I have these problems too. In fact, I figured out that even regular game playing is rather slower then at my friends computer, even though that my computer has stronger configuration.
- AMD XP 1700/oc @2000
- WinFast GF3 Ti200
- GigaByte DA-7DXR+
- 256 MB DDR
- WinXP pro
o I tried to update BIOS on my MB - no good. (btw, newer BIOS crashes on board sound card!)
o Tried the latest nVidia drivers - no good.
o Tried original drivers that came with the video card - better, but still not what it should be.
o I have SP1 installed, now I'm downloading SP1a - will see if this helps.
What bothers me here? I have finished playing the story without single death - because it was easier to kill enemies due to slower ship movement - ehhh. It was strange to me during missions. OK I'm a wing commander fan and I have played all these games on hardest difficulty - but still, I haven't played this kind of games for a year so I shouldn't be so good. And then I figured out...
Any one figured out how to fix that, yet?
thx,
