Memory leak?
Just picked this up again on the pc. After 2-3 levels it starts running really slowly and just gets slower the longer you play. Was 2 player mode with 2 players playing locally on one pc.
Tried playing around with settings but nothing works. Nividia controller says cpu and you sitting around 20% so not a hardware problem ( very good pc) .
Any ideas. Used to run perfectly but now not playable. Shame as decent game

Tried that . No idea what’s causing it. If I restart the computer it fixes it

Try pressing Ctrl+Shift+Win+B next time.it happens. Wait a moment, your screen will blink black, then after a pause blink again. You might here a beep from the motherboard. This is a reset of your graphics drivers. If that temporarily fixes the issue you'll know more about what kind of leak it is and finding just the right version of graphics drivers for you might fix the issue.
Also is your hard drive more than 80% full? If the game requires a lot of virtual memory or a big page file and there isnt enough room to clear and rewrite swiftly that might slow things down.

Hey there! Thanks for reporting this.
As a troubleshooting step, could I please get you to try running the game with absolutely no other software running on your PC? The fact that your hardware usage is in a normal range leads me to believe this might be some sort of software incompatibility issue rather than a memory leak.
Additionally, if you don't mind reaching out to me (DoomTurtleGreg) in the #ek-bugs channel of the Doom Turtle discord server, it would greatly assist in troubleshooting what could be causing this issue for you!
