Why can't my computer handle WW?

256MB of RAM is way low for running WindowsXP. Do you get reasonable performance in other games?

has anyone found any new ideas on this problem? my computer is running with WinXP SP2, the latest drivers and a full gig of ram, but for some reason i'm falling below 10 fps even at low resolutions.

i've tried kill every other process, i've tried windowed mode vs. fullscreen. in every case, the framerate slows to a crawl the moment the shrapnel logo first pops up.

i've tried installing on a friend's much-lower-spec'ed laptop, and it worked fine with no framerate problems even with half the RAM and several other applications running in the background.

any ideas?

Just out of curiosity, how do you know the FPS? Is there a way of telling Weird Worlds to display that information?
