REALLY slow ship movement on XP

trooper · #1 March 11th, 2003, 09:53 PM

I've also noted a thing like that on my two PCs. Ships seem to move faster on my celeron 600Mhz than on my 800Mhz pentium III workstation (both running under windows 2k). That's quite strange.

It is an XP problem that has been there since gold was released. I don't know if it was ever resolved or not, you might want to do a search, there was a big thread about it when gold came out.

Would this be an issue only on the full Version or in both the demo and the full Version? I've been playing the demo (my full copy should arrive tommorrow), and so far everything seems to move fine on my XP system.

All Versions of the game have slow ship movement under XP. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this to no avail. Basically, I turn on movement lines and fast movement and live with it. If anyone does find a fix, please post it here.

I'm also using XP and have no problems.

I have a pretty good nVidia card, so maybe that helps (not like it gets much use

)

I haven't seen any problems on my laptop with XP...but I can't remember if I have ship move animation on or not...

My card is the top of the line nvidia 4600 128meg (at least it was top of the line a few months ago) so its not the card directly causing a problem.

Well this is annoying

EDIT: Ok I checked the old Posts. No CD music/Sound = no help. Looks like a lot of people have had a problem with this. All I can say is I'm bummed. Its not a game killer by any means, but its REALLY annoying.
