Scroll Speed
Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 3:23 pm
Hi, I notice that the map scrolling improves once I have been scrolling around for a minute or so - it then loads the bitmaps into memory I think?
Is it not possible to add an option to allow the program to load these bitmaps into memory before the game starts to save me having to scroll around before
I start playing?
I don't have a great system so the game scrolling is still fairly jerky. I just tried a defrag and the 1.03 patch has helped a lot. I may have to get a new PC soon or I may try and increase the memory from 510 RAM if it may make a difference?
