Issues unresolved
Whilst in battle, the game would, approximately every 3 minutes, drop from the regular (on an average machine, I do not know the specs of it) FPS of ~60, to < 10 FPS. It would go back to the regular FPS about 5 minutes later, and then repeat this cycle. Cause unknown, fix unknown.
