The standalone is the version you download from poxnora.com the other version is the one you download on the Steam digital distribution platform. Does it run slowly all the time or is it where the game starts to slow down as you play. Also, how much ram do you have in your computer?
i have 2GB of ram. the game runs slow as soon as i login. i am using the standalone version computer basic info: http://prntscr.com/5tdh2d <-----
Well, it is possible you are running short on ram. Pox Nora on average takes up 500 MB of ram, and depending on your operating system that is at least 1GB used. If you have other processes running in the background like a web browser you could be over taxing your computer. First, Make sure all your drivers are up to date like your video card etc. Second, run a anti-malware program to clear out any unwanted malicious processes. Then disable all remaining background processes that are not necessary for your computer's operation. This might free up enough ram for you.
You can also use this to help assist in disabling anything that is unnecessary, and possibly speeding up your computers operations.

allright look, i downloaded the intel updater and found and update for my video card, seems i had a very undated driver. thank you very much for the attention, problem is now solver: the game runs smooth again!
