    So I had a pretty fast computer before but always stayed on Windows 7. Bought a new one, processor is about 20% faster and it runs Windows 10 but everything else is more or less comparable (still 8 GB RAM, processor still an i7, etc etc). For whatever reason UO is running like I'm on dial-up. Seems 100 times worse when I have scavenger enabled but even with it disabled it's slower. Anyone ever had this issue that has any idea what's causing this? I put in a new video card but it's not much different than my old one (not that UO needs a card, just wondering if it's causing some conflict potentially...)

    Make sure you run in compatability mode and uncheck something from razor that's like "use smart cpu reduction" because it is anything but smart

    Thanks gents. Seems back to normal with compatibility mode (FWIW it suggested Vista).
