If the game performance is indeed crippled by the game waiting on some other process to do something for it this method should give the name of the process. You may need to do multiple analyzes to hit the culprit as the analysis is very short and doesn't refresh until you do the analyze wait chain again. Then start resource monitor(found in the performance tab in task manager) right click on dungeon defenders process and hit analyze wait chain. Go to a part where the performance loss is most extreme. To do this you need to run the game windowed. The first thing to try would be to see if the game is constantly waiting for another process to do something else. So if someone has time to try some things out for me maybe we can make some progress on this. I would like to help solving this(it's a hobby of mine) but since I don't have this problem it is difficult to do some hardcore troubleshooting.
I have an nVidia GeForce 9400GT video card with the latest drivers (downloaded today), and other games, even heavier, run just fine.

I looked all over my computer and couldn't find anything like that. I read around the fourms and saw that many people had this problem due to something called "Game OSD or Asus something". I opened the config and changed the graphic settings to the lowest value. The game just runs at less than 1FPS, and I can barely even move the cursor around! Not to mention I couldn't even get passed the main menu.
However, the moment the movie finished and this loading screen thing appeared, the game began to lag like hell and my FPS dropped dramatically. When I launched the game and watched the intro movie - it was all fine. I finished downloading the game this morning, and went on to play it. Yesterday I bought Dungeon Defenders with 3 friends from Steam. 25 Obtaining Information – Conversing with NPCs. Magic Inventory (Arcane, Celestial, Nether, and Rune).
