If your framerate is low like mine is, you can use the w key as a battle speedup of sorts. They tend to run faster at 50fps.

before installing a new driver, be sure to desinstall the old one, then reboot. Windows should switch to standard vga display then.

after doing that, install your new driver. If your official driver dont fix your problem, take an unofficial one at omegacorner.com

if fixed the problem for me, I downloaded an unofficial ATI driver, and now I have FPS wich shoot thru the roof!

Thanks Pocus. I saw your post in the sticky thread about that site, and visited but haven't tried it yet.

Phoenix-D, what Version of DirectX are you running?

I figured out the wiggly swords problem. I had the "filter quality" video preference set to "None", in an attempt to improve frame-rate. It actually has no effect on my frame-rate, and when I turn up the filter quality, the wobbly swords smooth out nicely.

benchmark still shows 9.5 FPS, so I guess just the combat replays will be choppier than they should be. This system performs excellently with all my other 3D games. My video card is a pretty good GeForce 4, I think: Ti 4200 w. 64 MB VRAM, on AGP bus.

Your performance is defenitely lower than it should be on a system like that. Maybe it is some timer error, try to start the game with the --fps 100 switch and see if it makes any difference. My bet though is that your driver from nvidia hasn't been installed properly.

I should mention that the Nvidia drivers are hard to remove fully. Try this utility:

It is designed to fully remove Nvidia drivers, and I always run it before I install new ones.

Saber, you are a resourceful man ... er woman ... er being.
