[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="17" id="2058656"]I tossed it back as a sarcastic response, because that is how I perceived SamCheeks' response to my answer. He has a card that does not support DX9 functions, period. With DL you could get away with that much better than with DA or Twilight. He came back with the DX software that he has installed, and with a 'thanks for playing' rebuff to my response. Fact is, it does not matter which DX software

[quote who="kryo" reply="12" id="2057644"] Enhanced Ship Rendering, Animated Components (TA) and Allow Mixed Vertex Processing Mode do not toggle based on the video presets (i.e. poor, good, shitty, epic, etc). Because those options are for debugging purposes, not detail; they don't depend directly on how powerful your video is. On newer cards, they increase performance, but older ones (even ones that were high end at one point) may not support them properly and they'll

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="10" id="2057356"]Even with DL you are running totally off the hard drive. There is no CD needed after the install. Your problem is with a very slow DX8.1 video card (DX9 is required), a slow CPU and not enough RAM. Face it. Your system is simply not up to handling the expansion packs - at least not with close zoom levels. [/quote] I have 9.0c but thanks for playing....

Enhanced Ship Rendering, Animated Components (TA) and Allow Mixed Vertex Processing Mode do not toggle based on the video presets (i.e. poor, good, shitty, epic, etc). Well then where do you find the options to toggle that off? When I put it on poor, it toggles off basically everything, so if its on that long list its toggled off...oh wait I do believe I see it on that long list....hmm its off....but thanks for the help. Either wa

Well I appreciate the help, but that still doesn't explain the part where I said I put all settings to POOR, and played on a TINY map....and still had lag, or where I said I played dread lords on full blast with gigantic maps without any problems. But thanks for the help, and I'm getting more ram, have already ordered two gig, but something still isn't right with the picture, when the game will play the original not the new.....

I've sent this to the stardock support also, but seeing as how they are busy and take awhile(days) to get to you I figured "what the Hell" I'd give this a shot. I bought the store version of Gal. Civ II dread lords, and have recently downloaded the expansion packs. Now the problem is that I can play Dread lords on Full blast with no problems, but the two expansion packs, when I try to play either of them I get a ton of lag when I'm up close, its so bad I don't want to play, but as I b
