Dolemite007: Um...okay.

BTW, the vexillium port doesn't change anything about Syndicate Wars other than allowing you to play the game on Windows without the use of DOSBox. It's the same exact game otherwise.

DOSBox can be tricky...I guess that's why I'm running into issues with the GOG version that I'm not getting with the vexillium port. Without the added stress of having to run DOSBox (which by itself eats a lot of horsepower, if I'm correct), the vexillium port can just do it's thing. Hell, GOG should have just used that for the port instead of DOSBox (probably couldn't do it legally, however). It would have been more stable.

Again, not the huge deal I was making it out to be...it was only $5.99. And hey, I have the manual now! That's cool.
Hi,

If you're still having trouble with the game after using the Graphic Mode setup tool and other configuration tweaks, please drop us a line via our Support department. Make sure you include your DxDiag and as much info concerning any usability issues as you can provide. Remember, the more information we get from you, the better the chances we can find a solution :D. Thanks!

Dolemite007: Hello! Thanks for the reply, and I apologize if I'm a been a tad testy in this thread. I'll be happy to provide you with whatever info you need if it might result in my issues being addressed with a patch or update of some sort. I'll contact the support department ASAP.

BTW, what is a "DxDiag"?

caitsith01: As per the other thread, the vexillium port runs significantly too fast. I can only assume people are saying it's "perfect" because they've never played the original, or haven't played it for so long they've forgotten what it's supposed to be like.

Dolemite007: I've played the original...the vexillium port's speed is fine. I think there's a tiny little boost in speed in the gameplay, but it's nothing even remotely major. More importantly, vexillium is glitch-free.
It's a program that gathers up a bunch of your system information (no personal information, of course) that allows us to better pinpoint potential problems either with our installation of the game or something on the user's end that may or may not need tweaking :D

Click on your Start bar in Windows, type in "dxdiag.exe" (without quotes) in the Search bar and voila! there's the DirectX Diagnostic utility. You should see a system information option that saves everything to a simple .txt file :D.

Long story short - DirectX Diagnostic Tool. It provide valuable info such as CPU, graphic card, OS etc, etc.
To run it, press WIndows+R and type dxdiag and find Save All Information button.

Oh snap! Judas was quicker :P
