Sorry there are already so many threads about this around, but I read and tried so much and I just can’t get it to run acceptably.
I have a Windows 10 notebook with an i7-7700HQ 2.8 GHz with 32 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1050.
I installed Dungeon Keeper Gold from GOG Galaxy with the default settings. Incredibly, at the very first run, it ran quite okay. Since then, it went increasingly haywire.
The game is running much too fast, just like an internal speed factor was set to a multiple (movement is way too fast, research rushes just by). At the same time (!), the framerate is very bad, with a feeling around 3 fps AND frameskip. Of course, scrolling and mouse navigation are off as well and unplayably useless.
I experimented with ...
a) cycles from anything between 30k to 160k as well as max and auto and using +/- in-game
b) cores from 1 to dynamic and auto
c) frameskip, cputype, scaler, ...
d) Graphic Mode Setup (as shown in support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/213039505)
e) Repairing the installation
f) rebooting, waiting, [Alt]+[R], etc.
All ceteris paribus adjustments didn’t really change anything for the better. I’m dumbfounded about what might cause the issue. I don’t understand why nothing helps. (I played a lot on this machine and I used DK and DOSBox many times before.)
