JMayer70: Forget the above.... v F10.0 is exactly the same..... it's not just specific to F14.6.
The game is a turkey from the git-go. Particle Systems just what kind of idiots did you take us for?
schnozbott: As another I-War veteran, I played EoC back on XP not long after it came out, and a lot of the bugs I run into on modern systems didn't happen back then.
Take the mission where you're liberating indentures from dagda for example. Nowadays If I jump into the system and destroy the mines, the game freaks out and becomes unplayable. I found a workaround somewhere, but that never happened before I played it on Win7.
That is the most likely explanation. Though even on XP it does still have the Dagda bug. My system is an XP SP3 one.
If it still works, I still have an ancient Windows ME system in the attic circa 2000. Maybe I-War 2 would play well on that?
