Another odd gameplay problem

when installing the game the default for the route lines is disabled. As mentioned else where its in the game options, not the empire options, that one got me when i reinstalled seiv 1.91.
As for the sluggishness, i can only guess, i used t have that problem with large games on my P166 (it was drag, try retrofitting about 2 dozen ships when the check boxes don't respond till about the fifth ship down).

Ah, GAME OPTIONS. Sigh. I could have sworn I checked that. While I was at it I turned off music and sound options. I suspect that the slowdowns had something to do with those being turned on but not having the CD in the comp. So far, I haven't noticed the slowdowns.

Yep, SEIV slows down tremendously if music is enabled and there is no audio CD in the drive (any audio CD or combined data/audio CD like SEIV CD will do). Sounds are played off of the local hard drive, however. Leaving them on doens't cause any slowdown that I am aware of.

Crappy soundcards can cause a delay like that. I used to have the same problem.
