Slow (and new here)

Hey,

new here, I'm a big fan of the original Warzone 2100, and recently I rediscovered my original retailversion, only to find out that it won't run on my Vista notebook (crashed to desktop on Cam.1 after 'incoming intelligence report).
I was excited to learn about the open source project, and I downloaded 2.07. At first I couldn't even get it to start at all, with a crash to desktop, leaving it in some weird resolution. I fixed that with the parameter (from the sticky topic).
But now I find the game is running slow, tediously slow, including the menu's. I've been reading the forum a bit, turned off Aero (as suggested somewhere), checked if my OpenGL drivers are up to date (and they are). I've found topics that handle this, but without a satisfactory solution yet.

Anyone got any further suggestions? Or maybe a suggestion how to get the retail version working?

Thanks.

I know of some problems with OpenGL applications, which run very slow without any reason, which seems to be a driver issue. Otherwise it could be, that SDL has a few problems with Vista and can't get a hardware context on your machine.

Can you give us any further information? Which Vista version do you use? (Including the architecture (32/64bit)

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32bit.

Something interesting happened though: somewhere on the forum I read that somone installed the retail version, patched it to 1.10, then installed the 2.07 update, and it worked. I tried the same, and I got it to run. Except: it's only the original 1.10 version that's working, but at least now I can get past the first mission without crashing to desktop. I still haven't managed to get the 2.07 to work properly.

2.0.7 isn't a update. 2.0.7 is a standalone game.
The Warzone Resurrection Project has nothing todo with the retail version.

Yes, I am aware of that, that's the strange thing about it. I installed the standalone update into the retail directory, and all of a sudden it worked. Somehow some strange mutant hybrid thing made it run.

2.0.7 files propably overwrited the original ones.

I have the ultimate solution.

Get a Mac.
