Hmmmmm, since addons, DX7, and updated video drivers I've noticed that the
game is far less stable. I NEVER used to get lockups, drop to Windows, or
drop to reboot. Now these phenomenon are fairly common.
I am ALSO getting odd frame rate hits. Not a slow down, sporadic, come to a
video halt, hits. For up to a second. It can be very disconcerting.
Now, the fact of the matter is that I *DO* have a seperate backup drive
sitting on the shelf with a box stock GPL install, DX 5, and original V2
drivers.
Guess I'll have to pull it out, do some drive swapping and comparison, and
get back to you.
