Default Re: Help!

It disables (open?)gl extensions. Graphical features. Only when you run from that modified shortcut, you'll run with a reduced number of technical stuff I'm a little rusty on. A regular graphics card should have good support for gl extensions, but intel (although improving) has previously been a joke when it comes to graphics (though not cpus, of course).

If you run from a regular shortcut, such as the one in your start menu, then it won't run with the command switch. It won't make any irreversible changes to the game.

In my case (cheap new laptop), I was having that waiting thing stuck. I got playing with that command switch, and many others. This ended up the one working the best, without removing any important graphic features (such as background, ability to watch battles). I didn't notice any differences, but then, I no longer had my gaming machine running as a point of comparison (saving up my money).
