Very impressed

The Celeron comment might bear more examination from our "expert crowd" that would exclude me though

To my knowledge, I have not experienced trouble with having a celeron before. But always a chance for a first.

Oh well, I am due for a computer upgrade eventually, the important thing, is will SPMBT be waiting for me?

Now that's the key detail ain't it. A week ago, there was no point in caring, now there is hehe.

Oh and just so everyone knows, yes, I read the whooooooole manual.

Not something I do often, but yes, I have scanned all the permutations variations and potentialities.

I have also installed and uninstalled several times testing this and that. Also downloaded from a different source and did same thing. Plus also tested it out on my second computer.

Might be a memory hog issue and a celeron deal with me.

@Leslie

Please choose "Start", "Run.." and type in "dxdiag" .
Wait for a while.
The use "save all info" (or the button which says something simliar), save as .txt file to your desktop. ZIP it up and attach it to a posting here in the forum.

That way we can have a look at your precise machine specs and drivers version etc.

You may include a screenshot of the taskmanager as well, that we might identify some "offending" tasks by name.

I'd just like to thank everyone concerned for producing this fine product and transferring it to Windows. Having been on a technologically enforced hiatus from SPWW2 and SPMBT for over two years its great to be back.
It is truly a wonderful sight to see the advances that this game has undergone, and I can't wait to get playing properly.
My heart almost stopped when I heard it was out already.
And thanks to Shrapnel too for hosting everything too.

Haven't had any issues yet re: Celeron processors. I have a 2.0 Ghz so I'll keep you posted if I run into any problems.

Best Regards,

Matthew

Thanks for this, guys. I have been wanting to play SP:MBT for a long time now but could never get the dos version to run.

The win version runs great and I am already knee deep in gore in the Ia Drang valley.

Excellent work, again.

Now I just need to figure out all the details...

Some possibilities:
Early model Celeron, so software probably pushing loads of intermediate results onto the stack. Extra RAM may help, but the stack size is limited. Probably only worth trying if you had a spare stick of RAM to hand (e.g. temporarily borrow off the other PC, if compatible RAM).

Same problem on the second PC you mentioned - If so, I presume that is another Celeron-based PC?

Reduce RAM demands.
1) if you use "Show Move Radius" option, go to Preferences and turn that off, because to highlight the possible path around a unit, the game has to calculate a lot of paths, and the more you are zoomed out the worse this can be, especially with units with a large number of MP.
2) Sound off
2.1) Switch the battle sounds off first. Although these are MP3, and so much complressed, they are still large files, playing continuously as a loop.
2.2) Switch off the regular sounds. There can be upo to 20 simultaneous sound "voices" going on. Each channel is a DrectPlay object.
2.3) Switch off the interface mouse click - that gets rid of the "snick" sound, You do that in the main game control panel application Misc tab.
