I played this game when it came out and it was the very first game I was addicted to. I don't play many games any more, but when I saw this, I had to try it. Yum yum, Crack-o-licious.
I have a little problem, though. Everything was going smoothly until...well, I don't know what happened. But I have 7 soldiers and they are all normally equipped, 2 bases, and the game slows to single digit fps when I
1) Go to equip screen at base
2) Go on any map with my soldiers in the viewing area. My soldiers go off map, no problem, everything is smooth.
I have a Asus G1, Go Force 7700 512mg card, Vista 32 bit. Most recent video drivers from Asus. Using 2.1.1 UFO. 2 gigs ram.
Everything was fine and then poof, it suddenly started happening. I've turned off areo, vista services were already tweaked, Tried running in compatability modes. Nada. Happens in all maps. Sound is messed up. Mouse won't move. Screen gets jerky.
I ran this game perfectly and then poof, something changed. Other than adding a second base, I can't figure out what happened.
What can I do? The earth is depending on me, dammit!
