Problems with GPL demo

After reading so many postings from happy GPL users I decided to download the demo, with the view of buying the game if it is half as good as reports. However I am having probs with sound distortion and poor performance, very jerky and unplayable. I am hoping someone can help me. My system spec is: AMD k62/300 Intel 740 AGP 2d 8mb card Creative Voodoo 2 8mb Creative Soundblaster AWE32 I have tried playing the game with and without 3dfx selected, same problem exists. I have updated all drivers, to no avail (including 3dfx drivers from 3dfx.com) The sound distortion also exists when in the menus (the PA announcements) The demo will not let me change sound quality, it is "16 Bit 22khz" I have also experimented with the number of voices option, with no improvement.

What resolution are you in ? You can't expect much out of that machine anyway. I played on a K6/2 300 overclocked to 330 with 2 12 MB Voodoo 2 in SLI mode and that was decent in practice, but not more.

Is this with the original 0.0.0.5 demo or the official 1.0.0.0 demo (look at the red text in the lower right corner of the splash screen)? Eric

it is the 0.0.0.5 version
