Hi there.

I have some performance issues with torchlight, too.

I am able to install the game and with the settings.txt from http://www.runicgames.com/uploads/safemode.zip i am able to run it as well. Everything without a problem so far.

The problem is that I am experiencing extremely poor performance. You can tell by the look of the menu screen lagging. The game runs on an unplayable framerate.

What I did:
1. I installed the game from .iso
2. I copied settings.txt from the link above to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Runic Games/Torchlight
3. And I started the game (wine Torchlight.exe)
No problems, no error-messages popping up. Just incredibly low framerate ingame.

After noticing the poor performance I uninstalled Torchlight, installed dcom98 vcrun2008 with winetricks, reinstalled the game but no changes. Setting all details off/low, no fullscreen, no anti-aliasing and activating the netbook mode didn't help.

My system:
Ubuntu 9.04 (64bit)
wine 1.1.32
Nvidia Geforce FX 5950 Ultra using proprietary driver 173.14.16
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1Gb DDR400 RAM

I know, this is low end Hardware, especially for gaming, but I am quiet sure, that this it not hardware related.
A friend of mine runs a way better system with dualboot winxp and ubuntu 9.04. While he was able to play Torchlight with full details, activated anti-aliasing and high resolution under winxp, he encountered exactly the same problems when running torchlight with wine under ubuntu 9.04. Extremely low and unplayable framerate no matter what setting he used. So the hardware doesn't seem to be the issue here, especially considering that people claim to be ablte to play the game on low performing netbooks.

Can anyone help me out on this?
I would really appreciate some help and would enjoy to be able to play Torchlight after I have not seen any decent hack and slay game since Titan Quest.

Thanks for any help.
