hi, i did a search and didnt find a thread on this game yet 😉

im after running the game smoothly on my core 2 duo e6750 CPU, and have gotten it to run fairly well with cycles set between 80,000 and 140,000... but cant get it to run fine... lower then 80,000 results in performance loss and 150,000 cycles results in the game not getting past the "new game" screen after the intro video.

any ideas? i kept watching CPU usage for both cores and neither of them reached 100% usage... even at 150,000.

franpa - the default cycles setting is auto. Any specific reason that you decided to override that?

well, for most protected mode games the auto setting fails at getting the games to run smoothly.... raptor call of the shadows, wolfenstein 3d, alien carnage etc. all run slow at 3,000 cycles which is what auto set the cycles to for protected mode games.

so i dont feel the auto setting can be trusted i guess.... ill see how the auto setting goes in this game since its not a protected mode game.
