Ok, this is slightly annoying, please tell me its a bug

The repair bug it would seem onoly reduces your chances to repair to a very low percentage (like 1 in 1000). You can repair completely broken items... you just have to try a lot of times... took me 30 minutes to repair my gloves the other...

Like TSRBradG said you REALLY need to update your video drivers as they are from 2005. Due to the graphics chipset you have you will have to get your drivers from Dell as Intel do not provide support for the chipset. It is the responsibili...

Video card

At present, hands-down, the best video card for MxO is the nVidia 7950 GX2 (the 2 in 1 card) set to run as a single display (2x the processing power). That's what I use and I get up to 55FPS with my settings tweaked past MxO default maximu...

extremly bad lag in buildings

This is a confirmed issue with with the 8800 drivers, and is most likely a side effect with the new GPU processing structure. Looks like I was lucky sticking with my 7950 GX2. Now we play the waiting game for a new driver release.
