Wing Commander CIC

Hi!

I've installed the Remake on a P4 200MHz under Mandrake 10.1.
Since I can't get the setup going (not even with the help of previous threads) I tried to configure the game without the setup.
The problem is that I can change whatever I want in the vegastrike.config, nothing changes.
The reason why I want to change the configuration is that the game runs very slow as soon as there are several other ships or asteroids around.

Thanks for any help
