john1013 » Wed Aug 11, 2021 2:59 pm

Apologize if im putting this in the wrong spot, but I cant find any discussions on it. I have downloaded this hub from the cd and it has lag in it just like
potz did. I knew where to go to fix potz, but I can't find anything anywhere on how to fix this.

Yeah I understand the issue, WA PQ from DVD uses vanilla version of WA editor which lags on latest versions of Windows. The fix is to replace this vanilla version with OpenWA: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27821

PS: With the latest version of OpenWA, WA PQ can actually now be compiled as "complete hub" and can be used properly without copying game data into another directory, however I'll need the permission of the hub maker for this.

So what are the exact steps i need to make this work. I just downloaded it from the cd and it played, with the exception of the lag, therefore im a little confused to the steps with the editor having to be downloaded as well.

"Hang on, let me read the directions first" :P

Well I followed the directions :D and ended up with a whole bunch of other levels, but couldn't find PQ. I was getting very frustrated. Then I figured out how to move the hub into the directory and now it plays with no lag. Thanks for your help. :stinkylol:
