I am having long startups after clicking on the Icon and also long loading times for any map. Like 3 or 4 minutes for start ups. The game does run perfect with FPS above 70 when its finally up. I am running the latest patch 436. I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled it several times. Also Windows ME is a new install. I hope my profile will be with this thread, if not I'll post another thread. I've tried three different 4 in 1 for the Via chipset and currently using 4.32. The game has run Ok on this system before, is there a setting that may be off? Other games run fine. Im also using Direct X 8.0 Any thoughts??
