Long Game Delay On Win 7

Hello. Decided to replay Demon Mantra I while I wait for Demon Mantra III to come out (ha ha
). Running on Win 7 there is a huge delay every time a map changes or a battle starts. I almost thought the game had crashed. Any idea what is causing this? I'm guessing it's the music or maybe file loading. It used to work fine on XP. Thought I would bring it up. Maybe others have run into this problem. Thanks!
---- Thinking Demon Mantra III for 2014!

I have no idea. I will look into it. Remember, windows 7 came after the game. I never supported it.
Send me an email and I promise I will see if I can make you a special fix. If it works I'll post the update.

Wow. This is still an issue 4 years later. How fast time flies. Trying it on a Win 10 machine has the same issues. Stopping the music and sounds seems to help. I think DM3 would fix these problems. Time to get starting making it!!

Im not sure what the issue is. Im downloading Visual Studio 2008 in the hopes of converting DM2 into Windows 10. I tried it like 5 years ago and didnt get anywhere. Minus well try it again, probably get the same results.

Hey Issa. Thanks for the reply.
The issue has something to do with the music and sound effects. I was able to complete the game last year with only a few problems with slowdowns.
To do this I had to shut off the music and sound effects. There was other strange graphic problems but it didn’t stop me from playing.
Of course the game isn’t as much fun without the sound and music. Good luck. Maybe you will find what the issue is. Thanks for at least looking into it.

I didnt get any delays on Windows 10 64bit. Just when the music loads.

Hmm. That is good. Haven’t been able to get it to work without the delay. I can if I shut off the sound and magic. That is what I did for my current play thru.
I’m currently lost in the desert town area. Just did the pyramid. Totally lost and forget what I need to do. Been awhile since I played this one.
Not sure what the next step is. I will figure it out. Still pretty fun but inlike DM2 better. Maybe it’s time to start on DM3!!
