Re: Demo is out
If you are having frame rate problems, make sure you have the latest drivers for your video cards. Both computers here that had these problems were resolved by downloading the latest drivers.

Re: Demo is out
Why Me, O why me!! Gods of Mercy, spare me!!!
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. (for those who dont know laptop drivers are differents from standard ones).
Tell me there is an ugly trick to run openGL apps faster. ??? I have no solutions as of now.

One of the reason that alot of games have gone to a bare-bones game with a bare-bones starter guide, and a seperately sold "strategy guide", and a seperately sold "expansion" that was obviously nearly finished when the game was released...... is that pirates do buy strat guides and upgrades.

Re: Demo is out
Well, I have a serious problem with running the demo. I double click the .exe file, my monitor changes the resoluion, and then simply nothing happens - the game doesn't even start. It stays that way, with resolution changed, and I have to ctrl-alt-del out to restart the comp. Interesting thing is that I actually see the ctrl-alt-del menu, and the game is not listed as running.
I have Win98SE, Athlon 800MHz, ATI Radeon 7200 with 64MB RAM, 256 RAM, and the latest Direct X and drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
