Help with Font Smoothing and getting the game to run at a decent pace.
I am having trouble getting CivIII to run well. I have been discussing this in another thread but just to give some background I have 1.4 GHz and 512 RAM.
When playing the game on a larger map with more then 2 other civs the game gets increadibly slow. I am trying a game on a large map and there are 3 other civs still alive and it is taking about 10 min a turn. It was suggested that I disable Virtual Memory and reinstall. I have done both and it is running a bit quicker. My question now is font smoothing. After I reinstalled a message came up that suggested I enable font smoothing and to look in the readme. I have gone through the readme and don't see anything about font smoothing. Does anyone know where I go and what I need to do to enable font smoothing? As always thanks for any help. |

Font Smoothing
Depends on the windows version.
Try, Help from the start menu. Type in font and there should be an item smoothing. It will give you the directions for your windows on how to enable it. Hope this helps but I don't think you will get a significant performance increase from this.

I didn't know that is was a Windows thing I thought it was in the game. But I still can't find it in the Windows help section.

I've seen a lot about slow running of civ3 here and a few common answers seem to crop up which some poeple say helps:-
1.disable background prgrams esp anti-virus - this can slow things down a lot 2.defrag your hard disk (some poeple have reported this as bmaking a big difference) 3.use the civ3 options to disable show animations and pasue after enemy moves.
