Bad performance demo

[BigStone]

I have some serious problems with the demo
It doesn't run smoothly ..... lots of "hangs" and also a choppy sound
I've tried my old SR2010 and that is running OK with the same sysconfig.

Specs:
P4 2.3
1.5 GB ram
Win XP 5.1
DirectX 9.0c
Radeon X800 (256 MB/catalyst 6.14.0010.6698)

Hi, my first suggestion/question: have you tried adjusting any settings to see if performance will improve? (don't forget to restart and try)

Also do you have background programs running?

[BigStone]

I'm not running other programs and i've tried different settings ... but that didn't help much.
I have these problems right after the start of a scenario and it's getting wurst after increasing the game speed.
I don't wanna think how the performance will be when playing a large map with lots of units deployed.....
If i was unfamilliar with the game i would have deleted it immediatly from my HD
And again ... SR2010 runs OK ...

i'm having this problem as well--every five seconds, the demo freezes for a full second before starting up again

it makes it pretty much unplayable

also, when i try to adjust settings, everything in the graphics options except for screen resolution and satellite image resolution refuses to change--i click on the other options, like 16-bit color depth, and nothing whatsoever happens

You seem to be correct that these are not allowing you to make a selection, we will investigate further.

As for the performance issues, I'll let George to comment on that, he'd know more about it.
