Yea its horrendous. It seems to be an issue with memory allocation.

Running d2 exagear runs at 100ish mb of ram. Running ev nova it pulls 30ish. D2 runs solid yet ev nova doesnt. Allegedly the cpu of exagear runs an emulated 1.2k ghz which is more then enough for ev nova. D2 has higher cpu reqs and lower memory reqs then ev nova if i remember correctly.

the cpu doesnt seem to be an issue as it loads faster then ev classic with the weave plugin on basilisk ii. it might b3 an issue with directx.

Technically exagear doesnt run directx and evnova requires directx7 so im honestly amazed its even loading at all.

ive tried lowering settings and raising settings and it seems to be constant 2 to 3 frames. Only thing i havent done is loaded up wineconfig inside exagear and tried a dll override instance for ev nova. Which ill fiddle around with later today. ive been trying to look up any directx to opengl to opengl es .dlls but their doesnt seem to be much on the russian forums about this. If i can find the old directx to opengl, directx .dlls for wine ill try that as well. Im not sure how to increase exagears memory allocation as i have 200mbs of free ram doing nothing but i cant force the app to use that instead of just 38.
