I tried --disable-enhanced-lighting. No significant difference. Interestingly, at night the FPS is only 6-8. Around 10 FPS average will have to do, as I'm running FG on the laptop given to me for work. If I ever decide to buy a desktop, I'll consider a top-notch video card/graphics setup. And like you and Jon pointed out, maybe the s3tc patch will help. Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
