Moderators Volcano Posted September 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, your CPU sounds pretty old (almost 10 years). It is probably a combination of CPU and GPU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunc Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 overwrote the options dat, nothingdropped all the graphics settings to zero or one, HAVE A PICTURE.Just FYI, "dropping all GFX settings to zero" is exactly what overwriting the options.dat file will do.As this did not have an effect for you, I assume you only overwrote the "<SB_Install_Dir>\misc" file, and not the already existing "%APPDATA%\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\options" file. If the latter is already existing, SB will ignore the default file.Just mentioning this for clarification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
