Why are you running it at only 10000? Wing Commander 3 needed very powerful computer to run well - a 486 DX2 66 or even a Pentium. 10 000 cycles, i feel, will be much too slow and your CPU can handle MUCH more. Try 40 000 cycles in dynamic mode.

Also, movies played just fine for me - this may be linked to your cycles being too low.

Unfortuneately, anything beyond 10,000 cycles on this computer goes into sound skips very badly. At this setting, WC3 tells my I have an moderately fast cpu. I am also suffering from the double stroke keys (alt-x pops up then clears)

I did try 40,000 and had the same issues, but thank you for the advice

but you didn't set core=dynamic, right?

I've tried both core normal and dynamic

Then you should have realized you can set a lot more cycles with dynamic core.

If 10 000 is at dynamic core you have some serious problems. My XP 64 3000+ could push 15000 cycles on normal and 80 000 on dynamic.

Ok, been playing around more with settings

The dynamic core at 15,000 cycles fixed my sound skipping issuesI can run 15,000 cycles just fine, even with dynamic core. Anything beyond the game basically runs too fast (what little animation I do get is in fast forward mode).

I'm going to work on the Alt-x problem with the information I found in another post, but I still have the video freeze problem.

Thanks all for your advice so far

Oh it's the timer thing again. Use a CVS build.
