NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 is your likely problem-- I don't think these cards were ever made with blistering Direct3D performance in mind... they're optimized for [OpenGL?] -- maya and 3DStudio benefit from cards like this-- not the latest greatest PC games. Why WIC works well and the others don't Im not sure of... Someone kick me if I'm wrong-- just my understanding. DrGonzo
How odd, I was lamenting the same thing while watching a replay last night. I would guess it's just not worth the man hours to make that look right-- Most of the times fighters are just represented by a little rotating icon-- by the time you're zoomed close enough to see them-- you've lost the tactical picture and the ability to effectively manage units-- you're just watching for aesthetics sake-- which I do a lot of as well. :3 Lots of things need their attention-- this should probab

Made me love RTS and want to continue playing them... aside from that 2: Myth, The Fallen Lords 3: Starcraft 4: Sins of a Solar Empire / Entrenchment 5: Command and Conquer: RA Certain runners up: Company of Heroes, Men of War, Age of Empires, Cossacks Dr.Gon

[quote]Nice, how did you take that?[/quote] I tend to watch my replays, because you often miss a lot of the beauty of the game with tactical managment, constant zooming and player load-- It's just a screen-buffer dump that's been edited with photoshop :) DrGonzo

Same thing happened to me last night- the save worked fine when transferred-- however, quickly check all your units and fleets upon loading... the AI may have had brief control and issued odd orders ;) DrGonzo
[quote quoting="post"] When I look at a star at the beginning of the game, it's in this state of flux where the whole surface looks all bubbly and in motion. But if I looks later, this effect slows down, and eventually the animation ceases altogether. Is it supposed to stop, or is it a video driver bug or something? [/quote] Running a mod of anykind? I noticed sometimes modded effects would stop appearing during hectic conflicts and reappear again later..
