Re: SEIV Gold on XP?
Do you really need the ship animations though? I find it far better to play without them... they do not really look very good anyways.

Yeah, I've tried that. Seems to make it slightly faster, but hardly enough to make a difference. Must just be the install of XP Pro I have.

True, and it does cut down greatly on the time it takes to move a ship (having to wait for the animation to end) so I guess its a mixed blessing in a way.

The sound is more important than animation!

Yeah, missing the animation doesn't mean that much to me but sound I think is important.
