I've got it too!

Okay, well initially it stuttered and was slow.

Found ways around this now. Briefly

- latest Detonator drivers from www.nvidia.com

- ensure plenty of disk space

- fiddle with Direct3D settings for display driver (set to best performance...overrided scan rate too!)

- tip #5 from http://microsoftgamesinsider.com/CFS...uning_Tips.htm

- turn off anti virus software

- control panel - system - advanced - performance - settings - viz effects - *set* best performance. Eh? It's gone a bit grey? Yeah, well you have a load more memory now.

- set an acceptable resolution and colour level - e.g. 1024x768, 16 million colours.

- read www.cfsinsider.com for more tips


Have managed to get it running okay on both my work 650 with TNT2 and also home XP2000 with Geforce4MX. In both cases, it runs at 30fps. The 650 image is acceptable, playable but not outstanding (afore ye ask).
