Yup this games is a real power hog!

Why?  Voxels!  What the hell are Voxels?  They are multi-dimensional
polygons rendered in software mode.  They give you those really pretty
lanscapes that run forever but man do they eat up the power.

We are running it on a P3-733 and it's kinda slow.

How to speed it up?

Step one: Go to the otions screen and run it at 16 bit color depth
Step two: Run in software mode not hardware mode
Step three:  Reduce resolution to 640x 480 NO MORE!
Step four: Turn off special effects rain snow etc.

When all else fails reduce resolution again below 640.

By doing this I was able to get it to play pretty well.  If I did'nt
like the game so much I'd probably say piss on it, but ya gotta love
those online sniper kills!!!!


Happy Sniping!

Thanks for the reply Lt. But as far as I know I can't set the color depth
in the game's options menu. There's a possibility to change resolution,
hardware/software mode, and to switch "turbo" on/off. Or does the game
"inherrit" Windows' color depth? BTW yes it's a great game, isn't it? It's
definately my latest and so far worst addiction ;-)

Bye!

 Okay I know you can set color depth!

 This has been off my box for awhile so I will re-load and fiqure
 out how you do that.

 My brother a.k.a. HEADHUNTER needs his ass kicked anyway and has been
asking me to play him online.  On a 32 meg card like the ultra I am
sure you should be able to set depth.

 Running in 32 vs 16 I did'nt see much of a loss in 16.

 Let me know if what I suggested Helped!
