Loading the game up or loading say, a skirmish? <P>Since yesterday for me my skirmish loading hangs on me for about five minutes before actually loading up the mission. I haven't found the cause so far.

Mhm, this is unusual. So far the patch seemed to work fine on all computers. (Besides the Turolaser prob of course)<BR>Try uninstalling and then re-installing the patch...<P>Do you have any other patches installed?

Hi,<P>Yeah, it's hanging upon loading a skirmish. I don't know if I've waited a full five minutes or so for it to load, but I've given it a reasonable amount of time.<P>------------------<BR>--<P>|_/\|)`/|-|/\\/\/|<<P>--<BR>-I always start what I finish.

Hi,<P>I re-re-reinstalled it and it seems to be working now, but I see no real improvement in graphics. I see some differences, like the fact that the green lasers are a little darker than they were and seem more defined, but the rebel ships don't look any better to me. Maybe it's my antiquated Voodoo 2 card. Can you tell a difference with 32-bit color...does XWA even support 32-bit color?<P>Maybe it's the fact that in XWA you don't usually get a very close look at the ships anyway, except for the capital ships.<P>Maybe FSAA would help? <P>Right now, I don't have the money or inclination (just a desire Image) to upgrade the ol' video card and CPU. <P>Interested in Your Input,<BR><P>------------------<BR>--<P>|_/\|)`/|-|/\\/\/|<<P>--<BR>-I always start what I finish.
