Happy birthday, Spoony!

Yeah, it's pretty good. Glad you got around to trying it.

Sadly, yes. GOG is mostly a curiosity for our American brethren. If it's not on Steam, it might as well not exist.

I have just reached the overworld map. Love it so far.

I remember tried reading Gardens of the Moon years ago. I can't even remember if I finished the book, let alone what was happening in it.

Likely your graphics card is running out of VRAM. Maybe the game has a video memory leak or just exceeds you cards VRAM capacity.
