After wondering why various games like darkwolf and pyramid pushers don't work properly on my laptop with ATI radeon 9000, I found out that it is not only the first few objects that get created cause a pause but the DELETE OBJECT command takes nearly 2 seconds to delete an object. So if you delete 100 objects between levels the PC takes multiple minutes to change levels.

Please fix!!!

Simple way around that - buy a nice new Ti4800, like me...

Aside from that, does anyone know how P5 is going ?

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

No need to buy a Ti4800. My desktop PC at home has a Ti4600 and an Athlon XP 2000!!!! No problems with ANY DBPro games or demos with that PC.

With any luck the DBDN users will hopefully manage to find an ATI card between them in which to see if the problem has been fixed...

If you are using Windows XP, one thing you might try is to download the win2000 drivers. I own an ATI Radeon 7200 All-in-Wonder and found that the 2000 drivers are more compatible and run faster (don't ask me why). You might lose some esoteric functionality, but it's a decent workaround.

lol... Patch5: Return of the Bug (sorry couldn't help myself)
ya know the lovely people at Sony with thie Vaio series do lovely laptop - and they all run on GeForce Chips, they'll be the first to put GeForce Mobile into service in fall/autumn

though the annoying thing is no matter how much you change your graphics card, your end users have to put up with this - and ATi are the card of choice given away with new systems now.
so too many people have these things
which is bad news when you want to release your titles... i just hope all of these bugs are teething problems.

you'd think GuyS and Rich having Radeon cards would be enough, but the actual programmers are using GeForce so probably explains why these bugs arn't caught quickly.

I got my GeForce4 in the mail today ... my game has never looked smoooother. Not only do I have zero bugs, but it runs at a whopping 120+ FPS ... ROLL ON DBPro! Roll on indeed ...

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

I got a Ti4800 for my main computer and a Ti4200 for another one (my old MX is going in the slowest computer). At last I can now play games with almost maximum detail for everything...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...
