Hi !

Cossacks 2 runs "correctly" on my PC, but some times it runs slower...
Of course my PC is not the best for this game :
- AMD 1700+ XP
- 512Mo DDRAM
- GeForce4 MX 440 (64Mo)

I don't want to change my PC.
Do you think that changing the graphics board should be sufficient to
improve the performance ?

Thanks

No, but removing the StarForce driver that got installed together with
Cossacks 2 might ...

Pas vraiment, en effet pas du tous, car je n'installe pas des jeux avec
du malware comme Starforce.

Seems okay - although rather minimalistic. There isn't as much of a strain
on pathfinding in Cossacks II as the terrain is generally clearer and more
focused on roads, but is on the low side.

I'd upgrade to 768 or 1GB. Cossacks II seems to want a lot of memory -
although this could be the Starforce driver the other poster mentioned.

This is also risky - should be at least a GeForce 4 TI (or in the current
age, an ATI Raedon 9000).
