Hi guys,
I already invested quite some time trying to get tiberian sun running smootly. First tried to get it working flawlessly on WIN7, which after 2 days i stopped because explosions where still choppy and the overall performance was not acceptable although I fixed a few bugs (cheap buildings, ...)
Now I'm trying my luck with VMWare and Windows XP SP3. I allocated 1552 MB RAM and have an Intel i7 CPU.
After hours of configuration I finally started the game. After managing to get rid of the VMWare toolbar and a black frame around the game (the game was just a little picture, I had to adapt the resolution of WIN7 to the resolution of the game) I was finally playing.
The good part was it worked amazingly well (after turning off DirectDraw). The bad part was only for about a minute. After that the game was screwed, even after reloading a savegame it was really choppy, even if the loaded savegame ran perfectly before. So after a few minutes performances breaks in (scrolling is an absolute pain in the a**, and the game behaves as something is loading in the background, which isn't the case), and also the game freezes whole XP on exiting. XP doesn't even recognize CNTRL + ALT + DEL anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate if someone can help me, after all this time it would be cool to play the game finally without any problems
