load times for RC2000

Does anybody know if doing a full install of the game will speed up the loads time when going from module to module? Also, does a full install permit playing w/o the CD, ala the Papy sims? Thanks James Larson Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Hello, I am not sure about all the different versions of the games (geographically), but I have a full install and still need the CD to start the game. I have a 7200 spin WD with ATA 66 and 2MB buffer and it still takes a bit to load the levels. I don't find it much slower than say, Quake 3 though. A full install definitely will help with movies, etc. On 22 Dec 1999 20:53:45 GMT, [email hidden] (Jlarson88) wrote:

Ok well a full installation amkes a huge difference!!! If you can spare the space then doit but I doubt it can be run without the CD, but I'll ahve t check that. -- GraDee (...who is on the case!) ------------------------------------------------------------- Karting "3.65" www.esatclear.ie/~karting ------------------------------------------------------------- "The dozens and dozens........." > Hello, > I am not sure about all the different versions of the games > (geographically), but I have a full install and still need the CD to > start the game.

Randy Macgruder had a good point in his review. If they would just show an enlarged version of the stage map during the load, instead of the same old Ibiza, then it wouldn't matter so much. It would give us something to think about.
