Really bad Lag

[Unregistered]

I started trying to play this, but even with the lowest possible options, it's still laggy. At the options that make sense for my computer, (1024 megs RAM, 2.6 Ghz cpu, ATI Radeon 9200) I can't even get around inside the station. How can I fix this?

Obviously, that shouldn't be the case. My PC has 512 MB ram, a geforcefx 5500 and 1.4 Ghz processor and it runs fine. Also ran fine when it had a geforce3.

So, what operating system? If linux, are you using ATI's drivers for your graphics card? IE do you have 3d acceleration in X? If on windows, do you have drivers for your Radeon?

Do other 3d games run fine? If other games are also slow, it's reasonable to assume there is something about your system.

Anyway, make sure you have the latest 3d drivers, and try shutting down unneeded processes, which hopefully do not include spyware.

We can tell you if you have 3d acceleration on by if you open up bin/stderr.txt
in that file you'll see a line with
GL_EXT_blah stuff
and GL_win_swap_hint
if you see only 3 or 4 things including GL_win_swap_hint
pay ati.com a visit and download their drivers... you are using microsoft's 1995 software opengl drivers

I downloaded new drivers and tinkered with my graphics settings, and I fixed it, thanks for your help.

Excellent I wish all problems were as easy to solve as telling someone to install the latest drivers. Enjoy the game and feel free to leave any feedback!
