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

gforce2 64mb

I got a Thunder Bird 1400
640 Mo RAM
and a geforce 2 MX and i got this problem too so i bought a new geforce 3 t2 to solve it. Someone told me that was my geforce that cause the game to go very slow ...

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.

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.

mizat0 · 01-10-2002, 01:04 AM

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.
