Default SEIV Running bug query

I have just got round to installing SEIVG on my new computer BUT when I am playing it, it appears to freeze about evry couple of minutes. It only freezes for a few seconds and things that you type in during the "freezed" period appear on screen..

I am running a 3GB system with 120GB memory and an ATI 9700 Pro graphics card. Does anyone know if this causes problems?

Try turning off animated ship movement. IIRC, it can cause problems on some faster machines.

Thanks for the quick response Fyron. I recall seeing the icon for that so will give it go.

Stupid question maybe but by animated ship movement, I assume this is your ships zipping along their flight paths whenever you give them orders on a non-simulataneous game.

If it is, then I can lose that

PS are you not West Coast America? if so, isn't it 02.11 in the morning over there? do you not need sleep?

havn't tried to download any of the patches yet. I will download the patches and then probably just take on the TDM Modpack, as I love that!

Re a game, yeah, I will let you know when I have the patches installed and we can then do just a game for thee and me.

By all means, drop what you are doing and download the latest patch. There have been LOADS of fixes and improvements from the original gold Version. This will save you a bunch of questions and headaches.
