Yes ive seen it, thats why I made the comment I assume im getting around 30-35fps it does run smoothly for me, of course i did go into the nvidia display control panel and set my options to "best performance", disable verticle sync... etc... and it runs perfectly for me. yeh a small loss of visual quality but not really noticable in most games. Honestly i can run just about "ANYTHING" in 1024*768 16bit on this system,ad BCM fits in there perfectly. Yes, it is time for an upgrade when I get some cash, but I havent yet come into a single game or program that would not run at acceptable speeds at 1024*768 for me. So I dont know, maybe im just lucky and have some odd hardware configuration? Something off the subject I would like to point out is how much performance difference in windows 98/ME/XP in comparrision to inside of linux, windows 95 (, and nt 4(opengl), and well win2k... in windows 95 b your framerates are VERY high compared to 98/ME/XP/2K, and in linux, well lets just say u cant compare the performance you get from running 3d games inside of that, its amazing. if everyone still used windows 95 (or even nt 4) and microsoft didnt add useless bullshit to the operating system like the eye candy graphics effects, the integrated IE into taskbar thing, your performance would be alot better. Why dont you try running windows 95 b (osr2) on your system, install updates and patches and compare the performance your getting right now to the performance in win95, besides win95 requires 8mb of ram, to run, what do the rest require? minimum of 64 to run efficiently, well xp requires 256 to run properly (from my experience) That was just eating away at me, I had to get that out. sorry

Demo 2 runs perfectly on my pentium II 266 w/geforce 2 mx/ 328mb of ram on win2k You can lower the minimum requirements a bit if you like The first person bit when you exit the craft in the game engine needs a little bit of work if its going to be multiplayer Other then that im having a great time learning how to play this in my spare time its a little challenging for me but im getting used to it Anyawy just some feedback for you, I do enjoy this game, its nothing like anything ive played before. very uniqe, sort of reminds me of star crusader by take 2 interactive i used to play years ago on my 486 but its much more advanced.

ive no luck getting the DoS version to work properly in win2k = atleast not until microsoft decides to fix the mouse bug in high resolution dos modes, it might work in xp who knows, but i will never use such trash ill just have to play the unsupported windows version for now, not as good as the dos version but it works..... i might even play around with vmware and see if i can get it to run at playable speeds inside of that. this game is pretty fun, even tho i still havent figured all of the controls out HEH *reads manuals*

thanks for your suggestions, ill try to play with a mouse driver for dos and ill post my results here on this thread, so anyone else who wants to try it has something to go on

I have managed to get version 2.09 running under windows 2000 in dos mode with sound by using VDMSound for windows nt (ms-dos sound emulator) and starting with the following options: bc3000ad /n /d1 /v1. I am having but one problem that I was wondering if anyone can help me with, the mouse gets stuck up in the corner inside of certain area of the screen whenever i try to play the game, or any other dos game in windows 2000 utilizing vga (640*480??)+ and svga resolutions, is there any solutions anyone can come up with to correct this problem, i would really love to play this game on my system.
