Well, as I've said before, the constant is the game software itself. The variable is the hardware, its software environment including what else is running and the hardware settings (e.g. Nvidia Settings manager) and game settings.

That's quite a barrel of monkeys when you consider the variation possibilities.

I'm PC literate but not being too techy, I'm never sure what people mean when they same 'optimise'. Just what does software need to be optimised for? Seems to me that 'optimisation' is a fix for 'it don't work in the accepted windows environment'. Or is it the Video cards etc that don't fit the generic Windows bill? :headscratch:

optimise...that means you can make buildings looking good without using million poligons or textures or whataver and to run well on modern rigs....thats somehow simplified explanation but youll get the point..

Yus, thanks. You too albx.

So, perhaps we can look forward to even better things. Perhaps come the day I'll be able to run 'Very High', maxed out, etc.

Meantime I seem to be one of the luckier ones. Perhaps because of my only having 'High' settings.

Your MP sound works because you turned off forest. Strange bug...

At the risk of hogging the thread...

I didn't now that Editor, thanks. I'll pass it on.

I've played a few games today and I didn't suffer the MP sound bug. The only difference being that I found a local server with a ping of about 90ms, instead of several hundred.

I wonder if that could have anything to do with it?

In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources.[1] In general, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of operating with less memory storage or other resources, or draw less power.....
