Re: What is Dominions II?
There is an issue with DOM2, SDL, OpenGL and ATI cards:
No matter what system you have, what screen resolution you're running, you'll get either 8,15 or 32(?) fpm.
But it is NOT over-use of ressources, it's a programming glitch in one of the sub-systems (not necessarily even in DOM itself).
E.g. it runs with 25+fpm on my P3/400 (G2Ti) and only with 15 fpm at work (D1800/Rad7000).
Sadly, it looks like the problem is just to "sophisticated" for the developer(s) to figure out - remember, we're talking a part-time hobby programmer here.
And, at Last, I really like the interface.
