Nickermeister didn't specify if the performance problems have always been there, or just been happening since patching the game. On Zero Hour 1.0 I can play a solo skirmish against 7 computer controlled opponents on the Twilight Flame map with all detail settings to maximum and very few performance issues occur. After patching to 1.01 (and still in 1.02) I can't even play against one computer opponent without severe performance issues even with detail to custom with everything minimum making the game completely unplayable (<1 fps). I guess the performance issues did have a good side effect though. I'm no longer playing Zero Hour an hour a day on the Internet against a friend of mine! JJ
