That RAD thing is probably not working properly. No you should believe whatever system information from 'My computer' you acquired. Should I look into finding more RAM? However that program also tells me I have only 2.5 GB free HD space, but when I click on My Computer Windows tells me I have 6.66 GB free, so I don't know if I should believe this radinfo thing or not. I know Win98 can be a bit of a memory hog, but 15 MB doesn't sound like much for Pharaoh to work with to me. One thing I've just discovered: I downloaded the Bink player from this site and found a 'RAD System Information' program (radinfo is the icon name) and it gives me system specs but tells me I have only 15 MB of available memory, though total RAM is 128. How do you do that? I never run any other program (except Windows itself of course) when playing Pharaoh anyway. Those same threads mention turning off everything except Explorer and Systray. Oh, and last night I did run scandisk, defragger (drive was in perfect condition) and deleted all the temp files that was advised in some earlier 'slow game' threads. I should be playing Saqqara over the weekend or on Monday, and will report back then whether this problem persists into that mission or its just some fluke of the Abu mission. I have not played Pharaoh again today to see if the problem has persisted. I started one-by-one deleting the firehouses, hoping that might solve it, but got distracted by other things in the game and didn't complete that project.Īlso I saved the game and restarted the computer but the problem persisted (sorry for not including all this info, it was late and I was frazzled by a long day of game play and my mind wasn't fully awake anymore). You'd think if the game were to slow down any time, it would be for not-overly-small monument project, and not just durring normal game play of a mid-sized (4000 pop) city.Īlso it started with the fire I mentioned earlier attracted ever fireman in town, as if the fire somehow corrupted the game. This happened in Abu (Elephantine I think is the alternate name) but not before, not even in Abedju (Abydos) when I had the three mastabas going. The strange thing about this is it only happens in most overlays (but not all, the water overlay is normal speed) but when I return to no-overlay-view its fine again.

Also it becomes vary slow to move around the map, like if you try to move your view of the city (not the little 'satellite map' but the main screen) it moves vary slowly, responds vary slowly, as well. Eswen: No, it just looks like the game speed was turned down.
