RFTS in WinXP?
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 8:34 pm
Hi all,
RFTS seems to start OK in WinXP, but the mouse freezes for a couple seconds every.. couple seconds. This makes it damn near impossible to even get a game started.
Anyone have any suggestions? WinXP has very little that I can tweak for this; I've tried both "win95" and "win98" compatibility modes, to no avail.
Thanks!!
Addendum: turning off incidental sound and music seems to help a little, but not much. Noticed longer and more frequent freezes if there is animation playing (like the initial screen where you choose between single, multi, and editor).
*something* is borked. Ah well, the game was never developed for WinXP. [:(]
