You shoud have at least 128 MB RAM on your graphic card and it should be something like Nvidia 6600 or maybe ATI 9800Pro, not sure. Also there are some very useful tweaks of the original configuration that everybody seams to have used in the early days. You should find a site with those tweaks. I remember there was a shadow feature that turned off speeds the game up for like 10 frames. > And now with the Lost Souls, I can't even see the fricking things, I'm > getting bumped around so much.
