Not only is it slow, but it gets laggy at times if there is much going on, even when the slowest computer is an xp2000 with 512mb of ram and the server is a p4 3.4ghz w/1gb ram ;o( -- Margolis

I just got the game and it runs brilliantly in single player on my 2.8c with 5900 Ultra but while online play seems fine, once a little action starts, it CRAWLS. I've got the 1.6 patch so i guess there is nothing more I can do. Anyone?

I would recommend removing any superfluous network protocols and make sure none of the PC's are running anything that uses the network connection (like P2P software, Firewalls, etc.). - Booch
