Okay, I've got another question, this time actually on the technical side. When I first got MxO, it's always ran slow. There was no lag or anything, but all on-screen movement was roughly half as slow as it ought to me. It's like everything's in slow motion. The game would occasionally "skip" to get back to where it actually ought to be. Then we got a new computer, and the game ran perfectly fine it.
Well, now I'm looking to get a second account (there are multiple people playing in the house, and we'd like to play at the same time), so I'm wanting to play on the older computer, but the problem still exists. It even does it with the cinematic sequences. The video is like in slow-mo. The audio runs fine, with certain sound clips playing on cue, but ending before the next sound cue. So, if somebody shoots a gun, I hear it fine, but see it in slow motion. Then if the camera were to cut to somebody else, and they shot a gun, the same thing.
I have a feeling it has to do with the video card, but I'm not sure. I know I've looked everywhere I could, and I can't find anybody else having the same problem. And every other game on the computer runs fine. Oh, not to mention that the computer has been through a reformat or two, and the problem still persists.
Thanks ahead of time for any help given.
