Whats the story on 3-D card support for Mercenaries?
We haven’t announced 3-D card versions of Mercenaries yet. It’s fair to assume we’re working on something, but for now stick to the standard version. Writing a well optimized Direct-3D version or a version tailored for a particular 3-D card would take some time. ————————————————————————— Performance I have a 486DX2/66Mhz, and Mercs runs too slow and choppy! On a 486/66, you have to turn off the extra display options, and choose 320×200 resolution. In the shell (before launching), you can do this by pressing ESC, then Combat Variables, then turn all the DETAIL settings to OFF or LOW, and choose 320×200 for RESOLUTION. (You can also set all but the resolution in the sim after launching.) I have a great graphics card, but the movies in Win95 Mercs still runs slow! If your display is set for 24 bit color, the Mercs shell may run slowly, but the Mercs sim will run just fine. If the movies in the shell are too jerky for you, switch your graph
