SP runs extrememly slow.. I have a
1.4ghz P4
Geforce2
256MB
60gig HD
running ME

I put the settings up pretty high, but dont you think that my computer can handle it? If i put resolution down to 800x600 it runs still pretty choppy.. Any suggestions?

Various performance problems with the SP Demo. What Geforce 2 do you have? If you got a Geforce 2 MX then there's your problem. 1.4 Ghz P 4 should get a Geforce 3...

Look for the geforce drivers specifically for winME.
btw-winME stinks for hardcore gaming

my system is;

191ram
gforce2 64mb
600mz

and I have *some* lag problems. but it still runs like a dream. maybe your mz are low?

what do you use for gaming 98?

Because XP and 2k really suck!! Game crashes non stop...at least ME doesn't crash.

Personnally I went out and got winXP after reading all the rave reviews in gaming magazines.
Ive since reinstalled 98se. Ive reinstalled win98se each time after getting a new OS.
For gaming purposes ill stick with win98se till its completely made redundent. Ive tried to play the demo on my work comp that has winME, its also 2x a better machine then my home puter. It runs better on my win98se 800mhz AMD w/256mb ram then it does my winME 1.8ghz p4 with 512ram.
So IMHO winME win2k and winXP all suck for gaming.

I have a Geforce 3 and I get a paltry 30 FPS with everything maxed out. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/frown.gif

DON'T SHOOT, LET 'EM BURN!!!

I don't know about Windows Me or XP being crap, but I don't think you should change your OperatingSystem. 30% chance of you getting even more problems.

Running:

P-3 850
256 RAM
GF2 32mb
W98


nary a problem.

i think windows 98se is one of the more stable and reliable operating systems.. but i would wait until the full game comes out to judge whether the game will still run choppy as the sp demo has some problems.

I use XP home edition and game, netgames, SP, and COOP run great. ME is the worst OS I've ever used.

I use Linux.

I always stick with Win 98se because the newer ones never have a good reputation with gamers. Some cheap improvements might be to use a ps2 keyboard and mouse which are faster than usb, use a high frequency mouse which is smoother/less jerky. No matter what your system is, you should optimize it, i.e. latest drivers (like Nvidia's Detonator), minimize the number of progs running in background, especially qttask.exe (try running msconfig), defrag, don't let windows manage your virtual memory but use a fixed size, do not use windows default settings for internet communication but set your own TCP Receive Window. I have done all these things and each one sped up my system. Lastly, just lower your video settings.

I have a 1.2 athlon,geforce gts,256meg,and 40 gig runnin on win 98. My screen runs slow on some scenes but not all.Thompson did the geforce 3 do the trick or more ram?
