I got a new machine and put the game on it to see how well it runs. Answer: Way too fast. When I used to play it was on a Celeron 500. Any way to slow programs down in Windows XP with one of the gig+ processors?

I'm running SP:WAW on Windows XP, with an AMD Thunderbird XP 1600+, 512 MB RAM.

No problems regarding speed whatsoever. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

In the preferences there are adjustments for that:

Live Delay
Movement Delay
Message Delay

Kind of in the middle left of the preferences screen.

The higher the number the slower things go.

Thanks Fig, I am aware of all the delays in the pref screen. But the game scrolls way too fast. I have an Athlon 1600 XP processor on an MSI K7T266 Pro2 mother board with an nVidia GeForce 2 Ti video accelerator. I know there's a DOS program to slow down DOS games but is there something for Windows games?

Funny thing is, SPWW2, a DOS game, runs fine. Troops move fast but scrolling and running the game is not a problem.

In ver 7.0, under "preferences", you've an option "scroll delay". Try to modify it. I made it on my computer, and scroll is (just a little bit) slower now.

Try scroll delay at 1, that worked for me.

Thanks

i run all my Steel Panthers on my P4 1.8, 256 RAM, Geforce3, Windows XP, with no prob, expect for fast troop and tank movements, but don't matter much to me
