Oh I also found some stderr.txt file in the dir that reads "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)". Maybe this is related, since the window was titled SDL?

I have a meager 6.7 FPS on lowest settings. My PC is a rather powerful one, with Mobility radeon 9000 (64 megs) video card. The problem is that its a laptop, and that the latest drivers (that I have installed) are from 2002.

There is a clean and efficient way to make your OpenGL apps run 10 times faster and your other 3d apps will most probably benefit as well. The trick is to go to www.ati.com , download and install their latest driver for your card. <hr /></blockquote>Well, it seems I have exactly the same problem. And it isn't solved that easily. You see, ATI doesn't support their mobile family, because laptops are too customised, as they say on their web pages. And the Fujitsu-Siemens (my laptop is from their product line) has Last driver update from 2002. And that seems to be the only one that works...

(sorry for the grammar errors and not being clear enough, just came from bar. And why I was in a bar on monday - don't ask)

I see, well if they don't supply a driver with accelerated OpenGL and you can't find one then I guess you will have to run a very slow Dominions II.

The -x switch might help if it runs too slow for you.

Can DOM-II be run in window mode? - similiar to DOM-I?

Yes

The "intro" and quit screens are really nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Is there a some way to slow down the turns, to read the tips? (i know, probably a stupid question, but would still like to read them, as they are now, I barely am able to read the first word...not a fast reader)

Turns will take more time after a while. And you can always add many computerplayers if you want a slower game.

ok, thanks...oh, so far, it is much prettier than Doms1
