Ah! The Graphics option page scrolls - didn't see that! Turning off HDR does improve things a lot, but still not completely smooth. Under Windows 7, I don't seem to have a way of turning off hardware sound acceleration - apparently something to do with the way they now implement DirectSound. I think I'll just resort to the 'process priority hack' - that way I can run everything and it is quite playable (probably 30 fps @ 1600x1200 with most things on high). I kept shadows on, but at a lowish setting since turning them off makes everything too bright and happy ;-)
I'm quite enjoying things so far - was playing until 1AM last night *zzzzzz*
Booboo, I've found out something new regarding performance. Make sure that your timeslicing options (animations and shadows) are ENabled, not disabled.
Having it enabled actually improves performance and not the other way around, not sure if you had noticed it, because it seems rather counter-intuitive, and many people assume it to be the other way around.
