Default Re: Video Card and frame rates

Cherry: The Radeon 9200 AGP Video card is the only video card in the machine. It runs dual monitors by itself, so I don't need another card (2 video inputs on the single card). Also All other drivers were uninstalled.

Johan: downloaded "Logical Stones" from that site and seem to have the same problem: I can 'see' each frame run somewhere around 1fps. I actually think Dominions runs faster than this one. So the problem is obviously my card ... or the drivers. I downloaded the latest ATI drivers Last week. You know of anyone running Dominions with an ATI Radeon 9200?

Someone who uses a Radeon wrote this:

Just uninstalled Cat3.8 drivers for my Radeon and re-installed Cat3.7. Your
demo works like a dream now!
So best be careful with the latest Radeon drivers.

Maybe that could be helpful.

Could be an issue Johan as I have Cat 3.9 installed. I'll get the 3.7 and let you know...

Default Re: Video Card and frame rates

You could also always try running the game with -x command line argument. It removes all the pretty trees and mountains etc in the battle background and has some other graphics affects but will allow just about any machine to run the game with decent frame rates.

You could try it and see if that is an acceptable way of playing the game or not.
