well this is good news
I wonder why A_C didn't send me the latest beta??? He had sent me 1.05a, just the .exe to copy over the existing .exe. That's what I've been running for a long time. Works great minus the landscape not working, but I leave it in directdraw anyways (yes RawBuffer still causing problems with overall landscape performance and darn it GoodThings I did finally forget about the registry extract you asked me for!!! I really need to do that...).
GoodThings... why do you recommend setting all the delays under Advanced to Off? I always just left those at default... not sure why this would affect power consumption?
