Tiberian Sun frame rate issue

[Freedomgrunt]

When I build low priced units like light infantry or component towers/ any low priced building I seem to get a noticeable drop in fps. I even get frame rate drop when I hover of my base if it's too large.

 

 

Windows 7 64x

RAM 4GB

Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

AMD Athlon II X2 250u processors (x2)

 

I can't disable Directdraw and virtal PC's can't run on this computer.

 

This is the version of C&C TS I used http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41 Because the freeware version wouldn't install on this PC.

This is a common problem with TS I'm afraid. There's no reliable fixes out there as TS likes some computers and hates others.

I think there was some SHP file in TS that fixed it, but at the cost of removing the progress animation altogether.

 

I know Hyper was working on fixing this, since apparently the slowdowns are caused by the fact the game redraws the progress rotation animation over the icon 3 times during every game clock tick, instead of once. This may not seem so bad, until you realize it's also drawn on ALL greyed out icons on the sidebar while building something of that type.
