Greetings, all -

For what it's worth, the ATI X850 card made zero difference. Since that was one of the hotter video cards around when the game was released, I'm figuring the sluggishness problem isn't video-related. Since it gets more sluggish as a patrol progresses, and especially when a 'Replay' is in effect (that is, if you've saved the replay every time you've saved the game since you left port), my best guess is that it's the reason for the sluggishness. The only flaw in my little theory is that if you save a game without the replay, then load that game and continue, the Replay feature is now kaput, so you'd think the game would be smart enough to recognize it and stop making a replay in the background.

Regardless, it's a fabulous game and I'm having a ball with it.

For example, I didn't know until recently how lovely Tokyo Harbor is in the spring.

Thanks for the feedback,
Doc
