Terribly slow cutscenes and menus.

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Terribly slow cutscenes and menus.

Well, I've tried every fix out on the internet to date, even the home made ones. I've tried lowering the hardware acceleration, switching between geforce2 and radeon 7200, updating drivers, firmware, bios, etc, etc ad nausium, but to no avail. As well, I've tried nearly every combination of settings within the game itself.

I'm still having terrible lag during cutscenes and in the opening menus. Everything is either rediculously slow, or just way off sync from the audio.

It works fine on my one computer with absolutely no tweaking, updating or anything, but the other won't work for the life of me.

(Working computer)
1.0Ghz AMD Duron
384 MB RAM
Dual Output Radeon 7500

(Not working computer)
1800+ XP AMD
256 MB RAM
Radeon 7200 or Geforce2 MX (Primary)
GeForce2 MX (Secondary)

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had the exact same problems. I downloaded and installed the Windows XP Service Pack 1a. Link is here - http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/ ... efault.asp

After its installation, the game worked perfectly.
