07 February 2005 13:24 (UK time) Okay, first when I was editing my mod with music in the background the game started to get really slow and glitchy. I reloaded the game and music and at the beginning it worked fine but when the music started to pick up tempo and number of chanells it become glitchy again. When I turned off the music though the game stopped being glitchy and slow. I have also noticed this when I play the game, it slows down with the music running in the background. SO what's worng, I never had this problem with the old meteor before? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

09 February 2005 13:24 (UK time) Well that still doesn't explain the problem, I have a 850Mhz PII processor and it still plays slow. I wonder if it uses hardware exaleration instead of just using the sound card's memory. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

09 February 2005 14:26 (UK time) well, How many song tracks are you trying to play? 8 or more may really slow the game down. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
