Hmm... Did you start a new game or try to load a game from the demo? If you tried loading an old save from the demo, it could be causing a lot of issues.
Did you try the Itch demo also? There were some big updates between the Steam and Itch demos (we haven't updated the Steam demo just yet).
Otherwise, try deleting everything and downloading it again to see if perhaps something went wrong with the download.
I'm having the same issue, and then some. The extreme slowdown only lasted for about 2 dialogue lines when I got to the town (although those two lines took quite a while). It seemed fine, but returned when I got the mine key from the molezard and exited the mine behind the blacksmith, although not quite as severe, but still unplayable. Going back in the mine, the slowdown isn't there, but returns as soon as I exit again.
Saved, reinstalled, reloaded, issue persists. Never played or installed the demo, so I doubt that's relevant.
I see. We're wondering if there's some kind of error occurring we're not aware of, and it's flooding the system.
Would it be possible to have the save file emailed to me so we could check that out? dynewulf@gmail.com if possible! We could run it in the editor to see if we can figure out what's causing that to happen.
Hello! I picked up your save file and tried running it - I can't seem to reproduce the massive slowdown you have mentioned here. Everything seems to be running fine on my end. Please reach out to me on discord (medwyn_) and we might be able to poke at this a little more to see what's going on there. Meanwhile, would you mind sending me over your PC specs? Curious if you are running something a little under powered and ED might not have the resources it needs.
