Try reducing texture size in the video menu.

dosent work. Any other way???

[Ursa]

What are your system specs?

[spleen1122]

well if i can run half life 2 i surely can run warzone

Hm... Try this:
1. Start -> Run -> dxdiag
2. "Video" option
3. Disable some futures of your Vcard (experiment with it)

Sometimes it helps.
HF!  ;D

Beta 2 is slow like hell

That's because Warzone is evolving into a Turn-Based game

The only time I have seen it 'slow as hell' is if the gfx drivers belong in hell

What video card/chipset you got?
Can you play in a window?  (use --window on command line/shortcut)

What OS?

Way to let the cat out of the bag Chojun!

Each turn, you will need to e-mail the person you want to play, your next move.  :-X

Most of the time, as I mentioned, this is on intel or S3 chipsets, and their crappy drivers.

Did you set the texture size to 64 as per mentioned?

Hello,
first I want to thank you guys for working on Warzone, that's like the only RTS i like so i'm happy there is someone who still fixes bugs and adds new stuff ^^
I noticed a problem with this version (most likely the stable release, too). While I was able to play the retail version of Warzone on my oldest machine (PIII 650mhz, intel810 chipset & 256MB ram) w/o any problems, the beta won't run faster than 3fps no matter what settings i select (texture->32mb, res->640x480, no shadows). The loading times are alot longer now, too. The retail game started in few seconds but the beta loads forever, even on my C2D 2Ghz laptop <.<

Was there some change that could have lead to this? Is there something i can do? (please, no "buy newer hadware" posts)
The only idea i have is that maybe the beta loads additional stuff used for debugging or something while the retail one doesn't.. I'll edit the post after testing the stable one more time.

The retail version of the game had a software renderer. This would use the systems CPU to render everything in-game. However, a few years back this, along with the DirectX and 3DFX renderers were removed and replaced with a single OpenGL one.

The reason for this was because maintaining one renderer is a lot easier than maintaining three and since most systems have reasonable OpenGL support there really was no need for it.

Chances are your system used the software renderer as opposed to the DirectX one (most cards which support DirectX normally have some level of support for OpenGL).

(please, no "buy newer hadware" posts)

People give away hardware capable of playing the game regularly. That GeForce 3 you thought was useless? It will play the game.

The retail game started in few seconds but the beta loads forever, even on my C2D 2Ghz laptop <.<

Do you mean it starts loading but never finishes?
