The system shouldn't slow down like that, but it is also true that you are supposed to play the game with a 3D-capable card/driver. Will you be able to play the game even if there is no freeze? I doubt it, so I'm not sure if there is something to fix here, or if it is worth it. Anyway, I tried to reproduce your problem on a slow machine without direct rendering (it was an ati card though). It "worked": it was _really_ slow, I couldn't play at all, but I could see the menu and didn't notice a freeze of the system. With the information provided so far, this looks more like a hardware/driver/configuration problem to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
