Hey! I'm glad to see this community has an active forum. I've had my eye on this game ever since I was very young, never really getting the chance to play it properly. Once, when I was 14 on my crappy laptop yearsss ago, and now as an adult with a PC. Unfortunately both times having trying to download and play it, it made everything on my desktop huge and impossible to navigate, and just never closed or ruined it for a good amount of time unless I restart.

About 5 months ago I had made this account, fully expecting it to run smoothly. But despite changing the graphics settings, resolution, etc., I couldn't get it to run past 2 to 5 fps, if it wasn't entirely frozen not allowing me to close it that is. So I'd uninstalled it shortly after.

Is there a fix for this? I've always been excited to play but it's a bummer I kept running into these issues. I saw a video of somebody recently trying the game out who had to go through the settings and mess with it for a good 30 minutes or so just to get his to run smoothly. (which is good to know it's possible!)

Is it just because it's an old game, or would it have something to do with my PC? Sorry this is such a long winded post. The TLDR of it is;

The past few years I've been attempting to try TEF, but I've run into performance issues and desktop layout issues each time. Not sure if there are any fixes or if it's normal...

But thank you to anybody who would have an answer..!
